摘要
The genus Danielopolina is reported from an isolated seamount, Christmas Island, Indian Ocean, where it is known, for the first time, in sympatry with a Procaridid Type of anchialine community. We explain the significance of the juxtaposition in this geographical and geological context and explore the role of active and passive dispersal in the colonization of remote seamount islands.
