The microbiome of polychaetes Syllis prolifera and Platynereis massiliensis complex changes in naturally acidified CO2 vents. A slight degree of acidification is associated with relevant changes in the microbial community, stressing the importance of investigations about the possible effects of ocean acidification on key biological and ecological ...

Methylome Profiling of a Deuterostome Invertebrate Using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT)
ABSTRACT DNA methylation is crucial for genome regulation and provides key insights into the interaction between genetics and environmental factors, offering valuable perspectives for ecological research. However, knowledge of DNA methylation patterns in nonmodel invertebrates remains limited.

Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

Deciphering complex coral reef soundscapes with spatial audio and 360° video
Abstract Coral reef soundscapes hold an untapped wealth of biodiversity information. While they are easy to record and filled with snapping shrimp and fish sounds, they are difficult to decipher because we know little about which sounds are made by which species. With identified fish sounds, acoustic monitoring can directly inform biodiversity metrics,

Mitigating the seductive details effect by topic and irrelevance signals
Abstract Background Seductive details (interesting digressions in learning materials) are often integrated into learning units to make them more appealing to learners. However, studies indicate that this tends to overload students cognitively and impairs their learning performance. Aims The present study investigated whether these negative consequences

Measuring juvenile habitat quality for fishes and invertebrates
ABSTRACT Identifying the role of marine and estuarine habitats in supporting fish and invertebrate populations during vulnerable juvenile life stages is essential to achieve effective conservation and fisheries management. There remains general agreement that: (i) the quality of juvenile habitat is best measured as the contribution of juveniles to ...

Defining ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs
ABSTRACT Sharks have often been perceived to play a critical role in the dynamics of coral reef ecosystems globally. Yet, there is relatively little evidence to support this idea across all but a limited set of species and contexts. Research on the roles and importance of reef sharks has been complicated by logistical challenges in collecting data on ...
