Deep-Sea Anemones Are Prospective Source of New Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Compounds

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2021
The peculiarities of the survival and adaptation of deep-sea organisms raise interest in the study of their metabolites as promising drugs. In this work, the hemolytic, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and enzyme-inhibitory activities of tentacle extracts from ...

Diverging Food Web Functioning Around Southampton Island, Nunavut: The Influence of Primary Production Supply and Bathymetry

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Southampton Island hosts two distinct benthic sub‐webs, north and south. North is deeper, phytoplankton‐driven; South is shallower, more ice‐algae driven. North benthos: bottom‐up control, four trophic levels including apex predators. South benthos: walrus top‐down control, trophic truncation to three levels.

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

New Species and Phylogeny of Alentiana Hartman, 1942 (Annelida, Polynoidae) Reveal Polyphyly of Lepidastheniinae and Key Morphological Character Evolution

open access: yesJournal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Alentiana, a genus within the subfamily Lepidastheniinae of Polynoidae, is an obligately commensal deep‐sea group exclusively associated with sea anemones. Currently, only two valid species are recognized, with the genus’s species diversity and phylogenetic relationships remaining poorly understood.

Effects of experimental in situ seabed disturbance on deep‐sea macrofaunal communities of Chatham Rise, Southwest Pacific

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1422-1459, December 2025.
ABSTRACT With the possibility of deep‐sea mining of mineral resources occurring, it is necessary to understand potential impacts on benthic communities. Previous simulated mining experiments revealed direct benthic impacts; however, indirect impacts of sedimentation are not well understood.

Biological surveys reveal unexpectedly high faunal diversity at Nankai Trough methane seeps

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Cold seeps are chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems powered by microbial primary production that support diverse and specialized faunal assemblages in the deep sea. Despite Nankai Trough in Japan being a geologically active margin hosting numerous seeps, much of the faunal diversity remains undocumented.

Macrobenthos associated with a population of Anthothoe chilensis (Lesson, 1830) (Cnidaria, Actiniaria) in Mar del Plata Harbor, Argentina

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 1999
Diversity and seasonal variations of 54 macrobenthic taxa associated with a population of the sea anemone Anthothoe chilensis were studied at Mar del Plata harbor, Argentina. Sea anemones and their associated flora and fauna were collected seasonally by
