Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Foundation species facilitate other organisms, but stressors like heatwaves affect their ecology. How facilitative processes are impacted during heatwaves is unknown. Here, heatwaves were experimentally induced with co‐occurring spatiotemporal conditions.

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 960-972, September 2023., 2023 Here, we classified the critical factors that affect an environmental nucleic acids' (eNAs) decay rate constant within a marine environment. By assessing these critical factors, we outlined guidelines targeted towards marine biosecurity practitioners to help calculate accurate decay rates, which aid in building appropriate “fit‐for‐purpose” tools and ...

GIS based mapping of zoanthids along Saurashtra coast, Gujarat, India [PDF]
, 2017 Zooxanthellate zoanthids (or. Zoantharia) are the third largest order of Hexacorallia and are an integral part of the coral reef ecosystem. Worldwide coral reefs will continue to suffer under the synergistic effect of anthropogenic agent and climate ...

An abundant sea anemone from the Carboniferous Mazon Creek Lagerstӓtte, USA
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 2, March/April 2023., 2023 Abstract Sea anemones (Actiniaria) are among the rarest of recognized fossil organisms, even rarer than jellyfish. Here we demonstrate that the most abundant fossil in the Pennsylvanian Mazon Creek Lagerstätte of Illinois, Essexella asherae, is an infaunal or semi‐infaunal anemone. Essexella is redescribed based on a taphonomic analysis of thousands of

Phylogenomic Analyses Support Traditional Relationships within Cnidaria. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Cnidaria, the sister group to Bilateria, is a highly diverse group of animals in terms of morphology, lifecycles, ecology, and development. How this diversity originated and evolved is not well understood because phylogenetic relationships among major ...

Ecological Monographs, Volume 92, Issue 2, May 2022., 2022 Abstract We explored whether parasites are important in kelp forests by examining their effects on a high‐quality, high‐resolution kelp‐forest food web. After controlling for generic effects of network size, parasites affected kelp‐forest food web structure in some ways consistent with other systems.

Morphology and phylogeny of the sea anemone Stichodactyla haddoni (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Actiniaria) from Chabahar Bay, Iran [PDF]
, 2015 Carpet anemones of the genus Stichodactyla are characterized by having no calcium carbonate skeleton, being flattened with rather short tentacles, being exclusively tropical, and being hosts for clown fish species.

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2022 Anemone-like animals belonging to the order Zoantharia are common anthozoans widely distributed from shallow to deep tropical and subtropical waters. Some species are well-known because of their high toxicity due to the presence of palytoxin (PLTX) in their tissues.

Benthic marine calcifiers coexist with CaCO3-undersaturated seawater worldwide [PDF]
, 2016 Ocean acidification and decreasing seawater saturation state with respect to calcium carbonate (CaCO3) minerals have raised concerns about the consequences to marine organisms, especially those building structures made of CaCO3.
