Benthoplanidae, a new family of benthic ctenophores (Platyctenida), based on morphological and genetic data

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
The benthic ctenophore Benthoplana meteoris (adults left and bottom, planktonic juveniles to the top right), type species for the genus, which in turn is type for the newly erected family: Benthoplanidae (Ctenophora, Platyctenida). Abstract We present a phylogenetic analysis of benthic ctenophores of the order Platyctenida, sampling all but one genus ...

Marine benthic flora and fauna of Gourdon Bay and the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia [PDF]

, 2011
Surveys undertaken to characterise the marine benthic habitats along the Dampier Peninsula and further south at Gourdon Bay in the Kimberley region of Western Australia were augmented with epibenthic sled sampling of soft and hard bottom habitats.

Century‐Scale Changes in the Feeding Patterns of Demersal Fish Species in the Western North Sea

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 99-115, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the extent and magnitude of change in marine food webs requires historical data that predates modern monitoring efforts. Such information can provide invaluable insights into the longer‐term impacts of altered trophic interactions, yet it is rarely incorporated into marine policy frameworks.

Cnidarians as a Source of New Marine Bioactive Compounds—An Overview of the Last Decade and Future Steps for Bioprospecting

Marine Drugs, 2011
Marine invertebrates are rich sources of bioactive compounds and their biotechnological potential attracts scientific and economic interest worldwide. Although sponges are the foremost providers of marine bioactive compounds, cnidarians are also being ...

Characterization of translationally controlled tumour protein from the sea anemone Anemonia viridis and transcriptome wide identification of cnidarian homologues [PDF]

, 2018
Gene family encoding translationally controlled tumour protein (TCTP) is defined as highly conserved among organisms; however, there is limited knowledge of non-bilateria.

Response of Early Life‐Stages of Forest‐Forming Seaweeds From Warm‐Edge and Central Populations to Marine Heatwaves

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) pose a threat to global marine forests, with the effects of warming potentially being even greater on early life stages, which are often understudied. We evaluated the responses of Phyllospora comosa—one of the most crucial forest‐forming seaweeds in South‐eastern Australia—early life stages from warm‐edge and central ...

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

Microbial arms race: Ballistic "nematocysts" in dinoflagellates represent a new extreme in organelle complexity [PDF]

, 2017
We examine the origin of harpoon-like secretory organelles (nematocysts) in dinoflagellate protists. These ballistic organelles have been hypothesized to be homologous to similarly complex structures in animals (cnidarians); but we show, using structural,

The Host Coral Bleaching Response Viewed Through the Lens of Multi‐Omics

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
Coral bleaching is driven by multiple inputs, with heat stress and/or high irradiance being most important. The bleaching response is multifactorial with host animal species/strain and algal symbiont genotypes being critical features. Omics readout of heat stress responses includes gene expression, proteomics, metabolite, and SNP data with transcript ...
