As one of the oldest branches of biology, taxonomy deals with the identification,
classification and naming of living organisms, using a variety of tools to explore traits at the …

Taxonomic species are the best standardised metric of biodiversity. Therefore, there is broad
scientific and public interest in how many species have already been named and how many …

Correct identification of species is required to assess and understand the biodiversity of an
ecosystem. In the deep sea, however, this is only possible to a limited extent, as a large part …

With increasing pressure to extract minerals from the deep-sea bed, understanding the
ecological and evolutionary processes that limit the spatial distribution of species is critical to …

Three species of asellote isopods (Crustacea) were found in hydrothermal vent biotopes on
the submarine Piip Volcano, Bering Sea, at the depth of 373–472 m. Collection was …

Research focusing on 'stout-bodied'typhlotanaids collected from several sites around
Iceland and adjacent N Atlantic region has resulted in the description of 15 species new to …

The waters around Iceland, bounding the Northern North Atlantic and the Nordic seas, are a
region characterized by complex hydrography and seabed topography. This and the …

Although crustal trenches of the hadal zone, a global feature of the deep ocean floor, have
been known geologically for decades, the biological connections between hadal trenches …

Four species of paramunnids (Isopoda: Asellota) were found on the Koryak slope in the
Bering Sea during 82-nd cruise of the R/V Akademik MA Lavrentyev with a remotely …

The spatial patterns of taxonomic diversity of annelid polychaete species from the
continental shelf in the Southern Gulf of Mexico were examined in this study. We used …
