Abstract

Low-latitude, deep-sea faunas remain poorly understood and described. Here, we systematically describe Quaternary deep-sea ostracodes from the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 925 (Ceara Rise; 4°12.2'N, 43°29.3′W; 3040 m water depth) in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean. Twenty-six genera and 52 species were examined and illustrated with high-resolution scanning electron microscopy images. Six new species are described herein: Pseudocythere spinae, Hemiparacytheridea zarikiani, Pedicythere canis, Xylocythere denticulata, Paracytherois obtusa, and Poseidonamicus sculptus. The results show that deep-sea ostracodes have a tropical faunal element that is distinctive from higher latitude ostracodes, and that is globally distributed in low latitudes. This tropical faunal component is possibly a Tethyan legacy of a fauna that was widely distributed in tropical and extratropical latitudes in deep waters during greenhouse conditions in the Cretaceous and early Cenozoic. Global cooling thereafter shrank its distribution, limiting it to tropical latitudes, perhaps with the relatively warm uppermost bathyal area acting as the source or refuge of this faunal component. Because similar present-day biogeographic patterns (i.e., presence and wide distribution of tropical deep-sea fauna) are known in other deep-sea benthic groups, this scenario might be applicable to the deep-sea benthos more broadly.

Introduction

Large scale biogeographic patterns in deep-sea benthic fauna remain poorly understood (O'Hara et al., Reference O'Hara, Rowden and Bax2011; Watling et al., Reference Watling, Guinotte, Clark and Smith2013; Ingels et al., Reference Ingels, Amon, Bernardino, Bhadury, Bik, Clark, Dahlgren, Jones, McClain, Nunnally, Snelgrove, Tuhumwire and Yasuhara2021; Levin et al., Reference Levin, Auster, Clark, Hall-Spencer, Hopcroft, Ingels, Metaxas, Narayanaswamy, Tuhumwire and Yasuhara2021). One of the major unresolved questions is whether there is a distinct tropical fauna in the deep sea, or at least latitudinal zonation at low latitudes. Some studies showed clear zonation and the presence of a tropical fauna at bathyal depths (Zezina, Reference Zezina1997; O'Hara et al., Reference O'Hara, Rowden and Bax2011), whereas others did not (UNESCO, 2009; Watling et al., Reference Watling, Guinotte, Clark and Smith2013). There tends to be agreement that deeper, abyssal faunas are more homogeneous and lack clear latitudinal zonation (Zezina, Reference Zezina1997; UNESCO, 2009; O'Hara et al., Reference O'Hara, Rowden and Bax2011; Watling et al., Reference Watling, Guinotte, Clark and Smith2013). However, definition of the bathyal-abyssal boundary varies among studies (3500 m in UNESCO, 2009 and Watling et al., Reference Watling, Guinotte, Clark and Smith2013; 3000 m in Zezina, Reference Zezina1997; 2000 m in O'Hara et al., Reference O'Hara, Rowden and Bax2011). In addition, these studies exclusively analyze macrobenthos, megabenthos, and oceanographic parameters, and do not include any meiobenthic information.

A latitudinal diversity gradient is present in the deep sea, with higher diversity at lower latitudes (Culver and Buzas, Reference Culver and Buzas2000; Rex et al., Reference Rex, Stuart and Coyne2000; Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Hunt, Cronin and Okahashi2009b, Reference Yasuhara, Hunt, van Dijken, Arrigo, Cronin and Wollenburg2012; Jöst et al., Reference Jöst, Yasuhara, Wei, Okahashi, Ostmann, Martínez Arbizu, Mamo, Svavarsson and Brix2019). Bottom temperature and particulate organic carbon flux, the major food source for deep-sea benthos, are commonly used to explain large-scale deep-sea diversity patterns in space and time (Rex and Etter, Reference Rex and Etter2010; Tittensor et al., Reference Tittensor, Rex, Stuart, McClain and Smith2011; Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Okahashi, Cronin, Rasmussen and Hunt2014b, Reference Yasuhara, Huang, Hull, Rillo, Condamine, Tittensor, Kučera, Costello, Finnegan, O'Dea, Hong, Bonebrake, McKenzie, Doi, Wei, Kubota and Saupe2020; Yasuhara and Danovaro, Reference Yasuhara and Danovaro2016; Jöst et al., Reference Jöst, Yasuhara, Wei, Okahashi, Ostmann, Martínez Arbizu, Mamo, Svavarsson and Brix2019; Wei et al., Reference Wei, Chen, Wicksten and Rowe2020), but neither of them shows substantial change at the transition between the tropics and subtropics, nor do they show clear latitudinal trends in low–mid latitudes (O'Hara et al., Reference O'Hara, Rowden and Bax2011; Sweetman et al., Reference Sweetman, Thurber, Smith, Levin, Mora, Wei, Gooday, Jones, Rex, Ingels, Ruhl, Frieder, Danovaro, Würzberg, Baco, Grupe, Pasulka, Meyer, Dunlop, Henry and Roberts2017). Thus, to better understand high biodiversity in the deep sea, it is important to better understand the identity and affinities of tropical deep-sea faunas.

