Sexually Dimorphic Scale Worms (Annelida: Polynoidae) From Hydrothermal Vents in the Okinawa Trough: Two New Species and Two New Sex Morphs
Scale worms in the family Polynoidae are common inhabitants of both shallow-water and deep-sea ecosystems, but their diversity in the deep-sea remains poorly known. In the West Pacific, only 10 polynoid species have been described from deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems including hydrothermal vents and methane seeps. Here, we described two new species of polynoids based on specimens collected f...
متن کاملA New Scale-worm Commensal with Deep-sea Mussels in the Seep-sites at the Florida Escarpment in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico (polychaeta: Polynoidae: Branchipolynoinae)
•Some polynoid polychaetes found living commensally in mantle cavities of deep-sea mussels at the seep-sites near the Florida Escarpment, are described as a new species of Branchipolynoe, B. seepensis. They show some differences from the previously described B. symmytilida, commensal with deep-sea mussels in the Galapagos hydrothermal vents. Among the abundant biological communities recently di...

•Eight species of scaled polychaetes are reported from hydrothermal vents of the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California; Neoleanira racemosa in the Sigalionidae and seven species of Polynoidae, including two new species, Bathykurila guaymasensis, in Macellicephalinae, and Macellicephaloides alvini, in Macellicephaloidinae. The latter genus and subfamily are reviewed, and a Key to the seven spe...
متن کاملArsenic speciation in food chains from mid-Atlantic hydrothermal vents.
Arsenic concentration and speciation were determined in benthic fauna collected from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge hydrothermal vents. The shrimp species, Rimicaris exoculata, the vent chimney-dwelling mussel, Bathymodiolus azoricus, Branchipolynoe seepensis, a commensal worm of B. azoricus, and the gastropod Peltospira smaragdina showed variations in As concentration and in stable isotope (δ13C and δ...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism and morphometric study of Caspian pond turtle, Mauremyscaspica, (Testudines: Geoemydidae) in Golestan Province, southeast of the Caspian Sea
The Caspian pond turtle, Mauremyscaspica, is a terrapin belonging to family Geoemydidae. Totally 130 specimens (67 males and 63 females) were collected manually and by net from different aquatic habitats in Golestan Province from 2016 through 2017. Morphometric characteristics such as length were measured using digital caliper and weight by electronic weighting scale. Skin of this turtle was da...
