Molecular and morphological congruence of three new cryptic Neopetrosia spp. in the Caribbean [PDF]
Neopetrosia proxima (Porifera: Demospongiae: Haplosclerida) is described as a morphologically variable sponge common on shallow reefs of the Caribbean. However, the range of morphological and reproductive variation within putative N.

Seventeen new complete mtDNA sequences reveal extensive mitochondrial genome evolution within the Demospongiae. [PDF]
Two major transitions in animal evolution--the origins of multicellularity and bilaterality--correlate with major changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) organization.

ABSTRACT Cellular aquaculture offers a sustainable solution to global seafood demand, yet the production of high‐value, whole‐cut fillets is hindered by the “texture gap,” the inability to replicate the complex, anisotropic architecture of native fish muscle and its collagenous myosepta.

Towards Key Principles of Host‐Associated Microbiome Assembly
Symbiotic relationships between microbes and hosts frequently involve the assembly of complex microbial communities (i.e., the microbiome). Microbiome composition and function influence host life‐history traits, ecological trajectories of partners, and are often critical for host health.

Recovering Historical eDNA From Museum‐Preserved Filter Feeders via Non‐Destructive Metabarcoding
ABSTRACT Recent technical advances have significantly enhanced the value of museum specimens for molecular research, with metagenomic and metabarcoding approaches expanding further the utility of museum collections. However, given the finite number of specimens, there is a critical need to move past destructive DNA extraction approaches and to explore ...
