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...

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...

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 ...

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...
