The phylogenetic position of dicyemid mesozoans offers insights into spiralian evolution
Zoological Letters, 2017 Background Obtaining phylogenomic data for enigmatic taxa is essential to achieve a better understanding of animal evolution. Dicyemids have long fascinated biologists because of their highly simplified body organization, but their life-cycles remain ...

Contribution of soft-bodied meiofaunal taxa to Italian marine biodiversity
The European Zoological Journal, 2020 Meiofauna includes an astonishing diversity of organisms, whose census is far from being complete. Most classic ecological studies have focused on hard-bodied Ecdysozoan taxa (notably Copepoda and Nematoda), whose cuticle allows determination at species ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.Across 266 water column samples, COI eDNA metabarcoding detected 4298 eukaryotic MOTUs spanning 40 phyla in the Eastern Red Sea. Community composition varied strongly across depth and regions, revealing hidden biodiversity patterns and providing a baseline for conservation‐oriented monitoring in a future‐ocean analogue.