Ostracoda (Crustacea) is a major group of deep-sea meiobenthos (Yasuhara and Cronin, Reference Yasuhara and Cronin2008). They have reasonably good taxonomy, especially in the North Atlantic Ocean (Whatley and Coles, Reference Whatley and Coles1987; Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Okahashi and Cronin2009c; Yasuhara and Okahashi, Reference Yasuhara and Okahashi2014, Reference Yasuhara and Okahashi2015), and their small size and calcitic shells mean that they are well preserved in sediments as fossils (Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Tittensor, Hillebrand and Worm2017). Thus, they are useful to better understand deep-sea biogeography in the present as well as the past (Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Hunt and Okahashi2019), and can give an insight into the above questions about the nature of the tropical deep-sea fauna from a meiofaunal perspective.

Here, we systematically describe Quaternary deep-sea ostracodes from the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 925, equatorial Atlantic Ocean, and show that this site has tropical ostracode faunal elements that are distinctive from higher latitude faunas, but in common with the tropical ostracodes in distant oceans. We suggest that this globally similar tropical deep-sea fauna may be a Tethyan legacy—the remainder of what was, during warmer climate intervals in the past, a more widely distributed fauna.

Materials and methods

Detailed information for the specimens used for the present study is shown in Appendix 1. All specimens are from the late Quaternary sediments of ODP Site 925 (Ceara Rise, western equatorial Atlantic; 4°12.2′N, 43°29.3′W; 3040 m water depth; Fig. 1), covering the last ca. 500 ka. Further details on samples, methods, chronology, paleoceanographical setting, and ostracode species diversity patterns are found in Yasuhara et al. (Reference Yasuhara, Hunt, Cronin and Okahashi2009b). Uncoated specimens were digitally imaged with a Philips XL-30 environmental scanning electron microscope (SEM) (at the Scanning Electron Microscope Lab, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution) and a Hitachi S-3400N Variable Pressure SEM (at the Electron Microscope Unit, University of Hong Kong) in low-vacuum mode. High-resolution figures of ostracode SEM images (Figs. 2–13, 15–17) are available at Dryad (http://datadryad.org/; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.ns1rn8psq). For higher classification, we mainly referred to Whatley et al. (Reference Whatley, Siveter, Boomer and Benton1993), Horne et al. (Reference Horne, Cohen, Martens, Holmes and Chivas2002), and the World Ostracoda Database (Brandão and Karanovic, Reference Brandão and Karanovic2019).

Reference Zhao and Zheng1996: Aratrocypris sp. Zhao and Zheng, pl. 1, fig. 15.

Remarks

Our specimens are identical to the specimen shown as Aratrocypris sp. in Whatley et al. (Reference Whatley, Ayress, Downing, Harlow and Kesler1985, pl. 2, fig. 16) from the Pleistocene southwestern Pacific. Although Aratrocypris sp. of Whatley et al. (Reference Whatley, Ayress, Downing, Harlow and Kesler1985) was described later as Aratrocypris maddocksae Whatley, Witte, and Coles, Reference Whatley, Witte and Coles1989, this Pleistocene southwestern Pacific specimen differs from the type specimens from the Paleogene North Atlantic Ocean in outline (the former has a narrower and more rounded posterior margin). Our specimens are also very similar to Aratrocypris gigantea Whatley et al., Reference Whatley, Witte and Coles1989 (type locality and horizon: tropical North Atlantic, Recent) and their outlines are identical each other. The only differences are: (1) our specimens are much smaller, and (2) the plough-like anteroventral structure is denticulate in Aratrocypris gigantea. It is likely that our specimens (as well as the Pleistocene southwestern Pacific specimen of Aratrocypris sp.) are juveniles of Aratrocypris gigantea. Given this considerable uncertainty, however, we prefer to call our specimens Aratrocypris sp. 1.

