Some amazing new pictures were released this week from the final cruise of the ECOMAR program, focused around the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.  Researchers reported a distinct set of fauna on the East and West sides of this tectonic divide (despite these sites being located only a few miles apart), and recovered <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2010/07/revealing-life-at-the-ridge/">Revealing life at the Ridge</a></span>]]></description>

Each year the International Institute for Species Exploration announces a list of the Top 10 New Species for the preceding calendar year. Of the top 10 for 2009 are two deep-sea species. The Financial Times also list there top five deep-sea species.  Very cool even if all of them are vertebrates.

This is a new species of Bathyacmaea (Mollusca, Gastropoda,  Patellogastropoda, Acmaeidae) currently under description by a japanese colleague. I have found hundreds of these  individuals in my quantitative collections of chemoautotrophic communities at the Lau Basin hydrothermal vent fields. They reminded me of the Patella limpet I learned about in my undergrad inverts class.

What is the origin story of deep-sea organisms? For decades, we thought shallow coastal waters were the cradle of marine life repeatedly pumping species into the deep.  This is the simplest story.  The more complex origin story involves multiple anoxic events, catastrophic events, survival of the fittest, so on and so forth with species originating onshore <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://deepseanews.com/2010/02/reconsidering-the-origins-of-marine-life-and-all-life/">Reconsidering the Origins of Marine Life and All Life</a></span>]]></description>
