Rubrolides A, D, P, T, U: Total Syntheses and Antibacterial Evaluation of Highly Brominated Marine Natural Products

open access: yesChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 4, April 2026.
Following the Danube Flow. The first total syntheses of highly brominated rubrolides T, U, and U‐analog, together with the efficient and divergent syntheses of rubrolides A, D, and P. The dibrominated key intermediate, obtained via a Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction, is the centerpiece of the synthesis.

An organic extract from ascidian Ciona robusta induces cytotoxic autophagy in human malignant cell lines

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry
The last decades have seen an increase in the isolation and characterization of anticancer compounds derived from marine organisms, especially invertebrates, and their use in clinical trials. In this regard, ascidians, which are included in the subphylum

Addressing a Flat‐Out Problem: Environmental DNA (eDNA) Exposes Silent Infestations of Acropora‐Eating Flatworms (Prosthiostomum acroporae) in Coral Aquaculture

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Captive coral aquaculture is increasingly important for both the aquarium trade and reef restoration, but production can be undermined by hard‐to‐detect pests such as the Acropora‐eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae. We developed and validated a highly sensitive ddPCR assay capable of detecting P.

From barrier to gateway: Climate‐facilitated expansion of thaliaceans in the Arctic Ocean

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Thaliaceans (doliolids, pyrosomes, salps) play fundamental roles in global carbon cycling and pelagic food webs through high filtration rates and rapid reproduction. Despite their prevalence, they are virtually absent from the Arctic Ocean. This paper explores the ecological, physiological, and historical factors that may have contributed to ...

As above, so below: A perspective into the application of land‐forest monitoring methods for the assessment of marine animal forests

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1124-1142, April 2026.
Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems dominated by vertically structuring filter‐ and suspension‐feeders. As terrestrial forests, they are considered biodiversity hotspots, forming canopies, serving as a refuge, nursery, reproduction and feeding shelters for many species.

The ascidian prophenoloxidase activating system [PDF]

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2009
Phenoloxidases/tyrosinases initiate melanin synthesis in almost all organisms, and are involved in different biological activities such as the colour change of human hair and the browning or blackening of fruit skin etc.

Evolutionary mitogenomics of Chordata: the strange case of ascidians and vertebrates [PDF]

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2009
The availability of almost one thousand complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) sequences of chordates provides an almost unique opportunity to analyse the evolution of this genome in the phylum Chordata, and to identify possible divergent evolutionary ...

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 848-868, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.