Holotype

Not designated. The type locality is off Norway, Norwegian Sea, Recent.

Remarks

Specimens resembling this juvenile have been identified as Propontocypris trigonella or its affinity in the North Atlantic Ocean (Whatley and Coles, Reference Whatley and Coles1987; Didié and Bauch, Reference Didié and Bauch2000; Alvarez Zarikian, Reference Alvarez Zarikian2009). But it is not clear if they are conspecific. We tentatively identify this juvenile specimen as Propontocypris trigonella (Sars, Reference Sars1866) in a broad sense.

Diagnosis

A slender species of Pseudocythere with well-developed spine(s) and a slightly concave dorsal margin.

Description

Carapace moderately calcified, small in size, height similar throughout because of parallel dorsal and ventral margins. Outline subrectangular in lateral view; anterior margin rounded in ventral half; caudal process well developed, prominent, upturned, bearing a long spine ventrally; dorsal margin straight in LV and slightly concave in RV; ventral margin slightly rounded, but almost straight. Anterodorsal corner angular and bearing a long spine in RV; posterodorsal corner absent. Lateral surface almost smooth, but with pore conuli scattered, very weak reticulation in anterior margin, and a fine, long ridge along dorsal margin. Inner lamella broad. Hingement adont. Frontal scar subrectangular or I-shaped; adductor muscle scars consisting of vertical row of five elongate scars.

Etymology

From Latin spinae (noun, genitive singular) = spine.

Dimensions

USNM PAL 771658 (ODP925229) (holotype), L = 514 μm, H = 194 μm; USNM PAL 771659 (ODP925228) (paratype), L = 483 μm, H= 199 μm.

Remarks

Pseudocythere spinae n. sp. is similar to Pseudocythere hastata Bonaduce et al., Reference Bonaduce, Masoli, Pugliese and McKenzie1980 in having a long spine at the anterodorsal corner, but distinguished by having a posteroventral spine and straighter dorsal and ventral margins.

Pseudocythere sp. 1
Figure 4.15

Remarks

This species is similar to Pseudoloxoconcha? sp. of Malz and Jellinek (Reference Malz and Jellinek1994), but it is distinguished by weaker development of carinae on the lateral surface (restricted to the posterior one-fifth of the carapace in this species, but broadly developed in posterior half in Pseudoloxoconcha? sp.) and the presence of a flat area along dorsal margin.

Diagnosis

A moderately calcified Hemiparacytheridea species with a subtriangular outline, well-developed caudal process, weakly punctate carapace, and thin ventrolateral ridge while lacking large tubercles.

Description

Carapace moderately calcified, small, highest at anterior cardinal angle. Outline subtriangular in lateral view; anterior margin rounded, weakly rimmed; caudal process well developed and subtriangular, pointed at mid-height; dorsal and ventral margins slightly sinuous. Anterodorsal corner moderately angular in LV, weakly angular in RV; posterodorsal corner almost straight and slightly convex. Lateral surface ornamented with weak punctation in the central part and smooth in the posterior and anterior margins; sizes of puncta increase posteriorly; ventrolateral lateral ridge weakly curved, bearing a spine at its posterior end; normal pores scattered. Internal features as for genus. Hingement typical of genus, lacking posterior terminal tooth in RV.

Etymology

In honor of Carlos A. Alvarez Zarikian, Texas A&M University, for his work on Cenozoic deep-sea ostracodes. He first recognized this species.

Dimensions

USNM PAL 771693 (ODP925044) (holotype), L = 379 μm, H = 209 μm; USNM PAL 771694 (ODP925048) (paratype), L = 375 μm, H= 199 μm.

