Scientists have identified several new marine species in a pristine underwater ecosystem recently discovered in international waters -- and they expect to find more. Modern technology that allows ...
It’s a new species. Mountain creature — with ‘yolk-yellow’ groin and armpits — discovered as new species. Cube-shaped creature with 24 eyes discovered hiding in pond in Hong Kong, study says
The new species was identified by its legs, spines, body shape, size and other subtle physical features, the study said. Researchers did not provide a DNA analysis of the new species. The research ...
They live in marine environments and form a phylum containing so far only three described species, of which the first, the classical Trichoplax adhaerens, was discovered in 1883. [227] Two more species have been discovered since 2017, [ 228 ] [ 229 ] and genetic methods indicate this phylum has a further 100 to 200 undescribed species .
[10] [1] About 4,700 new species of marine life were discovered. The scientific work was conducted by Wyville Thomson, John Murray, John Young Buchanan, Henry Nottidge Moseley, and Rudolf von Willemoes-Suhm. Frank Evers Bed was appointed prosector. The official expedition artist was John James Wild. [4]
Marine organisms contribute significantly to the oxygen cycle, and are involved in the regulation of the Earth's climate. [2] Shorelines are in part shaped and protected by marine life, and some marine organisms even help create new land. [3] Many species are economically important to humans, including both finfish and shellfish.
A massive jawbone found by a father-daughter fossil-collecting duo on a beach in Somerset along the English coast belonged to a newfound species that’s likely the largest known marine reptile to ...
1898–1899: First German deep sea expedition on board the ship Valdivia led by Carl Chun; found many new species from depths greater than 4,000 m (13,123 ft) in the southern Atlantic Ocean. 1930: William Beebe and Otis Barton were the first humans to reach the deep sea when diving in the Bathysphere, a spherical steel pressure resistant chamber.
