Biodiversity and biogeographic relationships of the polychaete fauna in French Atlantic and Mediterranean waters

Scientia Marina, 2006
A survey of the literature, including the recent systematic reviews, reveals that 934 polychaete species have been recorded in French Atlantic (including the English Channel) and Mediterranean marine waters, including 818 species living on the ...

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 397-417, March 2026.
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

The Use of Diopatra claparedii Grube, 1878 (Onuphidae, Polychaeta) as a Bioindicator of Heavy Metal Contaminations in the Donan Creek, Cilacap, Central Java, Indonesia

Ilmu Kelautan
The Donan Creek is a coastal ecosystem in Central Java that is strongly affected by industrial activities. This study represents the first attempt to use the polychaete worms Diopatra claparedii Grube, 1878 (Onuphidae) as a bioindicator of heavy metal ...

Population Structure and Reproductive Biology of the Bait Worm Sipunculus cf. nudus in Northeastern Brazil

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sipunculans are unsegmented marine annelids distributed from intertidal to deep sediments, playing important roles in nutrient cycling and ecosystem health. The Sipunculus nudus species complex is exploited as food and bait in several regions, yet reproductive data at the population level remain scarce, especially for Atlantic populations ...

River Connectivity in Dammed Areas Studied Through Environmental DNA Metabarcoding at Community and Species Levels

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The field of environmental DNA (eDNA) is rapidly expanding with established applications in biodiversity monitoring, rare species detection and ecological assessment. However, its potential to evaluate species connectivity in fragmented aquatic systems remains underexplored.

A Field‐Friendly, Non‐Toxic Fixative for Integrated Morphological and Molecular Research in Non‐Model Invertebrates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Formalin, ethanol, and RNAlater are commonly used fixatives for morphological and molecular studies, but each has limitations when specimen availability is low, as is often the case with field‐collected non‐model organisms. Here, we evaluate KINFix, a non‐toxic alcohol‐based fixative, in four invertebrate taxa and show that it effectively preserves ...
