Neurotoxicity in Marine Invertebrates: An Update
Invertebrates represent about 95% of existing species, and most of them belong to aquatic ecosystems. Marine invertebrates are found at intermediate levels of the food chain and, therefore, they play a central role in the biodiversity of ecosystems ...

DNA Barcoding of Cold-Water Coral-Associated Ophiuroid Fauna from the North Atlantic
In this study we focus on the ophiuroid species associated with cold-water corals south of Iceland. The specimens were sampled with the ROV Phoca (GEOMAR) in three different areas, during the recent expedition MSM75 connected to the IceAGE_RR (Icelandic ...

Species retaining ancestral features, such as species called living fossils, are often regarded as less derived than their sister groups, but such discussions are usually based on qualitative enumeration of conserved traits. This approach creates a major

The sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) was used to test the effects of one of the most abundant flame retardant additives for plastics, tris (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCPP), and the synthetic hormone ethinylestradiol (EE2) on gametogenesis and gonad

Long-term change in benthopelagic fish abundance in the abyssal northeast Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Food web structure, particularly the relative importance of bottom-up and top-down control of animal abundances, is poorly known for the Earth's largest habitats: the abyssal plains.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Extensive introgression among strongylocentrotid sea urchins revealed by phylogenomics
Gametic isolation is thought to play an important role in the evolution of reproductive isolation in broadcast‐spawning marine invertebrates. However, it is unclear whether gametic isolation commonly evolves early in the speciation process or only ...

Crinoid phylogeny: a preliminary analysis (Echinodermata: Crinoidea) [PDF]
We describe the first molecular and morphological analysis of extant crinoid high-level inter-relationships. Nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences and a cladistically coded matrix of 30 morphological characters are presented, and analysed by ...
