Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

New Records of Two Genera Leptoseris and Phyllangia (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia: Scleractinia) from Korea

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2015
Two scleractinian species are newly recorded in Korea: Leptoseris mycetoseroides Wells, 1954 and Phyllangia hayamaensis (Eguchi, 1968). The two genera Leptoseris Milne Edwards and Haime, 1849 and Phyllangia Milne Edwards and Haime, 1848 are also newly ...

Coral Disease and Health Workshop: Coral Histopathology II [PDF]

, 2007
The health and continued existence of coral reef ecosystems are threatened by an increasing array of environmental and anthropogenic impacts. Coral disease is one of the prominent causes of increased mortality among reefs globally, particularly in the ...

Light and Vision in the Deep-Sea Benthos: I. Bioluminescence at 500-1000 m Depth in the Bahamian Islands [PDF]

, 2012
Bioluminescence is common and well studied in mesopelagic species. However, the extent of bioluminescence in benthic sites of similar depths is far less studied, although the relatively large eyes of benthic fish, crustaceans and cephalopods at bathyal ...

Force-dependent discharge of nematocysts in the sea anemone Haliplanella luciae (Verrill)

Biology Open, 2012
Summary Sea anemones discharge cnidae (‘stinging capsules’ including nematocysts) to capture prey and to defend themselves. In the present study, we tested the relationship between the force of test probes striking feeding tentacles and discharge of ...

The Phylum Cnidaria: A Review of Phylogenetic Patterns and Diversity 300 Years After Linnaeus [PDF]

, 2007
Systema Naturae includes representatives of every major lineage of the animal phylum Cnidaria. However, Linnaeus did not classify the members of the phylum as is now done, and the diversity of the group is not well represented.

Morphological and Phylogenomic Insights Into Hidden Diversity in Coralliidae With Description of a New Species Paraminabea xishaensis sp. nov. From the South China Sea

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The family Coralliidae (Octocorallia) includes ecologically and economically important octocorals that build rigid, three‐dimensional skeletal frameworks from shallow reefs to the deep sea. Despite extensive morphological study, species boundaries remain difficult to delimit because of morphological convergence, phenotypic plasticity, and the limited ...

Why Homoscleromorph Sponges Have Ciliated Epithelia: Evidence for an Ancestral Role in Mucociliary Driven Particle Flux

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 8, Page 505-516, December 2025.
Epithelia are typically ciliated, except in sponges. Of all Porifera only Homoscleromorphs have motile cilia on their epithelia. Our data highlight the presence of cilia and mucociliary particle transport as a common feature of metazoa and a secondary loss in other sponge lineages.
