Our study emphasizes the use of geometric morphometrics to tackle unresolved relationships within major clades and improve the visualization of morphological changes. We recovered two main lineages phylogenetically defined here as Bolivarini and Pampaini (new clade names).

One of the goliaths of the deep - a giant amphipod (Cystisoma sp). We get these fairly regular in the deeper tows. The entire head of these amphipod is comprised of giant eyes. Trawled from the Gulf of Mexico, August 2016.

Incredible - today more true than ever.
