      Po raz pierwszy od blisko stu lat badacze odkryli nowe gatunki pająków morskich w Morzu Salish. Naukowcy z Uniwersytetu Kolumbii Brytyjskiej zidentyfikowali dwa nowe bezkręgowce: callipallene pilosuspedes oraz tanystylum kiixin. Odkrycie wzbogaca wiedzę o bioróżnorodności u zachodnich wybrzeży Kanady.

      Scientists have identified two new sea spider species in the Salish Sea, nearly 100 years after the last new species was formally described there.
