Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient
ABSTRACT Salinity gradients and fluctuations can create a natural ecological filter, with few species tolerating salinity above 50 practical salinity units (PSUs). We investigated how an inverse salinity gradient affected marine community diversity and composition in Shark Bay, a remote hypersaline coastal embayment in Western Australia.

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Non‐Invasive Underwater DNA Sampling Illuminates Red Sea Echinoderm Diversity
ABSTRACT Species‐specific non‐invasive underwater DNA sampling remains largely understudied for marine invertebrates despite its potential to revolutionise biodiversity assessment of vulnerable species or fragile ecosystems. Comprehensive species‐specific DNA barcode databases are essential for accurate species identification and taxonomic assignment ...

Echinodermata is one of the associated biota that has an important role in seagrass ecosystems. If one of the 5 classes of the Echinodermata Phylum experiences physical, chemical, biological and anthropogenic impacts or pressures, then the population and

ABSTRACT Expansion of extractive industries to deep‐sea environments will lead to increased stresses on seafloor ecosystems. We examined changes in environmental parameters following direct and indirect experimental benthic disturbance using a modified plough on the Chatham Rise (∼450 m water depth), Aotearoa/New Zealand. Measurements included sediment

The core–periphery hypothesis (CPH) predicts that genetic diversity is greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of a species' distribution because genetic diversity is a function of a species' abundance, which is also expected to be greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of the distribution. Variants of the CPH include the ‘Ramped North' (

Equinodermos colectados por el oceanografico pesquero "B. C. Academic Knipovic", en el sur de Chile
This is a study of the echinoderms caught during the oceanographic fishery cruise performed by the "B.C. Academic Knipovic" in April, 1973. The recorded specimens are from the South of Chile (45º 08'S; 74º 54'W) and belong to the classes Asteroidea ...

Abstract Invertebrate richness and community composition are key indicators of aquatic ecosystem health. Compared with morphotaxonomy‐based survey methods, DNA metabarcoding is a highly efficient and scalable biomonitoring approach that has become increasingly used in invertebrate surveys.

Unter den umfangreichen Sammlungen, die F. Junghuhn auf Java zusammengebracht hatte, befand sich auch eine grosse Anzahl von Echiniden. Sie wurden im Jahre 1854 durch Herklots ¹) beschrieben. Dieser Autor war offenbar von der vorgefassten Meinung ausgegangen, dass es sich hier um eine ganz neue und fremdartige Fauna handele, so war von ihm nur eine ...
