Evolution and development of Brain Networks: From Caenorhabditis elegans to Homo sapiens

open access: yes, 2011
Neural networks show a progressive increase in complexity during the time course of evolution. From diffuse nerve nets in Cnidaria to modular, hierarchical systems in macaque and humans, there is a gradual shift from simple processes involving a limited ...

Towards a phylogenetic classification of Leptothecata (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
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

Calibrating Predicted Mixture Toxic Pressure to Observed Biodiversity Loss in Aquatic Ecosystems

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study bridges the gap between lab‐based chemical toxicity estimates and real‐world biodiversity loss in freshwater ecosystems. Findings show that rising toxic pressure from chemical mixtures is closely linked to declining species diversity, even at levels considered safe.

Medusae and ctenophores from the Bahia Blanca Estuary and neighboring inner shelf (Southwest Atlantic Ocean, Argentina) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
An updated checklist of medusae and ctenophores is presented for the first time for the area comprised by the Bahía Blanca Estuary, the adjacent shelf El Rincón and Monte Hermoso beach, on the southwest coast of Buenos Aires province (Argentina).

SfM-Based Method to Assess Gorgonian Forests (Paramuricea clavata (Cnidaria, Octocorallia))

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Animal forests promote marine habitats morphological complexity and functioning. The red gorgonian, Paramuricea clavata, is a key structuring species of the Mediterranean coralligenous habitat and an indicator species of climate effects on habitat ...

Quantifying the Temporal Dynamics of Marine Biodiversity Under Anthropogenic Impacts Using eDNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
This study uses eDNA to explore marine biodiversity changes under anthropogenic impacts, with a focus on marine community dynamics. Through the use of eDNA metabarcoding, the research identified 814 ASVs across 617 marine families, noting drastic changes in biological communities over time, with different species dominating during different phases of ...

Revision and redescription of the species previously included in the genus Amphilaphis Studer and Wright in Studer, 1887 (Octocorallia: Primnoidae)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2012
The taxonomy of the primnoid genus Amphilaphis Studer and Wright in Studer, 1887 has been in a confused state for a long time and a revision of the species included in that genus has become a necessity.

Tentacle Transcriptome and Venom Proteome of the Pacific Sea Nettle, Chrysaora fuscescens (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa)

open access: yesToxins, 2016
Jellyfish venoms are rich sources of toxins designed to capture prey or deter predators, but they can also elicit harmful effects in humans. In this study, an integrated transcriptomic and proteomic approach was used to identify putative toxins and their

Spatial and Seasonal Biodiversity Variation in a Large Mediterranean Lagoon Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Through Sponge Tissue Collection

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
Ecosystem monitoring is essential for preventing biodiversity loss, and in the Mar Menor lagoon (SE Spain), where intensive agriculture has led to eutrophication and mass mortality of marine fauna, it is critical for assessing the status of flora and fauna and informing conservation actions.
