Abstract
Our data also provide the first published assessment of polychaete diversity from the Gully Canyon, suggesting the presence of a diverse assemblage (S = 60). Unusually for a deep-sea site, the Gully Canyon polychaetes are mostly known taxa with wider distribution across bathyal NW Atlantic. Additionally, our molecular data provide an interesting insights into the distribution of several polychaete species commonly found in deep-sea (e.g Aurospio dibranchiata Maciolek, 1981; Ophelina abranchiata Støp-Bowitz, 1948) suggesting wide geographical distribution for some but revealing species complexes for others.