Paratype

Adult LV, USNM PAL 771713 (ODP925195) (Fig. 9.7, 9.8).

Diagnosis

A small, weakly calcified Pedicythere species with a denticulate dorsal margin, a hand-shaped process at the anterior cardinal angle (of RV), feather-like posteroventral and ventrolateral processes, and an ala with a very well-developed anterior carina.

Description

Carapace thin, small, highest at anterior cardinal angle. Outline subtriangular in lateral view; anterior margin rounded, bearing five spines; caudal process prominent and upturned, bearing a feather-like posteroventral process; dorsal margin denticulate, straight in RV, slightly convex in LV. Alae extending below ventral margin, bearing very well-developed anterior carina; three fine carinae running on and along ala. Anterodorsal corner bearing a hand-shaped process at the anterior cardinal angle; posterodorsal corner absent. Lateral surface smooth, with normal pores scattered. Internal features as for genus.

Etymology

From Latin canis (noun, genitive singular), meaning ‘dog,’ referring to the lateral view that looks like a dog face. Hand-shaped process at the anterior cardinal angle, caudal process, and posteroventral and ventrolateral processes and ala as ear, nose, and beard of a dog, respectively.

Dimensions

USNM PAL 771712 (ODP925199) (holotype), L = 496 μm, H = 210 μm; USNM PAL 771713 (ODP925195) (paratype), L = 477 μm, H= 221 μm.

Remarks

Pedicythere canis n. sp. is distinguished from other Pedicythere species (e.g., Schornikov, Reference Schornikov2005; Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Okahashi and Cronin2009c) by having a hand-shaped process at the anterior cardinal angle, a denticulate dorsal margin, and three fine carinae running on and along the ala. Note that the hand-shaped process of anterior cardinal angle seems to be broken in one of our specimens (Fig. 9.7, 9.8).

Type species

Cythere nigrescens Baird, Reference Baird1838.

Remarks

Following Ayress and Correge (Reference Ayress and Correge1992), we consider Mayburya Coles and Whatley as a junior synonym of Semicytherura Wagner, Reference Wagner1957. Internal views of well-preserved specimens of the type species of Mayburya, i.e., Semicytherura pulchra (Coles and Whatley, Reference Coles and Whatley1989) (Fig. 10.3, 10.5) clearly show typical characters of Semicytherura including very broad inner lamella.

Remarks

The name Semicytherura cornuta (Ciampo, Reference Ciampo1986) is a junior homonym of Semicytherura cornuta (Brady, Reference Brady1868a), and thus cannot be used for this species (Ayress and Correge, Reference Ayress and Correge1992).

Holotype

Adult LV, USNM PAL 771725 (ODP925251) (Fig. 10.12) from the Ceara Rise, western equatorial Atlantic, ODP Site 925C, 1/3/27–29 (ca. 78 ka).

Diagnosis

A species of Xylocythere ornamented with denticulation.

Description

Carapace well calcified, medium in size, highest at anterior cardinal angle. Outline subrectangular-oval in lateral view; anterior margin evenly rounded in ventral half, bearing short spines but straighter and smoother in dorsal half; posterior margin upturned; dorsal margin weakly sinuous and ventral margin almost straight. Anterodorsal and posterodorsal corners angular. Lateral surface ornamented with well-developed primary and secondary reticulation; denticulation on muri; a posteroventoral spine; pore conuli scattered on muri; and a fine ridge running along ventral margin. Anterior marginal rim and sulcus present. Inner lamella broad. Hingement merodont type. Frontal scar divided; adductor muscle scars consisting of vertical row of four elongate scars.

Etymology

From Latin denticulata (adjective, nominative singular, gender feminine), referring to denticulate muri.

Dimensions

USNM PAL 771725 (ODP925251) (holotype), L = 642 μm, H = 350 μm; USNM PAL 771727 (ODP925253) (paratype), L = 655 μm, H = 328 μm.

