A new species of the cheilostome bryozoan Chiastosella in the Southern Ocean, past and present

Abstract

13Understanding whether marine calcifying organisms may acclimatize to climate change is 14 important with regard to their survival over the coming century. Because cold waters have a 15 naturally higher CO 2 uptake,the Southern Ocean provides an opportunity to study the

New and little-known bryozoans from Monte León Formation (early Miocene, Argentina) and their paleobiogeographic relationships

“…Recent taxonomic advances in this group of invertebrates and the use of SEM to study them allow the recognition of vicariant species in cases previously believed to be disjunct distributions. Such is the case of Chiastosella ettorina , recently described from the Burwood Bank (Ragazzola et al, 2014) and previously considered conspecific with C . watersi from New Zealand (see Hayward, 1980).…”
