| Abstract |
Antropora commandorica sp. nov. is described from the Commander Islands (Bering Sea). This species is unique within the bryozoan genus Antropora in its sub-Arctic distribution; all other known species are distributed in tropical and sub-tropical waters. This species is also most often found as an epibiont of gastropod shells, some with an associated pagurid crab. Whilst this is not unknown in other species of the genus Antropora, A. commandorica appears to use these substrata almost exclusively |