Remarks

Xylocythere denticulata n. sp. is distinguished from other Xylocythere species by having well-developed denticulation on the lateral surface. This species is similar to Xylocythere sp. of Yasuhara et al. (Reference Yasuhara, Okahashi and Cronin2009c), but is distinguished by its much stronger primary reticulation and denticulation on the lateral surface. Xylocythere is known from wood-fall and chemosynthetic environments (Maddocks and Steineck, Reference Maddocks and Steineck1987; Steineck et al., Reference Steineck, Maddocks, Turner, Coles, Whatley, Whatley and Maybury1990; Tanaka et al., Reference Tanaka, Lelièvre and Yasuhara2019). It is uncertain whether Xylocythere denticulata n. sp. is a Xylocythere species adapted to the normal soft-sediment environment or if the presence of this species suggests a wood-fall environment nearby, especially given low abundance of this species in the studied site.

Diagnosis

Well-calcified species of Poseidonamicus with a dorsal ridge that is developed only in the posterior half and whose dorsal edge is straight or shifts upward towards the posterior; coarsely reticulate with alternating robust and quite reduced vertical muri in the region immediately posterior and ventral to the adductor muscle scars.

Description

Carapace well calcified, medium-large in size, highest at anterior cardinal angle. Outline subrectangular in lateral view. Anterior margin evenly rounded with ~14 denticles; posterior margin slightly pointed, with a maximum extent at about mid-height, bearing several denticles and 1–2 longer spines; well-developed marginal rim on anterior, ventral, and posterior edges. Anterodorsal corner moderately well developed; posterodorsal corner less developed, especially in RV. Lateral surface coarsely reticulate, divided into an anterior field with low and even reticulation and distinctly rounded fossae, and a posterior field with larger, polygonal fossae. Vertical muri generally more strongly developed than horizontal muri in the posterior field, although the vertical muri posterior and ventral to the muscle scars (separating the A and B fossae of Hunt, Reference Hunt2007) are quite reduced, sometimes nearly absent. Prominent ventral ridge that curves gently, terminating in a posterior spine; dorsal ridge mostly straight or shifting upward towards the posterior, well developed only in the posterior half. Inner lamella moderately broad, with a well-developed selvage in RV. Hingement holamphidont, with a stepped anterior tooth and subtly trilobate posterior tooth in RV; medial bar is smooth. Muscle scars typical for the genus: a vertical row of four adductors, the middle two more elongate than the top and bottom; two oval frontal scars, with the ventral one larger than the dorsal.

Etymology

From Latin sculptus (adjective, singular, masculine), carved, referring to the well-defined ridges of the reticulum.

Dimensions

USNM PAL 771757 (ODP925213) (holotype), L = 1073 μm, H = 626 μm; USNM PAL 771758 (ODP925215) (paratype), L = 1088 μm, H= 569 μm.

Remarks

Poseidonamicus sculptus n. sp. is the most commonly encountered species of the genus in the deep North Atlantic Ocean from the Pliocene to Recent. When figured, it usually has been identified as, or compared to, Poseidonamicus pintoi Benson, Reference Benson1972. The two species are similar in that their reticulum generally emphasizes vertical elements, and they both share a dorsal ridge that is well developed only in the posterior. There are, however, also clear differences between these two species. Poseidonamicus pintoi is somewhat smaller, less elongate (Fig. 14), and it has a more even reticulum and markedly narrower anterior marginal rims than Poseidonamicus sculptus n. sp. These features are clear in the figured specimens (Fig. 13.8, 13.9), which are from Benson's type sample for Poseidonamicus pintoi (Albatross station 2763, South Atlantic Ocean, 24.28°S, 42.8°W).

Specimens that we consider to be true Poseidonamicus pintoi have been reported from only a small area off the coast of southeast Brazil in the Campos and Santos basins, from the Pleistocene to Recent (Benson, Reference Benson1972; Bergue and Coimbra, Reference Bergue and Coimbra2008; Bergue et al., Reference Bergue, Coimbra, Pivel, Petró and Mizusakia2017). These occurrences are from samples that range between 1100–1300 m in water depth, considerably shallower than depths for all the published occurrences for Poseidonamicus sculptus n. sp. in the synonymy list above (>2400 m). Some reports of Poseidonamicus pintoi we consider to be neither that species, nor Poseidonamicus scultpus n. sp. (e.g., Whatley et al., Reference Whatley, Moguilevsky, Ramos and Coxill1998b; Zhao, Reference Zhao2005).

