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. Aimi...
DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity in marine hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa)...
Moura, CJ; Harris, DJ; Cunha, MR; Rogers, ADFifty-six sequences of the mitochondrial 16S RNA gene were generated for hydroids, belonging to six nominal families - Eudendriidae, Lafoeidae, Haleciidae, Sertulariidae, Plumulariidae and Aglaopheniidae - collected from bathyal environments of the Gulf of Cadiz (22 haplotypes), Greenland (1 haplotype), Azores (1 haplotype), the shallow waters of the UK (17 haplotypes) and Portugal (2 haplotypes). When combined...
Tubiclavoides striatum gen. nov et sp nov (Cnidaria : Hydrozoa) a new bathyal h...
Moura, CJ; Cunha, MR; Schuchert, PTubiclavoides striatum, a new species of an athecate hydroid, was found on mud volcanoes, inactive carbonate clumneys, and cold-water coral stands in the Gulf of Cadiz (south-western Iberian Peninsula, Atlantic Ocean). The new family Tubiclavoididae and the new genus Tubiclavoides are proposed to accommodate the new species. The new hydroid is characterized by scattered filiform tentacles, sporosacs developing ...
