Twenty-two species of benthic hydroids, belonging to ten families and 14 genera, were found in a hydroid collection obtained
in the Balleny Islands during the BioRoss expedition with the NIWA research vessel Tangaroa in 2004. Twenty of those species constitute new records for the Balleny Islands, raising the total number of known species
in the area to 25. Most are members of the subclass Leptothecata, although the subclass Anthoathecata is also relatively well
represented. Kirchenpaueriidae and Sertulariidae constitute families with the greatest numbers of species in the collection,
with five species (20%) each. Oswaldella with five species (20%) and Staurotheca with four (16%), were the most diverse genera. Twelve species (63%) are endemic to Antarctic waters, most of them with a
circum-Antarctic distribution, and 17 (89%) are restricted to Antarctic or Antarctic/sub-Antarctic waters. Although the Balleny
Islands hydroid fauna seems to be a typical Antarctic assemblage, it has some striking peculiarities, namely the absence or
low representation of some typical and widespread Antarctic genera (Antarctoscyphus and Schizotricha/Symplectoscyphus, respectively). 相似文献

Twenty-three species of benthic hydroids, belonging to eight families and 13 genera, were found in a hydroid collection from
Peter I Island, collected during both the Bentart 2003 and Bentart 2006 Spanish expeditions with BIO Hespérides in 2003 and 2006. Fourteen out of the 23 species constitute new records for Peter I Island, raising the total number of known
species in the area to 30, as also do seven out of the 13 genera. The majority of the species are members of the subclass
Leptothecata; the subclass Anthoathecata being scarcely represented. Sertulariidae is the family with the greatest number
of species in the collection, with eight species (35%), followed by Lafoeidae with five (22%). Symplectoscyphus with four species (17%) and both Antarctoscyphus and Halecium with three (13%), including H. frigidum sp. nov., were the most diverse genera. Twenty species (ca. 77%) are endemic to Antarctic waters, either with a circum-Antarctic
(11 species, ca. 42%) or West Antarctic (9 species, ca. 35%) distribution. Twenty-four (ca. 92%) are restricted to Antarctic
or Antarctic/sub-Antarctic waters; only two species have a wider distribution. Peter I Island hydroid fauna is composed of
typical representatives of the Antarctic benthic hydroid fauna, though it is characterized by the low representation of some
of the most diverse and widespread Antarctic genera (Schizotricha and Staurotheca). 相似文献

Although Bouvet Island is of considerable importance for Southern Ocean species conservation, information on the marine community
species inventory and trophic functioning is scarce. Our combined study of stable isotopes and feeding relationships shows
that (1) the marine system conforms to the trophic pattern described for other Antarctic systems within the Antarctic circumpolar
current (ACC); (2) both the benthic and the pelagic subsystem are almost exclusively linked via suspended particulate organic
matter (SPOM); and (3) there is no evidence of a subsystem driven by macroalgae. Bouvet Island can therefore be characterized
as a benthic “oasis” within a self-sustaining open ocean pelagic system. 相似文献

A total of 36 species of benthic hydroids, belonging to nine families and 16 genera, were found in the hydroid collection
gathered during the Brazilian Antarctic expeditions PROANTAR III and IV. Seven of the species were identified only to generic
level. There is a clear dominance of the subclass Leptothecatae with 33 species. By far the most diversified family was the
Sertulariidae, with 16 species (44%). Symplectoscyphus with eight species, including Symplectoscyphus magnificus sp. nov., is the most diversified genus. Almost 70% of the species diversity is restricted to just six genera (38%). Sixty-eight
percent of the species is Antarctic endemics and 86% is restricted to Antarctic or Antarctic/sub-Antarctic waters. Eudendrium antarcticum and Amphisbetia operculata are recorded for the first time from Antarctic waters. 相似文献

How rich is the deep-sea Antarctic benthic hydroid fauna? 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
The bathymetric distribution of the 155 known species of Antarctic benthic hydroids has been studied with the aim of determining bathymetric groups and estimating the richness of the deep-sea Antarctic benthic hydroid fauna. Six bathymetric groups could be recognized on the basis of vertical zonation patterns. Most species have wide bathymetric ranges, but must nevertheless be considered shelf species. Although 62 species of benthic hydroids have been found in the Antarctic deep-sea, only 10 are strict inhabitants of that area. An inverse relative dominance between anthoathecate and leptothecate hydroids has been observed, with the former being more frequent in shallow waters. 相似文献

