An investigation into the diet of elephant fish (Callorhinchus milii) in the waters of Aotearoa/New Zealand

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are increasingly understood to be an important part of ocean ecosystems, but their ecological role is unclear. Callorhinchus milii (elephant fish) is a chimaera species endemic to Aotearoa/New Zealand and southern Australian waters.

Challenging Host Specificity: Malacosporean Parasite Dynamics—Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae Beyond Salmonids—An Infection Experiment

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proliferative Kidney Disease (PKD) is a severe parasitic disease of salmonids caused by the malacosporean endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae. In the fish intermediate host, the parasite is disseminated via the circulatory system and ultimately reaches the kidney, where it matures before releasing infective spores into the environment ...

The Bryozoa of Curaçao [PDF]

Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde, 1927
For the reason that no records for this group of animals have been made anywhere near that region, the Bryozoa collected by Dr. C. J. VAN DER HORST are of great interest. The collection is quite limited in the number of species, as might have been expected on account of the inconspicuous nature of most of them.

Transforming Life Science Through Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies

Genes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 5, September 2026.
Chromosome‐level genome assemblies provide a framework for “glocal biology” in species of interest, linking local molecular features to chromosome architecture and evolutionary context. When integrated with pangenome analysis, comparative multi‐omics, genome language models, and experimental approaches, these assemblies enable hypothesis generation and

Why Some Bryozoans Poop Themselves: A Novel Defecation Method in Ctenostome Bryozoans

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Defecation process in ctenostome bryozoans with vestibular anus. Faecal pellets are formed in the gut and afterwards pushed via the hindgut onto the retracted lophophore. The latter pushes the pellets outside. ABSTRACT Feeding in animal colonies is a challenging but important aspect in organisms comprised of numerous zooids.

Structure and dynamics of the biota associated with Macrocystis pyrifera (Phaeophyta) from the Beagle Channel, Tierra del Fuego

Scientia Marina, 1999
The community associated to the kelp Macrocystis pyrifera from the Beagle Channel (54°00´S; 68°20´W) was studied. Sixty-eight taxa including Algae (5), Porifera (indet.), Bryozoa (7), Nemertea (2), Annelida (10), Mollusca (22), Crustacea (15) and ...

Beta Diversity and Rarity Assessment of Sessile Cryptobenthic Communities Across Depth and Islands Can Inform Coral Reef Conservation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigates a poorly known component of coral reefs, the cryptobiome, species that live hidden within the reef matrix, essential for reef functioning and productivity. It focuses on patterns of diversity and rarity of sessile cryptobenthic communities across Mascarene islands, and across shallow and mesophotic habitats (in deep
