OsedaxmitogenomeSouthwest Indian RidgeEast PacificOsedaxrubiplumus(Annelida, Siboglinidae)uses heterotrophic bacteria to feed onvertebrate carcasses and is currently found in the Pacific, Antarctic and Indian Ocean.Here, we report its nearly complete mitochondrial genomes assembled for 2 individuals, one...
Additionally, a targeted gene amplification approach from worms specifically infected by symbiont Rs1 (both O. rubiplumus and O. frankpressi, was performed for two methyl- accepting chemotaxis genes (mcp3, mcp4), the histidine protein kinase cheA gene, the methyl- transferase cheR gene, and ...
rubiplumus (1820鈥 2893 m) and O. frankpressi (2893 m), were found below the oxygen minimum zone. One of the new species appears to be a late successional species that attacks sediment-covered bone fragments at the 2893-m whale-fall. The other new species occur at the shallower whale...

Osedax rubiplumus, on theother hand, has much larger oocytes and so may havegreater dispersal potential than these other Osedax species.The high fecundity and apparently continuous reproductionof Osedax boneworms permits the opportunistic exploita-tion of sunken vertebrate bones.IntroductionThough only ...
Osedax rubiplumus was previously only reported in both the eastern and western North Pacific and Antarctic oceans. Our finding extends its range to the Indian Ocean, representing a much wider distribution of O. rubiplumus than previously expected. Moreover, all individuals of O. rubiplumus from...

Osedax rubiplumus were sampled from submerged whalebones located at 1820-m and 2893-m depths in Monterey Bay, California. Immature females typically did not host males, but mature females maintained male 'harems' that grew exponentially in the number of males as female size increased. Allozyme ...
