Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Discovery and fine‐scale mapping of a hadal xenophyophore field: submersible video transects and photogrammetry enable semi‐automated delineation of xenophyophores, revealing their abundance, spatial organisation, structural complexity and contribution to habitat heterogeneity at ~8000 m depth.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Multiple opsins in a reef-building coral, Acropora millepora
Scientific Reports, 2023 Opsins, light-sensitive G protein-coupled receptors, have been identified in corals but their properties are largely unknown. Here, we identified six opsin genes (acropsins 1–6) from a coral species Acropora millepora, including three novel opsins ...

Banking Biodiversity: Ex Vivo Solutions for a Planet in Crisis
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Genetic diversity is being lost faster than it can be cataloged. Biobanking preserves cells, gametes, and DNA as recoverable material for future conservation use, and delivers most when collections are established proactively rather than deployed once populations are already critically depleted.

Range expansion of two box jellyfish (Cnidaria, Cubozoa) in southern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
Check List, 2019 We report range extensions of Chiropsalmus quadrumanus (Müller, 1859) and Tripedalia cystophora Conant, 1897 to 2 coastal lagoons in the southern Gulf of Mexico. These new records are the first for these species in Yucatán and Mexico.

Direct, but not indirect, predation‐risk cues deter larval settlement in a scyphozoan jellyfish
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Predators can shape population dynamics before consumption occurs, with prey using chemical information to guide larval settlement. We show that jellyfish larvae (Aurelia coerulea) respond selectively to predation‐risk cues, reducing settlement in response to predator presence and active predation cues, but not to residual cues from previously preyed ...

Box Jellyfish Use Terrestrial Visual Cues for Navigation [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 Box jellyfish have an impressive set of 24 eyes of four different types, including eyes structurally similar to those of vertebrates and cephalopods [1, 2]. However, the known visual responses are restricted to simple phototaxis, shadow responses, and object avoidance responses [3-8], and it has been a puzzle why they need such a complex set of eyes ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.A high‐quality chromosome‐level reference genome was constructed for Hucho bleekeri. Population structure and environmental adaptation of Hucho species were revealed by whole‐genome resequencing. ABSTRACT Salmonidae represents an important family in the study of genome evolution following genome duplication.
