“…Undella clevei was also found in transition zone waters such as the Tsushima Strait ( Kim et al, 2012 ), Transect 140°E, 30–35°N ( Gómez, 2007 ), and the California Current ( Dolan et al, 2013a ). However, its occurrence was also reported in the Mediterranean Sea ( Dolan, 2017 ; Njire et al, 2019 ), the western tropical Pacific ( Kieu et al, 2017 ; Li et al, 2018 ), the central equatorial Pacific ( Gómez, 2007 ), and the South Pacific ( Dolan et al, 2006 ). Therefore, although we classified U. clevei as a transition zone species, it might be a widespread warm water species.…”

“…D. ganymedes and S. steenstrupii are well-known warm water species in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans ( Dolan et al, 2013b ). A. minor was found in coastal ( Jyothibabu et al, 2008 ; Saab et al, 2012 ; Li et al, 2016b , 2019 ; Jung et al, 2017 ) and warm oceanic waters ( Ota and Taniguchi, 2003 ; Kim et al, 2012 ; Li et al, 2018 ). E. pacificus occurs in warm waters ( Kim et al, 2012 ; Li et al, 2016a , 2018 ), continental shelf waters ( Li et al, 2016b ; Yu et al, 2016 ), and the region of the Kuroshio and Oyashio Currents ( Gómez, 2007 ).…”

Located from 35° to 45° latitude in both hemispheres, the transition zone is an important region with respect to the planktonic biogeography of the sea. However, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports on the existence of a tintinnid community in the transition zone. In this research, tintinnids along two transects across the North Pacific Transition Zone (NPTZ) were investigated in summer 2016 and 2019. Eighty-three oceanic tintinnid species were identified, 41 of which were defined as common oceanic species. The common oceanic species were further divided into five groups: boreal, warm water type I, warm water type II, transition zone, and cosmopolitan species. Undella californiensis and Undella clevei were transition zone species. Other species, such as Amphorides minor, Dadayiella ganymedes, Dictyocysta mitra, Eutintinnus pacificus, Eutintinnus tubulosus, Protorhabdonella simplex, and Steenstrupiella steenstrupii, were the most abundant in the NPTZ but spread over a much larger distribution region. Species richness showed no obvious increase in the NPTZ. Boreal, transition zone, and warm water communities were divided along the two transects. Tintinnid transition zone community mainly distributed in regions with water temperatures between 15 and 20°C. The tintinnid lorica oral diameter size classes were dominated by the 24–28 μm size class in three communities, but the dominance decreased from 66.26% in the boreal community to 48.85% in the transition zone community and then to 22.72% in the warm water community. Our research confirmed the existence of tintinnid transition zone species and community. The abrupt disappearance of warm water type I species below 15°C suggested that this group could be used as an indicator of the northern boundary of the NPTZ.

The taxonomic status and species diversity of the brown algal genus Padina (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) was assessed based on DNA sequences and the morpho‐anatomy of specimens collected worldwide, especially from tropical and subtropical western Pacific regions. Phylogenetic analyses using chloroplast rbcL and mitochondrial cox3 gene sequences demonstrated four distinct clades for newly collected samples with high bootstrap support. Each species clade possesses a suite of morphological features that are not shared by any known species of Padina. These are P. imbricata sp. nov., Padina lutea sp. nov., P. moffittianoides sp. nov., and P. nitida sp. nov. The occurrence of these and other species of Padina clearly points to an elevated diversity of the genus in tropical/subtropical waters of the western Pacific. Phylogenetic analyses provided new insights into biogeographic characteristics of the genus, with many species in the Pacific Ocean showing shared/overlapping distributions, whereas species from the Mediterranean/Atlantic and/or the Indian Ocean tend to be confined to particular regions. Consideration has also been given to the evolutionary time frame of the genus Padina based on molecular time trees: a time tree of the concatenated data set (rbcL + cox3) revealed the estimated divergence time in the mid‐Cretaceous, whereas those of cox3 and rbcL showed older estimates pointing to the periods of mid‐Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, respectively.

“…For this reason, Acta Oceanologica Sinica (AOS) organize this special issue of the marine taxonomy and new records, to help on covering as many marine new species and records done by Chinese taxonomists as possible. We report a series of new species and records from Chinese coastlines, offshores, high seas and the adjacent West Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean, including marine cyanobacteria (Zhang et al, 2018c), dinoflagellates (Hu et al, 2018;Xiao et al, 2018), Haptophyta (Zhang et al, 2018d), diatoms (Li et al, 2018a, green alga (Ding et al, 2018), foraminifera (Lei and Li, 2018;Sun, 2018a), ostracods (Du et al, 2018b), ciliates (Chen and Xu, 2018;Sun, 2018b), trichodinids (Zhan et al, 2018), jellyfish (Aungtonya et al, 2018;Du et al, 2018a;Guo et al, 2018b;Wang et al, 2018b), polychaeta (Lin et al, 2018;Sui and Li, 2018;Sun et al, 2018b;Wang and Li, 2018;Wu andXu, 2018), nematodes (Fu et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2018a;Huang et al, 2018;Shi et al, 2018;Sun et al, 2018a) al., 2018b), isopoda (Belattmania et al, 2018), copepods (Liu et al, 2018;Ma andLi, 2018), chiton (Wang et al, 2018c), shrimps (Gan and Li, 2018), Gastropoda (Chen and Zhang, 2018), microzooplankton (Li et al, 2018b), and mesozooplankton (Wang et al, 2018a). This is the first special issue on marine taxonomy in AOS, we hope it can receive more public attention and encouragement on marine taxonomic studies in China.…”
