Abstract:

The rare endemic brittle star Amphicutis stygobita (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea: Amphilepididae) is found in Bernier Cave on San Salvador Island in The Bahamas. We report here on the diatom-rich detritus on which the brittle star feeds. The detritus contains a microbial biofilm dominated by a large diatom Campylodiscus neofastuosus Ruck & Nakov that thrives in the cave’s brackish water. The biofilm diatoms and bacteria produce sticky, carbohydrate-rich, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that add to the detritus’ nutritional value and help give the detritus a consistency for A. stygob

Abstract:

Amphicutis stygobita Pomory, Carpenter & Winter, 2011 was the world’s first known cave brittle star. It has been found only in two anchialine caves: Bernier Cave (type locality and current study area) and Lighthouse Cave on San Salvador Island, The Bahamas. Bernier Cave’s low salinity (14–28 ppt) reduces ionic precipitation in A. stygobita’s endoskeleton to produce fewer and lighter ossicles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed details of internal skeletal structures including elongated arm segment ossicles with greatly reduced density and increased fenestration. The large ceiling

Abstract:

Amphicutis stygobita is a new genus and new species of ophiuroid found in Bernier Cave, an anchialine cave on San Salvador Island, Bahamas. The species is small (disk diameter 3–4 mm) with short arms (2–2.5X disk diameter). Dorsal disk features include imbricated scales, and oval radial shields separated by a column of scales. Ventral disk features include imbricated scales, genital scales flat and thin, no bursal sacs, second tentacle pore of oral frame outside mouth slit, oral shields small ovals similar in appearance to disk scales, two to three oral papillae per jaw side with the proximal
