Molecular and Physiological Data on Nudibranch Adults and Egg Masses; Pycnogonid Physiology and Morphology

We collected egg masses and adults of 15 lineages of nudibranchs from McMurdo Sound from several sites within a 50-mile radius of McMurdo Station. We collected CO1 and 18S sequence which we deposited in GenBank with a 1-year hold that expires August 2010. Photographs of adults of all taxa and egg masses from six were also taken and will be archived with the online library of the Census of Marine Life Project. Adult specimens of each lineage of nudibranch will be deposited at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.

We also collected 49 specimens of pycnogonids, identified them to species, and deposited them with Claudia Arango at the Queensland Museum in Australia.

研究团队从麦克默多站（McMurdo Station）周边50英里半径范围内的多个采样点，采集了产自麦克默多湾（McMurdo Sound）的15个谱系的裸鳃类（nudibranchs）卵群与成体标本。我们获取了CO1与18S序列，并将其提交至GenBank数据库，设置了为期1年的暂缓公开期，该暂缓期将于2010年8月届满。我们还拍摄了所有类群的成体照片以及其中6个类群的卵群照片，这些照片将归档至海洋生物普查项目（Census of Marine Life Project）的在线文库。所有裸鳃类谱系的成体标本将寄存于洛杉矶县自然历史博物馆（Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County）。

此外，我们采集了49份海蜘蛛（pycnogonids）标本并完成物种鉴定，将其寄存于澳大利亚昆士兰博物馆（Queensland Museum）的克劳迪娅·阿兰戈（Claudia Arango）处。
