DNA analysis reveals two Hirondellea amphipods range farther and deeper than known

Two deep-sea amphipod species have been found to live in both hemispheres and share features, according to a new study that boosts our understanding of the biodiversity and evolutionary processes shaping deep-sea ecosystems. Dr. Paige Maroni and Professor Alan Jamieson, from The University of Western Australia's School of Biological Sciences, were co-authors of the study published in Marine Biology.
