Morphological evidence of depth-related speciation in deep-sea Arctic echinoderms

Abstract: Three eurybathic cosmopolitan genera of echinoderms, the holothurians Elpidia, the stalked crinoids Bathycrinus and the echinoids Pourtalesia, are widely distributed in the deep Arctic Ocean. The genera Echinus and Gracilechinus occur in the Arctic only in the near-Atlantic sector of the basin. In all the five genera, there is a pronounced difference in morphology between specimens occurring at different depths. It is suggested that these differences reflect the depth-related speciation that took place followi… Show more

“…Morphological data suggest dispersal of Elpidia through the North Atlantic into the Arctic Ocean (Belyaev, 1975;Gebruk, 1990). Cladistic analysis, based on morphological characters, supports this hypothesis and indicates the Arctic emergence with formation of the most shallow-water species in the family, Elpidia glacialis, occurring at depths from 70 to 610 m (Rogacheva, 2007;Budaeva, Rogacheva, 2013;Rogacheva et al, 2013).…”

“…It is known from the west Barents Sea southward to the Angola coast and the Walvis Ridge at depths 20 2635 m. This species (and the genus as a whole) is known from the Arctic abyssal (2198 m) only from single occurrence in the Norwegian Sea. Both the genus and the species are of the North Atlantic shelf origin (Tyler, Young, 1998;Mironov, 2006;Minin, 2012;Rogacheva et al, 2013). Recent molecular studies support this scenario (Minin et al, 2012;Minin, pers.…”

“…This low figure contrasts with the ~ 3000 recruits found on panels in the present study. B. carpenterii is a pan‐Arctic bathyal species (Rogacheva et al ), with most adult individuals living on pebbles or shells buried in the soft sediment (Soltwedel et al ) and living 10–15 yr (Duco and Roux ). The reasons why these taxa so abundantly colonize new substrata but are not present on older, natural hard‐bottom habitats are unclear.…”
