The Seasonal Rhythms of Coastal eDNA: Insights Into Biodiversity and Regional Detection Patterns
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.Seasonal variation affects environmental DNA (eDNA) detection, yet its influence on species monitoring remains underexplored. This study examines eDNA detection windows across taxa, primers, and regions, finding that most species have short detection periods (1–2 months) that vary with taxonomy and primer choice. These results underscore the importance

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding of zooplankton biodiversity is used increasingly for monitoring global ocean ecosystems, requiring comparable data from different research laboratories and ocean regions. The MetaZooGene Intercalibration Experiment (MZG‐ICE) was designed to examine1 and analyse patterns of variation of DNA sequence data resulting from multi ...

New genomic data and analyses challenge the traditional vision of animal epithelium evolution
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background The emergence of epithelia was the foundation of metazoan expansion. Epithelial tissues are a hallmark of metazoans deeply rooted in the evolution of their complex developmental morphogenesis processes.

First records of two lobate comb-jellies (Ctenophora) from the Pakistani coast [PDF]
Check List, 2015 The knowledge on the comb-jellies faunistics along the southern Asian coast is very scarce. For some countries such as Pakistan there are no previous formal records of ctenophores. This study is a first survey to the group diversity along Pakistani coast,

Is the Presence of Jellyfish Problematic or Beneficial?
Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2013 Jellyfish are a diverse group of animals. The group consists of Chordata, Ctenophora and, mainly, Cnidaria. Jellyfish are often thought to be harmful, but few can cause fatality in humans.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 12, Page 3634-3649, December 2025.Abstract Although gelatinous zooplankton are key members of marine ecosystems and food webs, their trophic ecology is poorly described across the deep pelagic. We used stable carbon (bulk tissue) and nitrogen (bulk tissue and amino acid) isotope analysis to estimate the trophic positions (TPs) of abundant gelatinous zooplankton (chaetognaths ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim This study characterises benthic habitats and associated biodiversity in three Japanese subduction trenches, and explores the effects of trench‐specific differences in large‐scale seismic events, disturbance and productivity regimes on habitat structure and assemblage composition.

Never ending analysis of a century old evolutionary debate: unringing the urmetazoon bell
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Our understanding of the early evolution of animals will be greatly improved if a final solution can be found to the evolutionary relationships between Porifera, Placozoa, Ctenophora, Cnidaria and Bilateria.
