Polychromatic Population of Bioluminescent Organisms in the Deep Pacific Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive study of deep‐sea bioluminescent organisms in the Cascadia Basin, Northeast Pacific Ocean, based on four years (2020–2023) of in situ measurements using STRings for Absorption length in Water instruments. Analysis of over 1.3 million camera images and continuous photomultiplier tube recordings revealed that ...

Parallel evolution of gravity sensing

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Omnipresent gravity affects all living organisms; it was a vital factor in the past and the current bottleneck for future space exploration. However, little is known about the evolution of gravity sensing and the comparative biology of gravity reception.

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 521-544, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

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.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 444-461, June 2026.
Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Synthetic pelagic biomass size spectra of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Synthetic normalized biomass size spectra (NBSS) comprising non‐synoptically sampled phytoplankton, meso‐ and macrozooplankton, and micronekton including mesopelagic fishes were explored to analyze pelagic community structure in seven regions of the tropical and the subtropical Atlantic representative of different water bodies (NE Brazil shelf,

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

Anthozoan eDNA primer set characterizes Ctenophora and Medusozoa inhabiting mesophotic and deep waters off the Gulf Coast of the southern USA

Frontiers in Marine Science
While gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) constitute a vital component of the marine food web, understanding their biology and ecology has been hindered because traditional collection methods often destroy their fragile bodies.
