Effects of Catecholamines and Purines on Luminescence in the Brittlestar Amphipholis Squamata (Echinodermata) [PDF]
ABSTRACT The effects of catecholamines (dopamine, adrenaline, noradrenaline and its derivatives), 5-hydroxytryptamine and purines (adenosine, ATP and their derivatives) on the acetylcholine-induced luminescence of isolated arms and dissociated photocytes of the luminescent ophiuroid Amphipholis squamata were tested.

Identification of Fine‐Scale Marine Benthic Ecoclines by Multiple Parallel Ordination
The species‐environment relationship is a fundamental structural property of natural ecosystems. Marine sedimentary macrofauna is known to be structured by a range of environmental variables; however, the mechanisms by which environmental variables covary to form complex‐gradients (i.e., groups of intercorrelated environmental variables), and how these

Amphipholis misera (Koehler, 1899) Material examined. Twelve specimens; St. DW6, SW24; 0–15.2 m deep; sand and rock, sand/seagrass. Remarks. The specimens were very small in size. According to the key of A. M. Clark & Rowe (1971: 99), this species can be distinguished from Amphipholis squamata (Delle Chiaje, 1828) which is one of the most widely and ...

Ecosystem monitoring is essential for preventing biodiversity loss, and in the Mar Menor lagoon (SE Spain), where intensive agriculture has led to eutrophication and mass mortality of marine fauna, it is critical for assessing the status of flora and fauna and informing conservation actions.

Description of a Novel Symbiotic Bacterium from the Brittle Star, Amphipholis squamata [PDF]
A gram-negative, marine, facultatively anaerobic bacterial isolate designated strain AS-1 was isolated from the subcuticular space of the brittle star, Amphipholis squamata. Its sensitivity to O/129 and novobiocin, overall morphology, and biochemical characteristics and the moles percent guanine-plus-cytosine ...

This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of superficial water samples to assess benthic invertebrate biodiversity in the Venice Lagoon. Sampling from surface water revealed 80 taxonomic units, mostly benthic species, including several invasive ones, with significant spatial and seasonal variations in community composition.
