생물다양성

An international team of scientists has started the EuroWorm project to create an open-access genomic database of European marine annelids, aiming to discover species before they vanish. Led by the Leibniz Institute for Biodiversity Change Analysis, the initiative focuses on these vital segmented worms that support ocean ecosystems. The effort combines museum collections with modern genomics to accelerate global biodiversity research.

Researchers have discovered 24 previously unknown species of deep-sea amphipods in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone of the central Pacific Ocean, including an entirely new superfamily. The findings, detailed in a ZooKeys special issue published on March 24, highlight previously unknown branches of life in one of Earth's least explored ecosystems. The work advances efforts to catalog biodiversity amid growing interest in deep-sea mining.

Researchers have discovered thriving communities of tiny soil-dwelling nematodes in the Atacama Desert, one of the world's driest places. An international team led by the University of Cologne found that biodiversity increases with moisture and altitude, with many species reproducing asexually in extreme zones. The findings, published in Nature Communications, highlight the resilience of life in arid environments.
