Having cake and eating too: The benefits of an intermediate larval form in a brittle star Amphiodia sp. opaque (Ophiuroidea). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We describe an unusual brittle star larva that represents an intermediate evolutionary stage between feeding and nonfeeding larvae. Larvae of this species are capable of feeding, but can forego food and make a juvenile. Offspring that ate as larvae had shortened development times, higher percent metamorphosis, larger size, and longer juvenile survival ...

Unravelling Hidden Trophic Interactions Among Sea Urchin Juveniles and Macroinvertebrates by DNA Amplification. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.

Comparison of the complete mitochondrial genome of Phyllophorus liuwutiensis (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea: Phyllophoridae) to that of other sea cucumbers. [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, 2020 In this paper, we analyzed the mitochondrial genome of Phyllophorus liuwutiensis. We examined genome composition, base composition, codon usage of protein‐coding genes and gene arrangement. In addition, we compared the gene arrangements of six echinoderms, revealing that the gene order of P. liuwutiensis was a new arrangement.

Genogeographic clustering to identify cross‐species concordance of spatial genetic patterns
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 611-623, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim While in recent years, there have been considerable advances in discerning spatial genetic patterns within species, the task of identifying common patterns across species is still challenging. Approaches using new data from co‐sampled species permit rigorous statistical analysis but are often limited to a small number of species.

How does eDNA decay affect metabarcoding experiments?
Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 108-116, January 2022., 2022 Ecological interpretations of eDNA metabarcoding data require an explicit understanding of eDNA decay across different study systems and species. Here, we used eDNA metabarcoding of water samples to examine eDNA decay in a wide variety of temperate marine metazoan species. We found the most substantial effects of eDNA decay on diversity occurred within

Sensitivity of a cold‐water coral reef to interannual variability in regional oceanography
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 9, Page 1719-1731, September 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim We assessed the effects of regional oceanographic shifts on the macrofaunal biodiversity and biogeography of cold‐water coral reefs (CWCRs). CWCRs are often hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem services and are in the frontline of exposure to multiple human pressures and climate change.