Poseidonamicus scultpus n. sp. is also similar in shape to Poseidonamicus riograndensis Benson in Benson and Peypouquet, Reference Benson and Peypouquet1983, and has a similar arrangement of emphasized muri posterior to the central scars, but that species is smaller, and its dorsal ridge is evenly developed and curves downward in the posterior. See also the remarks under Poseidonamicus cf. P. sculptus n. sp.

Remarks

Hunt (Reference Hunt2007) recorded this species from the Pliocene through Recent of the North Atlantic Ocean. It often co-occurs with, but at a lower abundance than, Poseidonamicus sculptus n. sp., with which it is easily confused because of its quite similar size and shape. This species differs from Poseidonamicus sculptus n. sp. in its lower and more even reticulum, in being more prone to secondary reticulation, especially in the anterior field, and in that it bears a large sieve pore in the area antero-dorsal to the muscle scars that is absent in Poseidonamicus sculptus n. sp. (see Hunt, Reference Hunt2007, character 8).

Discussion

We found that ODP Site 925 yielded an ostracode fauna with tropical deep-sea faunal elements that are distinct from higher latitude faunas. The genera Zabythocypris, Aratrocypris, Hemiparacytheridea, Chejudocythere, and deep-sea Semicytherura were found here (note that they are not abundant; see Fig. 18), but they have not been reported from mid to high latitudes of the Atlantic Ocean. These genera are known from Recent and Quaternary sediments in the low-latitude Atlantic (Cronin, Reference Cronin1983; Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Okahashi and Cronin2009c), Pacific (Maddocks, Reference Maddocks1969; Coles et al., Reference Coles, Ayress, Whatley, Whatley and Maybury1990; Corrége, Reference Corrége1993; Ayress et al., Reference Ayress, Whatley, Downing and Millson1995), and Indian oceans (Maddocks, Reference Maddocks1969; Ayress et al., Reference Ayress, Whatley, Downing and Millson1995). O'Hara et al. (Reference O'Hara, Rowden and Bax2011) reported a similar pattern for bathyal ophiuroids in the Pacific, Southern, and Indian oceans around Australia, finding a tropical bathyal fauna that was distinct from that from higher latitudes.

Figure 18.

Pie chart showing the faunal composition of the ODP 925 ostracodes. All samples studied are lumped to calculate relative abundances of genera. Zabythocypris, Aratrocypris, Hemiparacytheridea, Chejudocythere, and Semicytherura are not abundant (<1% in total, among 5008 ostracode specimens that we picked and counted) and not among the top eight genera shown in the pie chart.

We suggest that this global distribution of tropical deep-sea fauna may be a Tethyan legacy. Many of these tropical deep-sea genera (Aratrocypris, Hemiparacytheridea, Chejudocythere, Semicytherura) are known from Cretaceous chalks in western Europe (Whatley et al., Reference Whatley, Witte and Coles1989; Coles et al., Reference Coles, Ayress, Whatley, Whatley and Maybury1990; Ayress and Dorn, Reference Ayress and Dorn2012). This suggests that they were widespread in the Tethys during the warm Cretaceous and Paleogene periods, even as they are limited to the tropics in the deep water of today's oceans.

It is puzzling that a characteristic deep-sea, low-latitude fauna exists even though the deep sea in the tropics does not have distinct environmental conditions from those of the deep sea in higher latitudes. Deep-sea temperature, particulate organic carbon flux, and seasonality do not change much at the tropical-extratropical boundary (O'Hara et al., Reference O'Hara, Rowden and Bax2011; Yasuhara and Danovaro, Reference Yasuhara and Danovaro2016; Sweetman et al., Reference Sweetman, Thurber, Smith, Levin, Mora, Wei, Gooday, Jones, Rex, Ingels, Ruhl, Frieder, Danovaro, Würzberg, Baco, Grupe, Pasulka, Meyer, Dunlop, Henry and Roberts2017). Deep-sea temperature has latitudinal structure, but it is mostly between colder polar and warmer temperate regions, rather than between tropical and temperate regions (Yasuhara and Danovaro, Reference Yasuhara and Danovaro2016). Particulate organic carbon flux from sea-surface production is the major food source of deep-sea benthos, but this carbon flux and its seasonality change depending on the distance from the coast, water depth, and presence of upwelling, rather than latitude (Watling et al., Reference Watling, Guinotte, Clark and Smith2013; Sweetman et al., Reference Sweetman, Thurber, Smith, Levin, Mora, Wei, Gooday, Jones, Rex, Ingels, Ruhl, Frieder, Danovaro, Würzberg, Baco, Grupe, Pasulka, Meyer, Dunlop, Henry and Roberts2017).

