AMERICANALMANAC (Charles McAdams) - Researchers identify 57 new marine species from South Atlantic deep-sea samples

Scientists identified 57 new marine species and five new genera from South Atlantic deep-sea samples in just two weeks, a collaborative push researchers say accelerates taxonomy. A two-week International Species Discovery Workshop pulled together 20 taxonomists and early-career researchers from Latin America and Europe to examine deep-sea biological samples from the South Atlantic Ocean, and […] The post Researchers identify 57 new marine species from South Atlantic deep-sea samples appeared first on American Almanac .

Scientists identified 57 new marine species and five new genera from South Atlantic deep-sea samples in just two weeks, a collaborative push researchers say accelerates taxonomy. A two-week International Species Discovery Workshop pulled together 20 taxonomists and early-career researchers from Latin America and Europe to examine deep-sea biological samples from the South Atlantic Ocean, and the haul was striking: 57 species new to science and five new genera. FOX Weather reported the workshop was led by the Nippon Foundation-Nekton Ocean Census in partnership with the Schmidt Ocean Institute, with scientists in Argentina at the center of the work. The finds were logged directly onto Ocean Census NOVA, described as the world’s first…Open
