Antero-posterior patterning in the brittle star Amphipholis squamata and the evolution of echinoderm body plans [PDF]
EvoDevoAlthough 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.

Description of a Novel Symbiotic Bacterium from the Brittle Star, Amphipholis squamata [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1990 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 ...

A member of the Roseobacter clade, Octadecabacter sp., is the dominant symbiont in the brittle star Amphipholis squamata [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2018 Symbiotic associations with subcuticular bacteria (SCB) have been identified and studied in many echinoderms, including the SCB of the brooding brittle star, Amphipholis squamata. Previous studies on the SCB of A. squamata placed the isolated bacterium, designated as AS1, in the genus Vibrio (Gammaproteobacteria), but subsequent studies suggested that ...

Genetic variation in the brooding brittle-star: a global hybrid polyploid complex? [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe widespread and abundant brooding brittle-star (Amphipholis squamata) is a simultaneous hermaphrodite with a complex mitochondrial phylogeography of multiple divergent overlapping mtDNA lineages, high levels of inbreeding or clonality and unusual ...

Localization of S1- and S2-like immunoreactivity in the nervous system of the brittle star Amphipholis squamata (Delle Chiaje 1828). [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 1997 The recent isolation and characterization of the SALMFamide neuropeptides S1 (GFNSALMFamide) and S2 (SGPYSFNSGLTFamide) from the sea stars Asterias rubens and Asterias forbesi have initiated numerous studies on their morphological localization and ...

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
