Ultrastructure of Meelsvirus: A nuclear virus of arrow worms (phylum Chaetognatha) producing giant "tailed" virions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Most known giant viruses, i.e., viruses producing giant virions, parasitize amoebae and other unicellular eukaryotes. Although they vary in the level of dependence on host nuclear functions, their virions self-assemble in the host cell's cytoplasm.

eDNA Metabarcoding Reveals Microbial Community Composition in Tropical Mangrove Forests in Makassar, Indonesia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with 18S rRNA markers to assess microbial diversity in the Lantebung Mangrove Forest, Makassar, Indonesia. It identified 103 microbial species across five kingdoms, revealing higher species richness in open‐water areas (P1) and greater individual abundance under mangrove canopy (P2).

Macroid Formation in <i>Salmacina stellaebayensis</i> n. sp. From Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile With New Insights on Mitogenome Evolution in Serpulidae (Annelida). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe describe Salmacina stellaebayensis n. sp. from Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile and provide the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus Salmacina. The species forms distinctive macroid colonies in Cymodocea nodosa seagrass meadows, offering new insights into serpulid life history and habitat specialization.

Fatty Acids and Stomach Contents Reveal Dietary Overlaps of Two Prospering Squid Species in the North Sea. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDistribution ranges of cephalopods are expanding worldwide and their abundances are increasing due to ocean warming. Recently, the broadtail shortfin squid Illex coindetii (Ommastrephidae) expanded into the North Sea where it established a successful spawning stock beside the resident veined squid Loligo forbesii (Loliginidae).

MetaZooGene Intercalibration Experiment (MZG-ICE): Metabarcoding Marine Zooplankton Diversity of the Global Ocean. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding of zooplankton biodiversity is used increasingly for monitoring global ocean ecosystems, requiring comparable data from different research laboratories and ocean regions. The MetaZooGene Intercalibration Experiment (MZG‐ICE) was designed to examine1 and analyse patterns of variation of DNA sequence data resulting from multi ...
