Differential responses of calcifying and non-calcifying epibionts of a brown macroalga to present-day and future upwelling pCO2. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Seaweeds are key species of the Baltic Sea benthic ecosystems. They are the substratum of numerous fouling epibionts like bryozoans and tubeworms. Several of these epibionts bear calcified structures and could be impacted by the high pCO2 events of the ...

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 521-544, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

The neuroanatomy of Barentsia discreta (Entoprocta, Coloniales) reveals significant differences between bryozoan and entoproct nervous systems

Frontiers in Zoology, 2019
Background Entoprocta affinities within Lophotrochozoa remain unclear. In different studies, entoprocts are considered to be related to different groups, including Cycliophora, Bryozoa, Annelida, and Mollusca.

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 4, Page 357-369, June 2026.
In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 444-461, June 2026.
Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Spider mite genotypes with higher growth rate suffer more from competition but exert stronger reproductive interference

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 1002-1014, June 2026.
Genetic correlations have strong implications for species coexistence and their evolution. Studies addressing this issue generally tackle traits associated with competition for food and those underlying reproductive interference separately, whereas it is clear that the interaction among these is key to understand the ecology and evolution of closely ...

The Cenozoic age of the supposed Jurassic crab Hebertides jurassica Guinot, De Angeli & Garassino, 2007 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura)

Natural History Sciences, 2012
The specific name of the crab Hebertides jurassica Guinot, De Angeli & Garassino, 2007, reflects the belief that the single known specimen is of Jurassic age and hence would represent a very early heterotreme eubrachyuran. The specimen was collected from

Freshwater Navigation Is Linked to Non‐Native Species Distributions Across Spatial Scales

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Invasive species are among the most important drivers of native species declines, and cause serious economic and ecological costs. Globally, Europe is a hotspot for freshwater non‐native species, especially among macroinvertebrates and fish, and inland navigation is thought to be a major driver of their spread. However, the degree to which
