Genomic Insights Into Species Delimitation and the Evolutionary History of Mimetic <i>Aletis</i> Moths (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) in the Afrotropics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the evolutionary history and species boundaries of diurnal Aletis moths in the Afrotropics using mitochondrial DNA and genome‐wide SNP data. Our results support five distinct species, with divergence dating back to 0.9 million years ago, influenced by climate‐driven isolation and habitat variation.

A Screen for Gene Paralogies Delineating Evolutionary Branching Order of Early Metazoa

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
The evolutionary diversification of animals is one of Earth’s greatest marvels, yet its earliest steps are shrouded in mystery. Animals, the monophyletic clade known as Metazoa, evolved wildly divergent multicellular life strategies featuring ciliated ...

Questioning the rise of gelatinous zooplankton in the World's oceans [PDF]

, 2012
During the past several decades, high numbers of gelatinous zooplankton species have been reported in many estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Coupled with media-driven public perception, a paradigm has evolved in which the global ocean ecosystems are ...

Comparative algological and bacteriological examinations on biofilms developed on different substrata in a shallow soda lake [PDF]

, 2008
According to the European Water Framework Directives, benthic diatoms of lakes are a tool for ecological status assessment. In this study, we followed an integrative sample analysis approach, in order to find an appropriate substratum for the water ...

Hidden diversity of Ctenophora revealed by new mitochondrial COI primers and sequences

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2021
The mitochondrial gene cytochrome‐c‐oxidase subunit 1 (COI) is useful in many taxa for phylogenetics, population genetics, metabarcoding, and rapid species identifications.

Population genomic structure of the gelatinous zooplankton species Mnemiopsis leidyi in its nonindigenous range in the North Sea [PDF]

, 2019
Nonindigenous species pose a major threat for coastal and estuarine ecosystems. Risk management requires genetic information to establish appropriate management units and infer introduction and dispersal routes. We investigated one of the most successful

Topology-dependent asymmetry in systematic errors affects phylogenetic placement of Ctenophora and Xenacoelomorpha

Science Advances, 2020
A data simulation approach shows that the contested origins of Ctenophora and Xenacoelomorpha are obscured by systematic errors. The evolutionary relationships of two animal phyla, Ctenophora and Xenacoelomorpha, have proved highly contentious ...

The abundance of microplastics in cnidaria and ctenophora in the North Sea.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021
Microplastic (MP) ingestion has been widely recorded in aquatic organisms, but few studies focus on cnidarians and ctenophores, which form a significant contribution to marine trophic interactions. Scyphozoans (Cyanea capillata, C.

Environmental patterns and biomass distribution of gelatinous macrozooplankton. Three study cases in the South-western Atlantic Ocean

Scientia Marina, 2000
Periodic swarms or blooms of gelatinous macrozooplankton have a negative effect on many human activities such as tourism, fisheries, and industry, but for several reasons (sampling procedures, underestimation of their real abundance, etc.), they have ...