The Bellingshausen Sea constitutes the third largest sea in the Southern Ocean, though it is widely recognized as one of the
less-studied Antarctic areas. To reduce this lack of knowledge, a survey to study the biodiversity of its marine benthic communities
was carried out during the Bentart 2003 and Bentart 2006 Spanish Antarctic expeditions. The study of the hydroid collection has provided 27 species, belonging to ten families and
15 genera. Twenty-one out of the 27 species constitute new records for the Bellingshausen Sea, raising the total number of
known species to 37, as also do nine out of the 15 genera. Candelabrum penola, Lafoea annulata, and Staurotheca juncea are recorded for the second time. Most species belong to Leptothecata. Sertulariidae with 13 species (48%) is by far the
most speciose family, and Symplectoscyphus with seven species (26%), including S. bellingshauseni sp. nov. and S. hesperides sp. nov., the most diverse genus. Considering the whole benthic hydroid fauna of the Bellingshausen Sea, 18 species (69%)
are endemic to Antarctic waters, either with a circum-Antarctic (12 species, 46%) or West Antarctic (6 species, 23%) distribution,
23 (88%) are restricted to Antarctic or Antarctic/sub-Antarctic waters, and only three species have a wider distribution.
Bellingshausen Sea hydroid fauna is composed of a relatively high diversity of typical representatives of the Antarctic benthic
hydroid fauna, though with a surprisingly low representation of some of the most diverse and widespread Antarctic genera (Oswaldella and Schizotricha), what could be related to the fact that its shelf-inhabiting hydroid fauna remains practically unknown. 相似文献

A genus and species of Antarctic benthic hydroids new to science, Mixoscyphus antarcticus gen. nov., sp. nov., is described and figured. Its systematic position amongst allied genera of the family Sertulariidae
is discussed. The studied material originates from the South Shetland Islands area (West Antarctica), which was collected
by several Spanish and US Antarctic expeditions. Mixoscyphus gen. nov. currently represents the only complete endemic genus of Antarctic benthic hydrozoans. A discussion of other genera
of benthic hydroids that are largely endemic to the Antarctic is also provided. 相似文献

Mega-epibenthic diversity was analysed using a seabed photography at four stations off Bouvet Island and one station at the
Spiess Seamount in the South Atlantic. Surprisingly, the intermediate-scale diversity within the area of investigation was
not lower compared to that on the Patagonian shelf and only moderately lower than that on the Antarctic continental shelf.
This result is incompatible with Mac Arthur and Wilson’s Island Biogeography Theory describing species richness as a function
of immigration of new species into an area and its extension. The relatively high species number and the very small extension
of the Bouvet shelf compared to the much larger continental shelves of the other two areas can be explained by long-range
dispersal of marine benthic animals in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and high habitat heterogeneity. The observed uncoupling
of intermediate-scale from large-scale background species diversity on the Antarctic shelf raises the question whether in
these benthic systems an upper capacity limit for diversity exists. 相似文献

Bouvet (Bouvetøya) is a geologically young and very remote island just south of the Polar Front. Here we report samples taken during the RV “Polarstern" cruise ANTXXI/2 on 3 days in November 2003 and January 2004. This work was part of SCAR’s EASIZ programme and intended, by providing data on the marine fauna of this “white gap" in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, to contribute to identifying the role of Bouvet in the faunal exchange between the Sub- and high Antarctic. While this goal demands extensive molecular analysis of the material sampled (future work), a checklist of the samples and data at hand widens the faunal and environmental inventory substantially. We suggest some preliminary conclusions on the relationship of Bouvet Island’s fauna with that of other regions, such as Magellanic South America, the Antarctic Peninsula, and the high Antarctic Weddell Sea, which have been sampled previously. There seem to be different connections for individual higher taxa rather than a generally valid consistent picture. 相似文献

As a contribution towards identification of the principal environmental factors involved in cadmium accumulation in Antarctic
marine organisms and the establishment of a baseline near the Italian Antarctic Station “Baia Terra Nova”, surface sediments,
plankton and benthic organisms were studied in coastal waters of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea). The cadmium content of sediments
was similar to that regarded as background in most marine coastal areas, whereas in surface water, phyto- and zooplankton
it was similar to values measured in areas of enhanced upwelling. Algal and animal taxa dominating benthic associations had
a higher cadmium content than related species from other seas. Very high concentrations of the metal were found in sponges
(10–80 μg/g dw) and in the digestive gland of molluscs (up to 345 μg/g in Neobuccinum eatoni). The rapid regeneration of cadmium and its natural occurrence and bioavailability in highly productive coastal waters seem
to be responsible for cadmium accumulation in the tissues of marine organisms near the “Baia Terra Nova” station.

