Highly structured populations of deep-sea copepods associated …
2023年11月6日 · A distinguishing and pivotal feature between the groups of copepods associated with deep-sea hydrothermal vents, namely Dirivultidae, Ameiridae, Miraciidae and Laophontidae, is the differences in their life history traits. We define and …
Copepod - Wikipedia
Copepods (/ ˈkoʊpəpɒd /; meaning "oar-feet") are a group of small crustaceans found in nearly every freshwater and saltwater habitat. Some species are planktonic (living in the water column), some are benthic (living on the sediments), several species have parasitic phases, and some continental species may live in limnoterrestrial habitats ...
Deep Sea Copepod - Smithsonian Ocean
Deep Sea Copepod. This copepod (Gaussia princeps) was collected deeper than 1000 meters in the Sargasso Sea by Census of Marine Zooplankton (CMarZ) researchers in April 2006, as part of the 10-year Census of Marine Life. However, specimens of this species have been collected in all the world's oceans at many depths: in the Caribbean, it has ...
Advances in Taxonomy, Ecology, and Biogeography of Dirivultidae …
2010年8月31日 · Copepoda is one of the most prominent higher taxa with almost 80 described species at deep-sea hydrothermal vents. The unique copepod family Dirivultidae with currently 50 described species is the most species rich invertebrate family at hydrothermal vents. Methodology/Principal Findings.
Unravelling diversity of deep-sea copepods using integrated ...
2017年6月27日 · We elucidate species richness in the morphologically challenging and ecologically important deep-sea copepod family Spinocalanidae in the tropical Atlantic by applying an integrated taxonomic approach combining morphology, DNA-sequence analyses and proteomic fingerprinting.
Highly structured populations of copepods at risk to deep-sea …
Copepoda is the most abundant taxon in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, where hard substrate is available. Despite the increasing interest in seafloor massive sulphides exploitation, there have been no population genomic studies conducted on vent meiofauna, which are known to contribute over 50% to meta ….
Species diversity and vertical distribution of the deep-sea copepods …
2010年12月1日 · The present study examines the vertical distribution of copepods of the family Augaptilidae in the Sulu and Celebes Seas, with particular reference to the patterns of species diversity of the genus Euaugaptilus and the effect of warm mesopelagic water in the Sulu Sea on the vertical patterns of congeneric copepods.
The deep-sea copepod fauna of the Southern Ocean: patterns …
An examination is made of species distribution and diversity, in relation to the latitudinal cline seen in many benthic groups, and the historical perspective offered by changing circulation patterns and sea temperature through geological time.
Molecular taxonomy confirms morphological classification of deep-sea …
2010年10月10日 · Dirivultid copepods are among the most successful organisms at deep-sea hydrothermal vents, as this family includes 50 morphologically described species. We studied COI diversity of some species in various geographical areas and vent fluid regimes, in order to gain a better understanding of true species diversity, dispersal strategies, and ...
The parasitic copepod, Sarcotretes scopeli Jungersen, 1911
3 天之前 · The mesopelagic fish Benthosema glaciale [Actinopterygii: Myctophiformes: Myctophidae], abundant in open ocean and deep fjords, is targeted for future exploitation despite existing knowledge gaps on population vital rates. Among these gaps, the vulnerability to pathogens is poorly understood. Parasites rely on the metabolic energy of their host and infections might compromise host physiology ...
