Food habits and dietary variability of pelagic nekton off Oregon and Washington, 1979-1984 [PDF]

, 1987
The food habits of 20 species of pelagic nekton were investigated from collections made with small-mesh purse seines from 1979-84 off Washington and Oregon. Four species (spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias; soupfin shark, Galeorhinus zyopterus; blue shark,

The evolution of the dystroglycan complex, a major mediator of muscle integrity [PDF]

, 2015
Basement membrane (BM) extracellular matrices are crucial for the coordination of different tissue layers. A matrix adhesion receptor that is important for BM function and stability in many mammalian tissues is the dystroglycan (DG) complex.

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assembly of the Loach Goby Rhyacichthys aspro Offers Insights Into Gobioidei Evolution

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The percomorph fish clade Gobioidei is a suborder that comprises over 2200 species distributed in nearly all aquatic habitats. To understand the genetics underlying their species diversification, we sequenced and annotated the genome of the loach goby, Rhyacichthys aspro, an early‐diverging group, and compared it with nine additional Gobioidei

Description of a New Species of Eusynstyela (Ascidiacea: Stolidobranchia) from Okinawa, Japan with Molecular Insight into Its Phylogenetic Position

Species Diversity
The colonial styelid genus Eusynstyela Michaelsen, 1904 comprises 12 species. Seven colonies of Eusynstyela were collected via SCUBA diving from three coastal sites in Okinawa, Japan, between 2018 and 2023.

A putative chordate luciferase from a cosmopolitan tunicate indicates convergent bioluminescence evolution across phyla

Scientific Reports, 2020
Pyrosomes are tunicates in the phylum Chordata, which also contains vertebrates. Their gigantic blooms play important ecological and biogeochemical roles in oceans. Pyrosoma, meaning “fire-body”, derives from their brilliant bioluminescence.

Taxon‐specific BLAST percent identity thresholds for identification of unknown sequences using metabarcoding

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2380-2394, October 2025.
Abstract The identification of organisms in environmental samples using metabarcoding relies on factors such as taxonomic assignment methods, genetic markers, reference databases and confidence thresholds for taxonomic assignment. Because lineages evolve at different rates, a global threshold (e.g.
