Chinese researchers have studied squat lobsters in four seamounts around ocean trenches in the tropical West Pacific and identified 11 new species.
The squat lobster species exist in great number of diversity in seamount environments, while the fauna around the seamounts of the Yap Trench and Mariana Trench remains largely unknown.
Between 2014 and 2019, the researchers from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences collected a large number of squat lobster samples when conducting multiple seamount ecological surveys around the waters of the Yap Trench and the Mariana Trench. They found 26 species, with 11 new species ranging from 5 to 20 millimeters in length, according to the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society.

New Delhi:
After staying hidden from the human eye for three centuries, scientists have uncloaked new species of elusive ocean sunfish, that could weigh up to two tonnes.
Marianne Nyegaard from Murdoch University in Australia who led the research uncovered the new species while researching the population genetics of ocean sunfish in the Indo-pacific region.
The previously undescribed species has been named the Hoodwinker Sunfish (Mola tecta).
In 2018, a new species of centipede graced the pages of the prominent taxonomy journal
Zootaxa. More than 14 centimeters long, with striking teal-colored legs, it lives in the montane and mossy forests of the Philippines. Now, however, the centipede is in a harsh spotlight. The Philippine government says the Spanish neurologist and amateur biologist who described the species acquired his specimens illegally.
Neither the journal’s editors nor its peer reviewers caught the lapse and the journal has no policy requiring documentation that specimens have been collected with proper permits. Some editors tell
Science that should change. Others worry about hampering research when undescribed species are vanishing fast. And all agree that journals would struggle to enforce any such rules, given the wide variation in countries’ legal requirements. “There is simply no way for a journal to police this,” says Maarten Christenhusz, an independent botanist and editor-in-chief of the
New research has revealed details of early mammal life in the Isle of Skye which dates back to the Middle Jurassic period. X-ray scanning of two complete skulls of small mouse-like mammals, which are estimated to be around 166 million years old, has revealed a species utterly new to science: Borealestes cuillinesis. They are part of the collections of National Museums Scotland, and are described in a new paper published in The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society. Lead author of the study, Dr Elsa Panciroli, an associate researcher at National Museums Scotland and research fellow at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, said: “These two skulls may be tiny in size, but their significance is huge.
