Tanaidacea (Crustacea, Malacostraca) of two polar fjords: Kongsfjorden (Arctic) and Admiralty Bay (Antarctic)

15 Polar regions ( Arctic and Antarctic )

Two new species of Tanaidacea (Crustacea, Peracarida) from Taiwan.

Two new species, representing the genus Aparatanais of the family Paratanaidae and the genus Tanais of the family Tanaidae (both families belonging to the suborder Tanaidomorpha), are described in the present study. The genus Aparatanais, the family Paratanaidae and the superfamily Paratanaoidea are recorded for the first time from Taiwan. Aparatanais lenoprimorum sp. nov. departs from its cong...

Tanaidacea (Tanaidacea: Crustacea) from Brazil. IV. A new genus and two new species from the family Leptocheliidae

This study is based on the material collected from REVIZEE Program and under the Petrobrás oil-exploration programs. These collections revealed a number of representatives from the family Leptocheliidae in its broadest sense, with descriptions of one new genus, Makraleptochelia n. gen., and two new species, M. potiguara n. sp. and Intermedichelia jesseri n. sp. The new genus appears to be close...

High Prevalence of Gammaproteobacteria in the Sediments of Admiralty Bay and North Bransfield Basin, Northwestern Antarctic Peninsula

Microorganisms dominate most Antarctic marine ecosystems, in terms of biomass and taxonomic diversity, and play crucial role in ecosystem functioning due to their high metabolic plasticity. Admiralty Bay is the largest bay on King George Island (South Shetland Islands, Antarctic Peninsula) and a combination of hydro-oceanographic characteristics (bathymetry, sea ice and glacier melting, seasona...

Four new species and two new genera of Metapseudidae (Crustacea: Tanaidacea: Apseudomorpha) from Australian coral reefs.

This paper presents the descriptions of two new genera and four new metapseudid species collected from the coral reefs of Ningaloo and Heron Island in north-western and eastern Australia, respectively. Two of the species, Curtipleon chadi n. sp., and Creefs heronum n. gen. n. sp. are members of the subfamily Synapseudinae, one, Msangia mussida n. sp. is a member of the subfamily Msangiinae and ...