The radiation of notothenioid fishes (Perciformes) in Antarctic waters was likely the result of an absence of competition
in the isolated Antarctic waters and key traits such as the production of antifreeze glycoprotein and buoyancy modifications.
Although notothenioids lack a swim bladder, the buoyancy of Antarctic species, ranging from neutrally buoyant to relatively
heavy, corresponds to diverse life styles. The buoyancy of South American notothenioids has not been studied. Static buoyancy
was measured in adult notothenioids (n = 263, from six species of the sub-order Notothenioidei, families Bovichtidae, Eleginopidae, Nototheniidae, and Harpagiferidae)
from the Beagle Channel. Measurements were expressed as percentage buoyancy (%B). Buoyancy ranged from 3.88 to 6.96% (median,
4.0–6.7%), and therefore, all species could be considered benthic consistent with previous studies that found that neutral
buoyancy in notothenioids is rare. Harpagifer bispinis, Patagonotothen cornucola, and Cottoperca gobio were significantly less buoyant than Paranotothenia magellanica. The buoyancy values of most species were concordant with known habitat preferences. These data, especially the data of C. gobio (sister lineage of all other nototehnioids) and E. maclovinus (sister lineage of the Antarctic clade of notothenioids), could be useful for understanding the diversification of this feature
during the notothenioid radiation. 相似文献

A total of 61 species of hydroids, belonging to 13 families and 23 genera, were found during the Spanish Antarctic expedition
Bentart 95 with the RV Hespérides. Ten of the species were identified only to generic level. The dominance of the subclass Leptothecatae, with 57 species,
was remarkable. The remaining four species belong to the subclass Anthoathecatae. By far the most diverse family was the Sertulariidae,
with 25 species (41%), followed by Haleciidae with nine species (15%) and Kirchenpaueriidae with six (10%). The family Plumulariidae,
represented by one species of Nemertesia, is recorded for the first time from Antarctic waters. Eudendrium scotti, Perarella clavata and Symplectoscyphus hero are each recorded for the second time. Symplectoscyphus with 11 species was the dominant genus. Almost 60% of the species diversity is concentrated in just a little more than the
20% of genera. Nearly 70% of the species are endemic to Antarctic waters and 90% of them are restricted to Antarctic or Antarctic/sub-Antarctic
waters. 相似文献

Atyloella tribinicuspidata sp. n. was obtained and described from Agassiz trawl and dredging samples carried out in waters off Bouvet Island during
the FS “Polarstern” ANT XXI/2 expedition in November 2003. Atyloella tribinicuspidata is a very common amphipod species characteristic of the deeper sublittoral, from 122 m to 134 m water depth. Atyloella tribinicuspidata is closely related to A. magellanicus Stebbing 1888, from the Magellan region of southernmost America. This allowed suggesting a speciation process within the
genus, which is briefly discussed. 相似文献

Stomach contents were identified from 206 Antarctic starry skate (Amblyraja georgiana) that were collected during three groundfish surveys (September 2007, April 2008 and January 2009) at South Georgia, Southern
Ocean. The diet of A. georgiana varied with skate size and between years. Preferred prey included fish (particularly for larger individuals) and Antarctic
krill, Euphausia superba, as well as amphipods, polychaetes and other benthic fauna. The skate A. georgiana appears to be an opportunistic predator, and the clear presence of Antarctic krill in this demersal predator’s diet may indicate
a benthic habit of this euphausiid species, which has hitherto mainly been considered as occupying a purely pelagic niche. 相似文献

Tritoniid sea slugs (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Opisthobranchia) are reported for the first time from Bouvet Island. Tritonia dantarti sp. n. shows morphological and anatomical differences with regard to the two previously known tritoniids reported from Antarctica
and Sub-Antarctica, Tritonia vorax (Odhner 1926) and Tritonia challengeriana Bergh, 1884. Regarding the external morphology, T. dantarti sp. n. is characterized by a very bright orange coloration in the dorsum, white dorsal crests, highly ramified dendritic
gills (the largest vertically orientated and the rest laterally orientated), and a quadrangular cross section. The radula
presents very long, thin lateral teeth and the jaws present mainly unicuspidate, striated denticles. The seminal receptacle
is large, pear-shaped and its grey pigmentation differs from the rest of the genital system. The Antarctic species T. challengeriana was also found in waters off Bouvet Island, while the Subantarctic species T. vorax was not found. 相似文献

