Biodiversity: Something new under the sea
Yan Boucher & W. Ford Doolittle
Abstract
The discovery, in an undersea hot vent, of an organism that does not fit into any previously defined category of life marks the creation of yet another group within the mysterious Archaea.
An exciting new creature has been discovered under the sea off Iceland, and it is described by Huber et al. on page 63 of this issue1. Although invisible to the naked eye, it is as worthy of our notice as any coelacanth or other macroscopic 'living fossil', for three reasons.
- Yan Boucher and W. Ford Doolittle are in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 4H7, Canada.
