Benthimermithid nematode parasites of the amphipod Hirondellea dubia in the Kermadec Trench

Parasitic nematodes have evolved to exploit a wide variety of hosts living in a range of marine environments. Benthimermithid nematodes occur deeper than any other nematode parasites (down to 5880 m depth) but are mostly known from free-living adult stages living in the sediments, and parasitic juveniles are seldom encountered. In the present study, the benthimermithid Trophomera cf. marionensis was discovered in the body cavity of the lysianassoid amphipod Hirondellea dubia sampled between…

It is highly likely that the reason why so few parasites are currently known from deep-sea vents, even given the low diversity of hosts in this ecosystem, is that their inconspicuous nature has caused them to be overlooked by vent biologists.
Extreme food webs: Foraging strategies and diets of scavenging amphipods from the ocean’s deepest 5 kilometers
- Environmental Science

Isotopic data suggest that coexisting species partition the dietary items, providing evidence of competition among members of the scavenging guild, and the extreme foraging flexibility of scavenging amphipod species may ultimately contribute to their success in severely foodlimited hadal ecosystems.