Four species of lithodid crabs from waters (240–2,005 m) in the Crozet and Kerguelen Islands area were studied. One new species, Neolithodes duhameli, is described. Three other species, N. capensis Stebbing, Paralomis anamerae Macpherson and P. birsteini Macpherson are reported for the first time from these localities. The new species, N. duhameli (620–1,500 m), is the fourth representative of the genus in Subantarctic waters and belongs to the group of species possessing a carapace, chelipeds and walking legs covered with numerous spinules or spiniform granules in addition to spines. However, the new species is distinguishable from others in the genus by the long, strong spines on the carapace and pereiopods. The finding of two species of Paralomis clearly extends their geographic ranges in the Southern Ocean: P. anamerae was previously known only in waters of the Falkland Islands and the circumpolar distribution of P. birsteini is supported. The observation of N. capensis also extends its previously described range from South Africa, in the Cape region, to Subantarctic waters. As a result of this study, 14 species of the family Lithodidae are now known from Antarctic and Subantarctic waters; and most can be considered endemic to these waters. 相似文献

Dispersal via pelagic larval stages plays a key role in population connectivity of many marine species. The degree of connectivity is often correlated with the time that larvae spend in the water column. The Antarctic notothenioid fishes develop through an unusually long pelagic larval phase often exceeding 1 year. Notothenioids thus represent a prime model system for studying the influence of prolonged larval phases on population structure in otherwise demersal species. Here, we compare the population genetic structure and demographic history of two sub‐Antarctic crocodile icefish species (Chaenocephalus aceratus and Champsocephalus gunnari) from the Scotia Arc and Bouvet Island in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean to delineate the relative importance of species‐specific, oceanographic and paleoclimatic factors to gene flow. Based on 7 (C. aceratus) and 8 (C. gunnari) microsatellites, as well as two mitochondrial DNA markers (cytochrome b, D‐loop), we detect pronounced population genetic structure in both species (amova FSTs range from 0.04 to 0.53). High genetic similarities were found concordantly in the populations sampled at the Southern Scotia Arc between Elephant Island and South Orkney Islands, whereas the populations from Bouvet Island, which is located far to the east of the Scotia Arc, are substantially differentiated from those of the Scotia Arc region. Nonetheless, haplotype genealogies and Bayesian cluster analyses suggest occasional gene flow over thousands of kilometres. Higher divergences between populations of C. gunnari as compared to C. aceratus are probably caused by lower dispersal capabilities and demographic effects. Bayesian skyline plots reveal population size reductions during past glacial events in both species with an estimated onset of population expansions about 25 000 years ago. 相似文献

Bouvet Island is, uniquely, thousands of km from the next nearest land, even other islands. Its Southern Ocean location, isolation
and the exposure of its surrounding cliffs have resulted in only rare visits by ship and its coastal marine fauna is little
known. For animal taxa with non-pelagic larvae, such as cheilostome bryozoans, the shelf environment of Bouvet is a rare example
of isolated oceanic communities. Agassiz trawl samples of the 2003 ANT XXI-2 cruise of the PFS Polarstern collected a total
of 18 species of cheilostomes at four sites around Bouvet Island. Of these only four had been reported before amongst the
20 species of cheilostome previously known from this locality. Furthermore eight of the genera are reported for the first
time from Bouvet Island. The assemblages were dominated by Austroflustra vulgaris, and in one case Nematoflustra flagellata. The bryozoan fauna seems to be depauperate and bears only low (32% at species and 46% at genus level) similarity to any
location within 3,000 km. Its species composition is typically Southern Ocean, with most affinity to the Scotia Arc and Weddell
Sea whereas at generic level it is most similar to the Subantarctic Prince Edward Archipelago. 相似文献

Although scientific knowledge about the biodiversity of Antarctic benthic hydrozoans has considerably increased in recent years, little is known about their spatial distribution and underpinning factors. Trying to contribute to filling this gap, benthic hydroid spatial distribution in the Bellingshausen Sea (Southern Ocean) was studied. Samples were collected at 32 stations at depths between 86 and 3,304 m during Spanish Antarctic expeditions in 2003 and 2006. Sediments and bottom water properties were analyzed using an USNEL-type box corer and a Neil Brown Instrument System Mark III CTD, respectively. Forty species were reported (Acryptolaria sp., Stegopoma plicatile, Staurotheca dichotoma having the highest percentages of occurrence), representing ca. 19 % of the species richness of the known benthic hydroid fauna of the Southern Ocean. Three well-defined assemblages (shallow, deep and transitional) were established based on significant differences in species occurrence. Benthic hydroid spatial distribution in the Bellingshausen Sea seems to be controlled mainly by depth and substrate (most hydrozoan species are epibiotic), by species dispersal abilities and by species resilience to changing hydrodynamic conditions. The level of species richness found in the present study, compared with other Antarctic areas, gives support to arguments stated by authors against the idea that the Bellingshausen Sea is “a benthos desert” controlled by oligotrophic conditions and intense iceberg traffic. 相似文献
