Control region sequences indicate that multiple externae represent multiple infections by Sacculina carcini (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala)
Rees, David John; Glenner, Henrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-29)The rhizocephalan barnacle, Sacculina carcini, is a common parasite of the European shore crab, Carcinus maenas, in which it causes significant detrimental physical and behavioral modifications. In the vast majority of ... -
Diversity, distribution and phylogenetic affinities of deep-sea lithistids (Porifera, Heteroscleromorpha) of the Azores archipelago
Xavier, Joana; Rees, David John; Pereira, Raquel; Colaço, Ana; Pham, Christopher K.; Carvalho, Francisca C. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-28)Lithistid sponges are globally distributed in temperate and sub-tropical areas, constituting an important component of deep-sea benthic communities where they form structurally complex and vulnerable marine ecosystems ... -
First recorded occurrence of the parasitic barnacle (Anelasma squalicola) on a Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) in the Canadian Arctic
Ste-Marie, Eric; Glenner, Henrik; Rees, David John; Hussey, Nigel E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A solitary Anelasma squalicola specimen was collected from the cloaca of a Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus), the first time this association has been recorded. The specimen's identity was confirmed through ... -
Global phylogeography suggests extensive eucosmopolitanism in Mesopelagic Fishes (Maurolicus: Sternoptychidae)
Rees, David John; Poulsen, Jan Yde; Sutton, Tracey T.; Costa, Paulo A C; Landaeta, Mauricio F (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Fishes in the mesopelagic zone (200–1000 m) have recently been highlighted for potential exploitation. Here we assess global phylogeography in Maurolicus, the Pearlsides, an ecologically important group. We obtained new ... -
Mitogenomic sequences and evidence from unique gene rearrangements corroborate evolutionary relationships of myctophiformes (Neoteleostei)
Poulsen, Jan Yde; Byrkjedal, Ingvar; Willassen, Endre; Rees, David John; Takeshima, Hirohiko; Satoh, Takashi P.; Shinohara, Gento; Nishida, Mutsumi; Miya, Masaki (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-06-03)Background: A skewed assemblage of two epi-, meso- and bathypelagic fish families makes up the order Myctophiformes – the blackchins Neoscopelidae and the lanternfishes Myctophidae. The six rare neoscopelids show few ... -
A new molecular phylogeny-based taxonomy of parasitic barnacles (Crustacea: Cirripedia: Rhizocephala)
Høeg, Jens Thorvald; Noever, Christoph; Rees, David John; Crandall, Keith A.; Glenner, Henrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Rhizocephalans are abundant members of marine ecosystems and are important regulators of crustacean host populations. Morphological and ecological variation makes them an attractive system for evolutionary studies of ...
