Unravelling Hidden Trophic Interactions Among Sea Urchin Juveniles and Macroinvertebrates by DNA Amplification. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.

Geographic Variation in Diet and Genetic Connectivity of Populations of the Widespread Predatory Cone Snail <i>Conus miliaris</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe examined patterns of dietary and genetic variation of a broadly distributed, Indo‐West Pacific cone snail at four sites in French Polynesia and compared them to populations at Guam, American Samoa, and Rapa Nui. Our results indicate that populations at French Polynesia possess broad and overlapping diets that are most similar to those of Rapa Nui ...

From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Blue plaque review series: Dr. Florence Buchanan: A trailblazing physiologist in an era of barriers and breakthroughs. [PDF]
Exp PhysiolAbstract What do Charles Darwin, T.H. Huxley, August Krogh and Charles Sherrington have in common? Florence Buchanan – a name history has unjustly dimmed but never erased. Her academic lineage is a direct thread through the titans of biology: E. Ray Lankester mentored her after being shaped by Huxley, Darwin's celebrated protégé.

Revisiting the Spawning Pattern of Nyale Worms (Eunicidae) Using the Metonic Cycle
Ilmu Kelautan, 2021 Mass spawning dates of nyale worms (Eunicidae) have been scientifically predictable since 2019. The month of spawning is consistently following the pattern of the February full moon, while the date of spawning is consistently on the 20th of the lunar ...

Gaps and Data Ambiguities in DNA Reference Libraries: A Limiting Factor for Molecular-Based Biodiversity Assessments Using Annelids as a Case Study. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRegional DNA reference libraries are crucial for molecular biodiversity assessments, yet they remain incomplete, limiting their effectiveness. Using annelids from the Arabian Peninsula as a case study, we identified considerable gaps in species coverage and minimal representation in public databases.
