Examining an Outlier: Molecular Diversity in the Cirripedia [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2012 Despite the typical assumption in studies of mitochondrial diversity that such data are useful for approximating population size and demography, studies of sequence diversity in mitochondrial DNA across the Metazoa have shown a surprising excess of rare alleles, a pattern associated either with strong selection or population growth.

New marine heterotardigrade lineages (Echiniscoididae) from the tropics
The European Zoological Journal, 2022 Echiniscoididae are the only family of the clade Echiniscoidea residing in marine habitats. Their characteristic feature is the multiplication of claws on legs, commonly regarded as an adaptation to unstable tidal environment. Although DNA barcoding data

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT The introduction of exotic species is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss in aquatic ecosystems. The Harris mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii, native to the Atlantic coast of North America, was recorded in the Patos Lagoon estuary (southern Brazil) in the 1980s, likely introduced via ballast water. However, the effects of this invader

XIV. On the early development of Cirripedia [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, 1893 Abstract During a month’s occupation of a table at the Marine Biological Laboratory of Plymouth, in the summer of 1889, and a nine months’ occupation of the Cambridge University Table at the Zoological Station of Naples, commencing in the October of the same year, I had the opportunity of studying the development of a number of ...

Cryptofauna Associated With the Epilithic Algal Matrix on Subtropical Brazilian Reefs
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT The epilithic algal matrix (EAM) plays a significant role in the benthic cover of reefs worldwide. In Brazil, the EAM accounts for a substantial proportion of the benthos, and its associated fauna contributes to the majority of the reef's metazoan biodiversity and is an important link into the trophic chain, connecting the production performed

Seasonal Dynamics and Stability of Zooplankton Community in Mytilus coruscus Farming Areas
Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Large‐scale mussel farming affects marine plankton, yet the seasonal dynamics and stability of zooplankton community in mussel farms remain poorly understood. To evaluate the seasonal variation of zooplankton community and potential aquaculture impacts, surveys on zooplankton community in mussel farms near Gouqi Island were carried out in October 2022 (
