Abstract

The distribution of Sipuncula and Pogonophora on the continental slope off North and South Carolina suggests a zoogeographical barrier southeast Cape Lookout, North Carolina, around 34°N between 150 and 2500 m for 14 of 27 species found. Similarity coefficients and a group average cluster analysis support the conclusions. This barrier may result from the effects of bottom currents on larval dispersion.
