Understanding the biodiversity and evolutionary history of the amphipod genus Eusirus in the Southern Ocean
The diversity of the Antarctic marine fauna has been shaped by various evolutionary processes (dispersals, diversifications, extinctions), which were greatly influenced by the geological and climatic history of the region. Some Antarctic lineages are descendants of Gondwanan ancestors and arose by v...

The diversity of the Antarctic marine fauna has been shaped by various evolutionary processes (dispersals, diversifications, extinctions), which were greatly influenced by the geological and climatic history of the region. Some Antarctic lineages are descendants of Gondwanan ancestors and arose by vicariance during the progressive breakup of Gondwana, which ultimately led to the complete geographical isolation of the Antarctic continent. The Plio-Pleistocene glacial cycles have been inferred to act as a “diversity pump” on the Antarctic continental shelf. Allopatric speciation of less dispersive organisms could have resulted from the isolation of populations in ice-free refugia during the glacial advances. These glacial cycles were often suggested to have influenced the diversification of numerous complexes of closely related and morphologically very similar Antarctic species. The continuous discovery of such (pseudo-) cryptic species in the Southern Ocean suggests that its biodiversity is currently greatly underestimated. Such species complexes have been found in the amphipod genus Eusirus. In a preliminary phylogeny (COI and 28S) of the whole genus, some Antarctic nominal Eusirus species are composed of genetically distant clades, suggesting putative new species.
