ABSTRACT Aim Marine species ranges are often large, contributing to relatively high community similarity over space, with decreased ranges expected among taxa that have lower dispersal and/or higher substrate requirements. We tested for a weakening of biogeographic structuring among dispersing abyssal taxa along the benthic to holoplanktonic habitat ...

Recruitment patterns of 2 sea cucumber species in a Central Mexican Pacificcoral reef community
Holothurians are nutrient recyclers, bioturbators, and prey for other taxa in diverse marine ecosystems; thus, they directly impact the distributionof organisms with which they are associated.

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Taxonomic composition, distribution and resources of macrobenthos in Peter the Great Bay in 2011
Taxonomic composition, distribution and resources of the macrobenthos within the depth range of 5-230 m are considered on the materials collected by bottom sampler in the survey conducted in Peter the Great Bay in 2011 (233 stations, 400 samples).

Free Sterol Composition of Deep-Sea Holothurian cf.
The free sterol fraction from the deep-sea holothurian Orphnurgus cf glaber Walsh, 1891, has been isolated and studied by GC–MS. Sterols containing Δ 7 , Δ 0 , Δ 5 , polyunsaturated and 5,8-epidioxy modified cores were found.

Holothurian Fucosylated Chondroitin Sulfate [PDF]
Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FucCS) is a structurally distinct glycosaminoglycan found in sea cucumber species. It has the same backbone composition of alternating 4-linked glucuronic acid and 3-linked N-acetyl galactosamine residues within disaccharide repeating units as regularly found in mammalian chondroitin sulfates.

ABSTRACT Hadal environments (> 6000 m ocean depths) are often viewed as isolated locations with high species endemism due to limited dispersal. However, molecular studies continue to reveal greater complexity that questions historical perceptions. Recent population genetic studies focused on scavenging amphipods have identified broadly distributed ...
