High-Throughput DNA Sequencing Reveals Gastric Content Composition and Inter-Specific Variation in <i>Pampus</i> Fishes. [PDF]
In this study, we employed high‐throughput sequencing of environmental DNA (eDNA) to conduct an analysis of the gastric contents composition and relative abundance from samples of P. argenteus and P. punctatissimus collected at the Jimiya Fish Pier in Qingdao, Shandong Province, and P. cinereus collected at the Qinglan Port in Wenchang, Hainan Province.

Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

New group of the Early Palaeozoic conodont-like fossils [PDF]
The paper is devoted to the Upper Cambrian and Tremadocian organophosphatic microfossils which were hitherto treated as conodonts and assigned mainly to the genera Coelocerodontus and Viirodus.

Rotiferan Hox genes give new insights into the evolution of metazoan bodyplans [PDF]
The phylum Rotifera consists of minuscule, nonsegmented animals with a unique body plan and an unresolved phylogenetic position. The presence of pharyngeal articulated jaws supports an inclusion in Gnathifera nested in the Spiralia.

Tables and diagrams on trophology of walleye pollock in the western Bering Sea
State of zooplankton, as the food base of walleye pollock, in the western Bering Sea in the early 21st century is considered. Warm period of the 2001-2006 changed to cold period of the 2007-2013 and, after the transitional year of 2014, a new warm period
