Recovering Historical eDNA From Museum-Preserved Filter Feeders via Non-Destructive Metabarcoding. [PDF]
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 ...

Dosilia (Porifera, Demospongiae) redefined [PDF]
Dosilia plumosa (Carter, 1849), type species of the genus, and D. brouni (Kirkpatrick, 1906), with distribution respectively in the Oriental and Ethiopic regions, are revised based on a SEM analysis of spicules, gemmules and skeletal structure. The lectotype here designated for D.

Gems From the Caves: Genomic Insights Into the Biosynthetic Potential of Antimicrobial-Producing Bacteria Associated With Tropical Cave-Dwelling Sponges. [PDF]
Our study reveals that cave‐dwelling marine sponges host bacteria with antimicrobial activity against multidrug‐resistant strains. The bioactive Pseudomonadaceae strains exhibited biosynthetic clusters encoding both characterized and putative antimicrobial compounds and peptides. The findings highlight their potential for discovering novel biomolecules
