| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study attempted to reveal phylogeography of deep-sea chemosynthetic fauna distributed in Indo-western Pacific regions, to identify the range of gene flow of local lineages of deep-sea chemosynthetic fauna, furthermore, to determine the geological event which split the original lineage, to increase biodiversity in deep ocean. DNA barcoding analysis revealed that morphological variability of deep-sea chemosynthetic fauna, and taxonomy and morphological keys of barnacles of subfamily Neolepadinae was revised. The molecular phylogeographic analyses showed that the lineages in Indian Ocean was migrated from southern Pacific through Southern Ocean, and genetically diversified locally by formation of Circum-Antarctic Current, rather than geological events such as formation of Sunda Arc or collision of Indian Plate. The present study provided a new calibration date for phylogenetic analyses based on current formation.
