Confined marine environments are particularly susceptible to climate change and anthropic pressures. Indeed, the long-term monitoring of benthic assemblages in these environments allows us to understand the direction of changes over time.

Molecular biodiversity of Red Sea demosponges [PDF]
Sponges are important constituents of coral reef ecosystems, including those around the Arabian Peninsula. Despite their importance, our knowledge on demosponge diversity in this area is insufficient to recognize, for example, faunal changes caused by anthropogenic disturbances.

Establishment of Transgenesis in the Demosponge Suberites domuncula [PDF]
Abstract Sponges (Porifera) represent one of the most basally branching animal clades with key relevance for evolutionary studies, stem cell biology, and development. Despite a long history of sponges as experimental model systems, however, functional molecular studies are still very difficult to perform in these animals. Here, we report

Diversity in a Cold Hot-Spot: DNA-Barcoding Reveals Patterns of Evolution among Antarctic Demosponges (Class Demospongiae, Phylum Porifera). [PDF]
The approximately 350 demosponge species that have been described from Antarctica represent a faunistic component distinct from that of neighboring regions.

Description of a new species of Membranobalanus (Crustacea, Cirripedia) from southern Australia [PDF]
A new species of sponge-inhabiting barnacle, Membranobalanus porphyrophilus sp. nov., is described herein. This species can be distinguished from all other congeners by a combination of characters, in particular by the shapes of the tergum and scutum and

Long Term Marine Biodiversity Monitoring in Coastal Antarctica: Are Fewer Rare Species Recruiting? [PDF]
Barnes et al. report 21 years of monitoring marine invertebrate recruitment to artificial substrata (settlement panels) with contextual environmental variables at the West Antarctic Peninsula. Traditional measures of recruitment and colonisation, such as density and space occupation (% cover) varied but with no obvious temporal trend.
