Expression and phylogenetic analysis of the zic gene family in the evolution and development of metazoans [PDF]
, 2010 Background zic genes are members of the gli/glis/nkl/zic super-family of C2H2 zinc finger (ZF) transcription factors. Homologs of the zic family have been implicated in patterning neural and mesodermal tissues in bilaterians ...

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,

Feeding ecology of juvenile Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in a northeast Pacific fjord: diet, availability of zooplankton, selectivity for prey, and potential competition for prey resources [PDF]
, 2010 We investigated the feeding ecology of juvenile salmon during the critical early life-history stage of transition from shallow to deep marine waters by sampling two stations (190 m and 60 m deep) in a northeast Pacific fjord (Dabob Bay, WA) between May ...

Carbon content of Mnemiopsis leidyi eggs and specific egg production rates in northern Europe [PDF]
, 2014 The comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi is considered to be a successful invasive species, partly due to its high reproduction potential. However, due to the absence of direct carbon measurements of eggs, specific reproduction rates remain uncertain.

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.

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,

The phylogenetic position of ctenophores and the origin(s) of nervous systems [PDF]
, 2015 Ctenophores have traditionally been treated as eumetazoans, but some recent whole genome studies have revived the idea that they are, rather, the sister group to all other metazoans.