According to published fossil occurrences, Tethyan tropical genera were distributed widely, not only in the tropics, but also in mid–high latitudes during the Paleogene (Whatley and Coles, Reference Whatley and Coles1991). As climates cooled over the Cenozoic, however, they progressively disappeared from mid–high latitude regions. For example Chejudocythere, Aratrocypris, and Semicytherura do not occur after the Oligocene in the mid–high latitude North Atlantic, according to the compilation by Whatley and Coles (Reference Whatley and Coles1991), suggesting their distributions contracted to the tropics by the Neogene. They may have persisted in the deep ocean in the tropics because their distributions included the relatively warm waters of the uppermost bathyal zone. Such water depths may have been a refuge for their populations, as has been suggested for other deep-sea organisms (Zezina, Reference Zezina1997; Eme et al., Reference Eme, Anderson, Myers, Roberts and Liggins2020). This is consistent with the deep-sea source-sink hypothesis that suggests that abyssal populations are a demographic sink, with source populations located in shallower bathyal zones (Rex et al., Reference Rex, McClain, Johnson, Etter, Allen, Bouchet and Waren2005). In this sense, bathyal (< ~3000 m) biogeography (Fig. 19) should be more similar to that of the shelf (Spalding et al., Reference Spalding, Fox, Allen, Davidson, Ferdaña, Finlayson, Halpern, Jorge, Lombana, Lourie, Martin, McManus, Molnar, Recchia and Robertson2007; Costello et al., Reference Costello, Tsai, Wong, Cheung, Basher and Chaudhary2017) rather than that of deeper abyssal plain (Fig. 19) (UNESCO, 2009; Watling et al., Reference Watling, Guinotte, Clark and Smith2013), as indicated by O'Hara et al. (Reference O'Hara, Rowden and Bax2011). In fact, a recent study showed that deep-sea latitudinal diversity gradient is unclear in abyssal depths (Woolley et al., Reference Woolley, Tittensor, Dunstan, Guillera-Arroita, Lahoz-Monfort, Wintle, Worm and O'Hara2016). ODP Site 925 is situated in the lower bathyal North Atlantic province (BY4 of Watling et al., Reference Watling, Guinotte, Clark and Smith2013), which is widely distributed in the North Atlantic from the equatorial Atlantic in the south to Cape Cod in the northwestern Atlantic and the Faeroe Islands in the northeast Atlantic to the north (Fig. 19). This biogeographic scheme is largely based on oceanographic proxies because of sparse deep-sea biological data available. It is possible that the BY4 province can be further divided into latitudinal sub-provinces because (some or all of) the tropical deep-sea genera found in ODP Site 925 are not known from the northern part of the BY4 province (Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Okahashi and Cronin2009c; Yasuhara and Okahashi, Reference Yasuhara and Okahashi2014, Reference Yasuhara and Okahashi2015).

The progressive restriction of certain genera to the deep tropics implies that the standard tropical-high and extratropical-low latitudinal diversity gradient (Rex et al., Reference Rex, Stuart and Coyne2000; Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Hunt, Cronin and Okahashi2009b) in the deep sea was less pronounced when these taxa had wider latitudinal ranges in the Paleogene. An increase in the relative diversity of the deep tropics is also seen in the benthic foraminiferal fossil record at ca. 37 Ma and, since then, the standard deep-sea foraminiferal latitudinal diversity gradient has been persistent until today (Thomas and Gooday, Reference Thomas and Gooday1996; Culver and Buzas, Reference Culver and Buzas2000; Yasuhara et al., Reference Yasuhara, Huang, Hull, Rillo, Condamine, Tittensor, Kučera, Costello, Finnegan, O'Dea, Hong, Bonebrake, McKenzie, Doi, Wei, Kubota and Saupe2020).
