Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Taking machine learning with a grain of sand: Sediment Analysis Neural‐network Data‐engine (SAND‐e) reveals sedimentological differences between turbid and clear‐water reefs

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Using machine learning, researchers can count and crudely identify sand grains from coral reefs automatically. This will allow us to generate larger datasets to answer sedimentological questions. Abstract Sediment is an important facet of sand cay reefs as it is responsible for reef accretion and island formation, with shifts in the proportions of ...

Domed‐rim microbial polygons and their preservation potential

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) derive through interactions between minerals and microorganisms. We define a domed‐rim MISS, morphologically distinct from abiotic mud cracks and demonstrate its potential for long‐term preservation. These structures represent promising biosignatures in ancient environments on Earth and potentially Mars.

Structural Characterization and Profiles of Saponins from Two Algerian Sea Cucumbers

Molecules
Sea cucumbers are benthic marine invertebrate members of the phylum Echinodermata. Due to the absence of a rigid skeleton, these species have developed chemical defenses based on the production of saponins (triterpene glycosides).

Invertebrate Biodiversity Associated With a Unique Bryozoan Biogenic Reef Complex (Western Port, Victoria, Australia)

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A unique biogenic bryozoan reef has been recently discovered in Western Port (a temperate embayment), Victoria, Australia. This reef is significant owing to its contiguous, regular, linear rows of densely stacked bryozoan colonies with large vertical relief. We aimed to (1) document the biodiversity of the macroinvertebrate epifauna associated

Cryptofauna Associated With the Epilithic Algal Matrix on Subtropical Brazilian Reefs

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The epilithic algal matrix (EAM) plays a significant role in the benthic cover of reefs worldwide. In Brazil, the EAM accounts for a substantial proportion of the benthos, and its associated fauna contributes to the majority of the reef's metazoan biodiversity and is an important link into the trophic chain, connecting the production performed

Echinoderms diversity in the Southwestern Atlantic [PDF]

, 2015
Studies of biodiversity of echinoderms from South America have increased in recent years. Here we summarize sampling done on three expeditions along the Argentinean coast (35º - 55º S) and near the Antarctic Peninsula.

Unravelling echinoid mass mortalities: a global overview of mechanisms, spatio‐temporal trends, and taxonomic insights

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 221-236, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Mass mortality events (MMEs) have been occurring since the dawn of time. However, in contrast to terrestrial events, most marine MMEs remain undetected, largely due to the inaccessibility of many marine environments. One of the most notorious and best‐studied marine MMEs in modern times is that of the population collapse of the echinoid ...
