Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.

Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

Frontiers in Marine ScienceCoral reef karstification plays a vital role in sea-air CO2 exchange, yet its mechanisms remain unclear. This study employs an 878.22-m coral reef sequence (dating to19.6 Ma) from Well CK2 in the Xisha Islands, South China Sea (SCS), to investigate ...

An environmental assessment of the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Key Largo Coral Reef Marine Sanctuary (Unpublished 1983 Report) [PDF]
, 2002 The Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was established in 1960 and the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary in 1975. Field studies, funded by NOAA, were conducted in 1980 - 1981 to determine the state of the coral reefs and surrounding areas in relation to ...

Acoustic indices are not useful for biodiversity research
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity assessment using passive acoustic monitoring has historically been challenging due to the limited availability of multi‐species acoustic detectors. In this context, acoustic indices were introduced as an alternative way to represent species diversity in acoustic datasets.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingOwing to the high spatial heterogeneity of substrate types and terrain, the present satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) methods have low accuracy in deriving large-scale bathymetry in coral reef habitats. Taking 11 coral reefs of Xisha Islands (ocean area
