Dear Colleagues

We are happy to advertise a new paper on the polychaetes of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, central Pacific Ocean: 

https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/36193/

The paper includes characterisation (incl DNA and imagery) of 23 species of polychaetes, with formal descriptions of 12 new taxa, and 85 records. We have named our new taxa based on a randomised list of all the crew and scientists on two large oceanographic voyages, to reflect the joint effort in collecting in this remote area.

This is the first in a series of polychaete papers we plan to publish, funding dependent, on the CCZ that we hope will greatly improve the quality of environmental work in the area related to seabed mining exploration. Current plans are that the next paper will be on the Nereidiformia followed by the Spioniformia. If you have ethanol-fixed material from the CCZ and are interested in collaboration, please do get in touch.

Kind regards, 

Adrian Glover

On behalf of all the co-authors, with apologies for any cross-postings.
