@ARTICLE{TreeBASE2Ref18611, author = {Helena Wiklund and Adrian G Glover and Thomas G Dahlgren}, title = {Three new species of Ophryotrocha (Annelida; Dorvilleidae) from a whale-fall in the North East Atlantic}, year = {2009}, keywords = {}, doi = {}, url = {}, pmid = {}, journal = {Zootaxa}, volume = {2228}, number = {}, pages = {43--56}, abstract = {Three new Ophryotrocha species are described from sites with high levels of organic carbon flux including a whale-fall at 125 m depth off the Swedish coast and sediment sampled at 104 m depth beneath a fish farm in a Norwegian fjord. Phylogenetic analyses based on the nuclear gene H3 and the mitochondrial genes COI and 16S using MrBayes and Maximum Likelihood analyses show that Ophryotrocha eutrophila sp. nov. is a close relative to Ophryotrocha puerilis, while Ophryotrocha craigsmithi sp. nov. falls together with Palpiphitime lobifera, and Ophryotrocha scutellus sp. nov. occur within the 'hartmanni' clade. The genus Ophryotrocha is in our study monophyletic only if the genera Iphitime and Palpiphitime are included. Two representatives of Ophryotrocha previously described from antropogenically enriched sediments are here reported for the first time in very high abundance from a natural habitat. We suggest that whale falls are important habitats for the evolution of ecosystem services such as degrading of complex organocarbon compounds.} }
