    Contrasting processes drive ophiuroid phylodiversity across shallow and deep seafloors

    Our knowledge of the distribution and evolution of deep-sea life is limited, impeding our ability to identify priority areas for conservation1. Here we analyse large integrated phylogenomic and distributional dat...

    The first record of Ophioleila elegans (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from a deep-sea seamount in the Northwest Pacific Ocean

    The rare ophiuroid species, Ophioleila elegans, was collected by the submersible Jiaolong from 1 660 m depth on the Caiwei Guyot located in the Magellan Seamount Chain in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. This is the ...

    Deep-sea diversity patterns are shaped by energy availability

    Depth-dependent patterns in ocean species diversity can be explained by latitudinal variations in energy availability, with shelf and upper-slope diversity increasing with thermal energy availability, and deep...

    Biogeographical and phylogeographical relationships of the bathyal ophiuroid fauna of the Macquarie Ridge, Southern Ocean

    There are relatively few studies examining the latitudinal distribution of polar, subantarctic and temperate faunas on the bathyal seafloor across the Southern Ocean. Here, we investigate the relationship betw...
