Are organic falls bridging reduced environments in the deep sea?: Results from ...
Cunha, MR; Matos, FL; Génio, L; Hilário, A; Moura, CJ; Ravara, Ascensão; Rodrigues, CFOrganic falls create localised patches of organic enrichment and disturbance where enhanced degradation is mediated by diversified microbial assemblages and specialized fauna. The view of organic falls as “stepping stones” for the colonization of deep-sea reducing environments has been often loosely used, but much remains to be proven concerning their capability to bridge dispersal among such environments.

First record of a Vestimentifera (Polychaeta: Siboglinidae) from chemosynthetic...
Hilário, A; Comas, MC; Azevedo, L; Pinheiro, L; Ivanov, MK; Cunha, MRA new population of vestimentiferan tubeworms was discovered during a recent expedition to a mud volcano field in the Alboran Sea, western Mediterranean Sea. Morphological data and mitochondrial cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequences show that the Alboran tubeworm is essentially identical to Lamellibrachia sp. found in the eastern Mediterranean. This is the first record of a vestimentiferan species in t...
