Evidence from morphological and genetic data confirms that Colossendeis tenera Hilton, 1943 (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida), does not belong to the Colossendeis megalonyx Hoek, 1881 complex. Organisms Diversity and Evolution, 2013 (Ref: 14981)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Within the Pycnogonida, genetic studies have … revealed that Colossendeis megalonyx Hoek (Challenger … Report, Zoology, 3(X), 1–167, 1881), consists of a complex of … several cryptic or overlooked species.

Biodiversity and biogeography of Southern Ocean pycnogonids. Ecography, 2011 (Ref: 14983)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The pycnogonids of the Southern Ocean have been studied for almost two centuries and have played a key role in shaping previous biogeographic regions for the Antarctic benthos.

The mitochondrial genome of Colossendeis megalonyx supports a basal position of Colossendeidae within the Pycnogonida. Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2011 (Ref: 14982)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We present the almost complete (16,007 bp) mitochondrial genome of a Colossendeis megalonyx specimen from the Southern Ocean and discuss gene order and tRNA structure in a comparative phylogenetic context.

New species of Australian Pseudopallene (Pycnogonida: Callipallenidae) based on live colouration, morphology and DNA. Zootaxa, 2013 (Ref: 14980)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Callipallenid sea spiders are commonly found in southern Australian waters. The genera Pseudopallene and Stylopallene are frequent epibionts of arborescent bryozoan colonies of Orthoscuticella spp. and Amathia spp. Based on external morphology, colouration patterns…

Genetic diversity of Nymphon (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida: Nymphonidae) along the Antarctic Peninsula with a focus on Nymphon australe Hodgson 1902 Marine Biology, 2008 (Ref: 13741)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Sea spiders are conspicuous, and often abundant, members of the Antarctic benthic community. Nymphonidae (Pycnogonida) in Southern Ocean waters … comprise over 240 species which are often diYcult to … assign due to their intraspeciWc ‘highly variable’ morphology. In particular, Nymphon australe…

Oxygen hypothesis of polar gigantism not supported by performance of Antarctic pycnogonids in hypoxia Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 (Ref: 13740)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Compared to temperate and tropical relatives, some high-latitude marine species are large-bodied, a phenomenon known as polar gigantism. A leading hypothesis on the physiological basis of gigantism … posits that, in polar water…
