A study on the biodiversity of benthic invertebrates in the waters of Seogwipo, Jeju Island, Korea

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2014
The biodiversity of benthic invertebrates in the intertidal and subtidal regions of Gapado, Beomseom, and Munseom islets was surveyed twice in May and September 2013 to study the state of biodiversity in Seogwipo, Jeju Island.

Comparative Multi‐Marker Environmental DNA Metabarcoding of Marine Metazoan Communities: Water vs. Sediment

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the metazoan biodiversity in the Southern Adriatic Sea using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. Sediment and adjacent water samples were collected from three sites (one pristine, two impacted by human activities) at three distances from the coast across two seasons.

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.

Accounting for Intra‐ and Intergenomic Sequence Variation in Reference Barcodes Improves eDNA Metabarcoding Biodiversity Assessment

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can rapidly characterise biodiversity, yet its accuracy and effectiveness are limited by incomplete DNA barcode reference databases. We evaluated how comprehensive reference databases that include sequence variation within genomes (intragenomic) and across individuals and species (intergenomic) improve ...

The homeodomain complement of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi suggests that Ctenophora and Porifera diverged prior to the ParaHoxozoa

EvoDevo, 2010
Background The much-debated phylogenetic relationships of the five early branching metazoan lineages (Bilateria, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, Placozoa and Porifera) are of fundamental importance in piecing together events that occurred early in animal evolution.

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 848-868, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

A Dynamic Foraging Habitat Distribution Estimate for Green Turtles in the Great Barrier Reef

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We develop telemetry‐based habitat models with boosted regression trees to identify the environmental characteristics underpinning foraging habitat suitability for green turtles in the Great Barrier Reef region. We then predict potentially suitable foraging areas for green turtles in the Great Barrier Reef region.

Lista comentada de los ctenóforos pelágicos en Colombia

Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales
Los ctenóforos se observan comúnmente en Colombia, pero su preservación en colecciones biológicas es difícil, lo que limita la verificación de identificaciones y el avance en el conocimiento de la biodiversidad marina colombiana y regional.

Comparative study of Hippo pathway genes in cellular conveyor belts of a ctenophore and a cnidarian

EvoDevo, 2016
Background The Hippo pathway regulates growth rate and organ size in fly and mouse, notably through control of cell proliferation. Molecular interactions at the heart of this pathway are known to have originated in the unicellular ancestry of metazoans ...
