Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia
Ecography, EarlyView.Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

Sampling effort to characterize estuarine macroinfaunal communities in patchy habitats
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Estuarine benthic macroinfauna have aggregated, patchy distributions, making accurate community measurements dependent upon sampling scales. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate core sizes and sampling effort needed to characterize benthic infaunal communities in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, USA.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

An Organismal Model for Gene Regulatory Networks in the Gut-Associated Immune Response
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 The gut epithelium is an ancient site of complex communication between the animal immune system and the microbial world. While elements of self-non-self receptors and effector mechanisms differ greatly among animal phyla, some aspects of recognition ...

Population biology of the sea star Anasterias minuta (Forcipulatida: Asteriidae) threatened by anthropogenic activities in rocky intertidal shores of San Matías Gulf, Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
, 2017 In Patagonian coastal areas, intertidal benthic communities are exposed to extreme physical conditions. The interaction between harsh environment and anthropogenic pressure can generate changes in population biology of marine invertebrates, like density ...

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia
Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,
