A Generalizable Tool for Predicting Developmental Phenology for Wild Ecotherms

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Custom hatch timing models developed for four North American Lithobates frog species. Models are parameterized from Moore (1939). Panels (A, B) shows differential developmental rates under varying thermal regimes and G × E interactions. ABSTRACT Development in poikilothermic organisms is strongly temperature‐dependent, particularly during early life ...

Integrated Ecological and Molecular Assessment of a Crown-of-Thorns Seastar (Acanthaster planci) Outbreak in the Gulf of Oman (UAE)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns sea stars (CoTS) threaten coral reef integrity and biodiversity, yet local dynamics and short-term responses to control remain insufficiently described.

Evolutionary history and recombination in the mitochondrial carrier SLC25 superfamily analyzed by similarities in the exon and transmembrane α‐helix sequences

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Mitochondrial carriers (MCs), which constitute a superfamily also called the solute carrier family 25 (SLC25), are characterized by conserved signature motif sequences and a six‐transmembrane α‐helical transporter domain. They transport a wide variety of substrates ranging from protons, inorganic ions, citric acid cycle intermediates, and ...

Knowledge gaps in the biology, ecology, and management of the pacific crown-of-thorns sea star, acanthaster sp., on Australia’s great barrier reef

, 2021
Crown-of-thorns sea stars (Acanthaster sp.) are among the most studied coral reef organisms, owing to their propensity to undergo major population irruptions, which contribute to significant coral loss and reef degradation throughout the Indo-Pacific ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

Two Chlorinated Benzofuran Derivatives from the Marine Fungus

Natural Product Communications, 2015
The marine fungus Pseudallescheria boydii was isolated from the inner tissue of the starfish Acanthaster planci . This fungus was cultured in a high salinity glucose-peptone-yeast extract (GPY) medium. Two new chlorinated benzofuran derivatives, 6-chloro-

Non‐Invasive Underwater DNA Sampling Illuminates Red Sea Echinoderm Diversity

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Species‐specific non‐invasive underwater DNA sampling remains largely understudied for marine invertebrates despite its potential to revolutionise biodiversity assessment of vulnerable species or fragile ecosystems. Comprehensive species‐specific DNA barcode databases are essential for accurate species identification and taxonomic assignment ...
