It is suggested that the initiation of the global thermohaline circulation provided a mechanism for the radiation of Southern Ocean fauna into the deep sea and acted as an evolutionary driver enabling the Southern Ocean to become a centre of origin for deep‐sea fauna.

It is hypothesized that internal waves concentrate suspended sediment at high concentrations at the foot of the vertical wall, possibly explaining the large size and high density of filter-feeding molluscs in the Whittard Canyon.
What can the mitochondrial genome reveal about higher-level phylogeny of the molluscan class Cephalopoda?

The first analysis of cephalopod mitochondrial gene order is presented and phylogenies based on gene order using Bayesian, distance, and parsimony analysis methods are constructed.

Although much knowledge has been gained over the past 20 years, deeper-level relationships are still not well understood and there is still much scope for further research in this field.
Persistent genetic signatures of historic climatic events in an Antarctic octopus

It is found that, unusually for a species with poor dispersal potential, P. turqueti has a circumpolar distribution and is also found off the islands of South Georgia and Shag Rocks, and the overriding pattern of spatial genetic structure can be explained by hydrographic and bathymetric features.
