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.

Multi‐Marker Mitochondrial Analysis Reveals Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationships of Black Sea Sturgeons (Acipenseridae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Sturgeons are an important species due to their complex genetic structure and evolutionary characteristics. Unfortunately, they are threatened with extinction due to illegal and overfishing, as well as the loss of their natural habitats. In our work, we examine the genetic diversity of four sturgeon species that inhabit the Black Sea basin and its ...

Instance of a Heteroplasmic Mitogenome in Alvinocaridid Shrimp Mirocaris fortunata (Martin & Christiansen 1995) Found at the Moytirra Deep‐Sea High‐Temperature Hydrothermal Vent Field

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
First complete mitochondrial genome of the deep‐sea hydrothermal vent shrimp Mirocaris fortunata (Alvinocarididae) from shotgun sequencing data on an individual tail tissue. The 15,923‐bp‐long sequence displays 98.72% pairwise identity with its closest relative, Mirocaris indica.

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.

Environmental DNA as a Detection and Quantitative Tool for Brown Bullhead Catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus): A Comparison With Conventional Netting

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Multiple environmental DNA (eDNA) methods were compared with each other and with fyke netting for detecting invasive brown bullhead catfish. eDNA sampling combined with catfish‐specific metabarcoding provides sensitive detection and effectively complements traditional netting for biosecurity.

SPROUTS_DB: An Implemented Database of Contaminants for Extracellular Vesicle Proteomics Studies

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 7, Page 69-83, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Current proteomics techniques allow rapid identification and quantification of proteins within any given biological source. However, LC–MS/MS proteomics is vulnerable to laboratory and sample‐associated contaminants. Therefore, accurate identification and annotation of such contaminants is crucial for development of reliable databases ...
