bioRxivAlthough the adult pentaradial body plan of echinoderms evolved from a bilateral ancestor, identifying axial homologies between the morphologically divergent echinoderms and their bilaterian relatives has been an enduring problem in zoology.

On the fauna of Corallina officinalis L. in western Norway [PDF]
, 1969 Three localities south of Bergen, one sheltered, one semi-exposed, and one very exposed, were chosen. Samples of Corallina were obtained at various times of the year from the intertidal and sub tidal zones at the two more exposed localities.

Effects of Catecholamines and Purines on Luminescence in the Brittlestar Amphipholis Squamata (Echinodermata) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2000 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.

Isolation and identification of bacterial endosymbionts in the brooding brittle star Amphipholis squamata [PDF]
, 2016 Symbiotic associations with subcuticular bacteria (SCB) have been identified and studied in numerous echinoderms, including the SCB of the brooding brittle star, Amphipholis squamata.

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.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.

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.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.

Phylogeography of New Zealand’s coastal benthos [PDF]
, 2009 During the past 30 years, 42 molecular studies have been undertaken in New Zealand to examine the phylogeography of coastal benthic invertebrates and plants. Here, we identify generalities and/or patterns that have emerged from this research and consider

Concordance and drivers of marine spatial structure determined using genogeographic clustering
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 10, Page 2034-2046, October 2024.Abstract Aim In order to provide a more comprehensive, community‐level understanding of marine gene flow and connectivity, we wished to first identify geographic regions of common spatial genetic divergence across multiple species along a southern temperate coastline, and then to determine which biological and ecological factors best explain the ...
