The first complete mitogenome of the South China deep‐sea giant isopod Bathynomus sp. (Crustacea: Isopoda: Cirolanidae) allows insights into the early mitogenomic evolution of isopods
In this study, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of the South China deep-sea giant isopod Bathynomus sp. was determined, and this study is the first to explore in detail the mt genome of a deep-sea member of the order Isopoda. This species belongs to the genus Bathynomus, the members of which are saprophagous residents of the deep-sea benthic environment; based on their large size...
متن کاملFirst records of peracarid crustaceans from the Cayo Matias Ocean Blue Hole, SW Cuba, with the description of two new species
First records of peracarid crustaceans obtained from the Cayo Matías Ocean Blue Hole, southwestern Cuba, are documented. In addition, two new species of isopod and amphipod are herein described. Gnathia micheli n. sp. (Isopoda, Gnathiidae) and Boca normae n. sp. (Amphipoda, Aristiidae) were associated with filamentous algae at a depth of 20 m. Both represent the first report for a blue hole and...
متن کاملA new genus of aquatic cave-dwelling isopod from Namibia (Crustacea: Isopoda: Asellota)
A new genus Namibianira, represented by four new species, N. aigamasensis, N. dracohalitus, N. arnhemensis, and N. aikabensis is diagnosed. The new genus is intermediate between Protojanira and Protojaniroides and is characterized by the possession of ambulatory first pereopods, and a reduced molar process of the mandible. The new species are the first record of cavernicolous freshwater isopods...
متن کاملMarine exotic isopods from the Iberian Peninsula and nearby waters
Effective management of marine bioinvasions starts with prevention, communication among the scientific community and comprehensive updated data on the distribution ranges of exotic species. Despite being a hotspot for introduction due to numerous shipping routes converging at the Strait of Gibraltar, knowledge of marine exotics in the Iberian Peninsula is scarce, especially of abundant but smal...
متن کاملCharacter Displacement in Sphaeroma spp. (Isopoda: Crustacea). 11. Competition for Space
The two sibling lsopod species Sphaeroma hookeri and S. rugicauda show divergent character displacement with respect to body size of syrnpatric populations (Frier, 1979a). The present paper investigates the hypothesis that this displacement causes a relaxation of interspecific competition for space. It provides field evidence of substrate preferences of the various lifecycle stages of isopods a...
