Introduction
Descripción
Sumario:The authors are grateful to Dr. Naoji Yubuki and Dr. Niels Van Steenkiste for their help during the sampling, extraction of kinorhynchs and guidance with the molecular work. We are also indebted to Dr. Jon Norenburg, curator at the Smithsonian National museum of Natural History, and the staff at the Smithsonian Museum Support Center in Suitland, MD, for sending the type specimens of E. kozloffi on loan for examination. Dr. Hiroshi Yamasaki is acknowledged to facilitate COI sequences of E. ohtsukai from Japan for comparison with our data (accession numbers LC096964 and LC096965) plus several topotypes for morphological comparison. We wish to thank the staff at the Bioimaging Facility at UBC for their kind help and the staff at Hakai institute especially to Wayne Jacobs and the Coastal Sand Ecosystems project members. This work was supported by a grant to BSL from the Tula foundation’s Centre for Microbial Diversity and Evolution.
