OverviewThis volume contains contributions of 11 authors from Japan, New Zealand, the USA and Europe on deep-sea corals (one paper), bryozoans (one paper), isopod and decapod crustaceans (six papers) and snake eels (one paper). Altogether, the results present new data on the morphology, systematics and distribution of more than 250 species. One new subfamily, five new genera and 60 new species are described. Of broader biological interest are the descriptions of new biological associations, for example, between hermit crabs and Zoanthidea, and between acrothoraeiean cirripedes and corals. Carrier shells ( Xenophora ) were found to incorporate into their shells species of deep-sea corals that have otherwise never been collected by conventional means, which points out indirectly the still inadequate sampling intensity of the tropical deep-sea benthos. The bryozoan genus Pseudothyracella , previously known as a Paleogene fossil in Europe and North America, is added to the list of living fossils , being represented by a new, living species.
