Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability
BMEMat, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Sex determination in Porifera remains one of the least understood aspects of early metazoan biology despite the group's key phylogenetic position. Sponges display exceptional diversity in sexual systems—ranging from stable gonochorism to sequential hermaphroditism and sex reversal—yet lack morphological dimorphism and any discrete gonadal ...

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.Suspended sediment (SS) is a major stressor to coastal marine ecosystems worldwide, with SS loads expected to increase under future anthropogenic and climatic pressures. Sponges, as obligate filter feeders, are often assumed to be sensitive to elevated SS, yet responses vary widely among species, and little is known about physiological impacts of SS ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.Community diversity metrics revealed a clear ecological gradient, with the highest diversity observed in recolonized mature stands, intermediate in the natural stands, and lowest in the restored stands. Taxonomic profiles varied with mangrove stand, age, and zonation.

Diterpenoid Diversity across Land Plants
Helvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 4, April 2026.Here we bridge the knowledge of diterpene chemical diversity, biosynthesis, and evolution from nonvascular mosses and liverworts to that known from vascular plants. ABSTRACT The diverse array of diterpenoid natural products stems from the ease of manipulating the promiscuity of diterpene cyclases.

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.

Seventeen new complete mtDNA sequences reveal extensive mitochondrial genome evolution within the Demospongiae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Two major transitions in animal evolution--the origins of multicellularity and bilaterality--correlate with major changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) organization.

Recovering Historical eDNA From Museum‐Preserved Filter Feeders via Non‐Destructive Metabarcoding
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.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 ...
