Predicting oxygen thresholds of marine taxa to improve ecological forecasts
Species' ranges are shifting in response to increasing temperature and decreasing oxygen in coastal oceans. Predicting these shifts is limited by information on physiological oxygen thresholds and how they depend on temperature. Here we collate laboratory‐derived measurements of a common oxygen threshold, pcrit, for 148 animal species that span six ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...

New record for the distribution of the colonial hydroid Cordylophora caspia (Pallas, 1771) (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) in Argentina [PDF]
Cordylophora caspia is a colonial, athecate hydroid inhabiting both in freshwater and brackish habitats. Its global distribution is in part due to its ability to tolerate a wide range of salinity.

Fecal pellet packaging enhances marine carbon sequestration
Abstract Fecal pellets produced by marine zooplankton contribute substantially to transporting biologically fixed carbon from the sunlit sea surface into deeper water layers. Their occurrence and composition are often heterogeneous, and pellets may undergo various changes while sinking, making it difficult to quantitatively assess their mechanisms of ...

Conservation and co-option in developmental programmes: the importance of homology relationships [PDF]
One of the surprising insights gained from research in evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) is that increasing diversity in body plans and morphology in organisms across animal phyla are not reflected in similarly dramatic changes at the level ...

Withdrawal behaviour of the red sea pen Pennatula rubra (Cnidaria: Pennatulacea)
Aggregations of sea pens are important soft-bottom communities providing a three-dimensional complexity from which several associated species can benefit.

Metazoans of redoxcline sediments in Mediterranean deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basins [PDF]
Background: The deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basins (DHABs) of the Mediterranean (water depth similar to 3500 m) are some of the most extreme oceanic habitats known.

Towards a phylogenetic classification of Leptothecata (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa)
Leptothecata are hydrozoans whose hydranths are covered by perisarc and gonophores and whose medusae bear gonads on their radial canals. They develop complex polypoid colonies and exhibit considerable morphological variation among species with respect to
