The smaller vesicomyid bivalves in the genus Isorropodon (Bivalvia, Vesicomyida...
Rodrigues, Clara F.; Cunha, Marina R.; Olu, Karine; Duperron, SébastienSpecies of Isorropodon are vesicomyid bivalves for which little information is available regarding host phylogeny and bacterial symbioses. In this study we investigated the symbioses in three Isorropodon species from three cold seep areas: Isorropodon bigoti (Gulf of Guinea), Isorropodon megadesmus (Gulf of Cadiz) and Isorropodon perplexum (Eastern Mediterranean). Analysis of bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene se...
Chemosymbiotic bivalves from the mud volcanoes of the Gulf of Cadiz, NE Atlanti...
Oliver, Graham; Rodrigues, Clara F.; Cunha, Marina R.The chemosymbiotic bivalves collected from the mud volcanoes of the Gulf of Cadiz are reviewed. Of the thirteen species closely associated with chemosynthetic settings two Solemyidae, Solemya (Petrasma) elarraichensis sp. n. and Acharax gadirae sp. n., one Lucinidae, Lucinoma asapheus sp. n., and one Vesicomyidae, Isorropodon megadesmus sp. n. are described and compared to close relatives of their respective fa...
First documented record of a living solemyid bivalve in a pockmark of the Nile ...
Rodrigues, Clara F.; Duperron, Sébastien; Gaudron, Sylvie M.A living specimen of a solemyid bivalve was collected at bathyal depths near a pockmark in the Nile Deep-sea Fan (eastern Mediterranean) and is here presented. Both taxonomic and molecular results suggest a Solemya species but due to the small size of the animal and the lack of molecular data for other solemyid species the species cannot be determined. This is the first record of a living solemyid from deep-sea...
Deep-sea ophiuroids (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea: Ophiurida) from the Gulf of Ca...
Rodrigues, Clara F.; Paterson, Gordon L. J.; Cabrinovic, Andrew; Cunha, Marina R.The Ophiuroidea collected from mud volcanoes and adjacent bathyal environments from the Gulf of Cadiz are reviewed. Thirteen species from six families—Ophiacanthidae, Ophiactidae, Amphiuridae, Amphilepididae, Ophiuridae and Ophiolepididae— were identified. A direct relationship to the chemosynthetic assemblages has not been established as the ophiuroids found in the mud volcanoes do not appear to have novel mor...
