Benthic hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from the Weddell Sea (Antarctica)
2019
Hydrozoans are a conspicuous component of Antarctic benthic communitites. Recent taxonomic effort has led to a substantial increase in knowledge on the diversity of benthic hydroids from some areas of the Southern Ocean, including the Weddell Sea, the largest sea in the Antarctic region. However, the study of many hydrozoan taxa are still pending, and the diversity in this huge region is expected to be higher than currently known. In order to contribute to the knowledge of taxonomy, ecology and distribution of these cnidarians, a study of unpublished material collected by several German Antarctic expeditions aboard the RV Polarstern in the eastern sector of the Weddell Sea has been conducte…
Benthic hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from the Ross Sea (Antarctica) collected by the New Zealand Antarctic expedition BioRoss 2004 with RV Tangaroa
2017
During the New Zealand BioRoss 2004 survey, with RV Tangaroa , sampling of marine communities on the Ross Sea shelf was undertaken. Samples were obtained employing several sampling gears (Van Veen grab, epibenthic sled, rough bottom trawl, and beam trawl). Among the numerous benthic samples obtained, a large and important collection of hydroids was present. Sixty-one species, four of them new to science ( Monocoryne antarctica sp. nov., Halecium tangaroa sp. nov., Staurotheca gracilis sp. nov. and Symplectoscyphus densus sp. nov.) have been recorded. Oswaldella blanconae sp. nov. is also described. “Anthoathecata” are represented by ten species belonging to the families Bougainvilliidae, Ca…
Revision ofHalisiphoniaAllman, 1888 (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa, Hebellidae), with comments on its taxonomic position
2006
The deep‐water genus Halisiphonia is reviewed, based on redescriptions of all available type specimens of its species. The genus includes four valid species, H. arctica, H. galatheae, H. megalotheca, and H. nana, and one species inquirenda, H. spongicola, for which the type could not be located.
