Comparison of the complete mitochondrial genome of Phyllophorus liuwutiensis (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea: Phyllophoridae) to that of other sea cucumbers. [PDF]
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
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?
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
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.

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

Identification of allopatric clades in the cosmopolitan ophiuroid species complex Amphipholis squamata (Echinodermata). The end of a paradox? [PDF]
Life history traits (absence of larval phase, small size and hermaphroditism) do not predispose Amphipholis squamata to dispersal, yet paradoxically it has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution. Recent phylogenetic analyses of 16S mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA)
