Abundance horizontal distribution of Oncaea (= Triconia) conifera: non-random spatial structure.
Samples collected with a Longhurst-Hardy Plankton Recorder (LHPR) in the northern Sargasso Sea (34°10'N; 71°35'W) at three depth stata.

Nota: The pattern reveal that dominant variations occurred on scales of tens to hundreds of meters. The fluctuations in abundance are evident on different scales simultaneously.
After the authors, the abundance of species was not significantly nor consistently correlated to either temperature or alinity on the scales resolved by the tows, thus the LHPR data indicate that the physical environment or depth changes along the horizontal tows, was not, in general, a direct causative factor for the patterns observed.

Oncaea conifera (= Triconia conifera) from Wyville Thomson Ridge (60°03.4' N, 07°03.9' W to 60°08' N, 07°02.9' W) on 24 April 1978: Vertical distribution.
Members of this group (Group 1) were restricted, for the most part, to Norwegian Sea Deep water at depths below 530 m in temperatures of 0-4.8°C.
This group contained 7 calanoids and 1 cyclopoid, plus 2 chaetognaths and 1 euphausid. The 2 most abundant species were S. abyssalis and Oncaea (= Triconia) conifera which together contributed over 75% of the specimen taken in the group. Their distributions showing peak abundance between 530 m and the bottom of the haul (580 m).
Euphausia norvegica euphhausid was attached to this group at a lower level of similarity (19%).
A computed coefficient of dissimilarity was used in association with a 'group-average' clustering strategy (see Clifford & Stephenson, 1975) to classify the plankton taxa on the basis of their vertical distribution after the indices of similarity and the results arranged diagramatically in the form of a dendogram (Fig.2). Classification was carried out using the Bray-Curtis measure which gives a coefficient of dissimilarity.

According Böttger-Schnack (1999, p.59) a doubt subsits concerning the identification of Mazzocchi & al. (1995).
The geographic distribution is not guaranteed without the reference from Böttger-Schnack, 1999 .
According to Wi & al. (2010, p.683) the morphological characteristics of T. conifera from Korean waters agree in almost every respect with the descriptions of the species from the mediterranean Sea and the Southwest Pacific as reported by Giesbrecht (1893 [''1892"]) and Heron & Bradford-Grieve (1995). The only notable difference was found in the proportional length of the spine on the 2nd exopodal segment of P3, which reaches as far as the insertion point of the proximal spine of the 3rd exopodal segment, while in the re-description of T. conifera from the Gulf of Naples (mediterranean Sea) by Heron & Bradford-Grieve (1995), the spine is described as being shorter, not reaching the insertion point of the proximal spine on P3 exp-3. In the identification key of oncaeid species constructed by heron & Bradford-Grieve, this character is used to differentiate T. conifera from the closely related T. quadrata. In the original description by Giesbrecht, a detailed description of the exopod of P3 is lacking. To relieve this lack about the proportional spine length of the exopod of P3 in T. conifera, an undissected female specimen from the western mediterranean Sea was re-examined. In this specimen the spine on P3 exp-2, in light of this variability being more similar to the feature described for Koran specimens than to those reported by Heron & Bradford-Grieve. Thus, the usefulness of this character to differentiate T. conifera from closely related species is doubted, in particular as no sufficient information about the intraspecific variation of proportional spine lengths in T. conifera is available.

After Ehrhardt (1967, p.888, 893) the species is found in the southwest Tyrrhenian Sea in water salinity between 37.42-37.92 p.1000.
For Böttger-Schnack & Schnack (2013, p.10) the distribution pattern reported for the well-known species Triconia conifera (Giesbrecht, 1891; Razouls & al.2014) actually represents a subgroup of 13 closely related species, each with a different distribution pattern, e.g. T. antarctica(Heron, 1977) or T. derivata (Heron & Bradford-Grieve, 1995; Razouls & al., 2014). It is urgently recommended to use a genus, group- or subgroup-name in cases where species identification remains uncertain. Presenting uncertain species name will lead, and has already led, to erroneous information about zoogeographic distribution patterns.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 5 corresponding to small sac-spawning detritivorous.
