Morphological and DNA sequencing studies of Varunidae specimens, previously considered to belong to the genus Asthenognathus, from eastern Atlantic waters have allowed the description of two new genera and two new species. From a molecular point of view, it is shown that they belong to a new subfamily, distinct from Asthenognathinae and that there are ...

Systematics, biology, ecology And zoogeography of holothurians: Ecology of commercially important Holothurians of India [PDF]
A knowledge of the ecology of holothurians is important for proper exploitation of the resource. Species like Holothuria (Metriatyla) scabra, Holothuria (Thelothuria) spinifera are distributed on sandy beds with algae in shallow waters.

Cyclophosphamide (CTX), a chemotherapy agent, can impair immune responses and disrupt gut microbiota, leading to dysbiosis and inflammation. This study evaluated the effects of scallop peptide hydrolysate (SCH) on immune suppression and gut microbiota in BALB/c mice treated with CTX.

The cell density-dependent mechanism, quorum sensing (QS), regulates the expression of virulence factors. Its inhibition has been proposed as a promising new strategy to prevent bacterial pathogenicity.

A Rare British Holothurian [PDF]
OF the six species of Holothurians with shield-shaped tentacles (the Aspidochirotae) that are known to occur on the shores of the North Atlantic Ocean, two—H. obscura and H. agglututinata—were so shortly described by Le Sueur as to be still, strange to American naturalists; no definite statement as to the presence of a true, that is, aspidochirote ...

Macrofaunal contributions to benthic nutrient fluxes revealed by radium disequilibrium
Abstract The benthic flux of nutrients underpins marine food webs, influences conditions for life in the oceans, and contributes to climatic feedback. Estimates of these fluxes' contributions to macro‐ and micronutrient cycles are, however, highly variable, generating significant uncertainty in biogeochemical models.

Holothurian toxin as a poison to eradicate undesirable organisms from fish farms [PDF]
Eradication of predators and undesirable organisms from fish ponds and farms is an important operatipn in any culture practice. Hitherto various chemicals and extracts from plants are being used for this purpose.

Food‐webs are a major component of ecosystems and determinant for their functioning and structure. The food chain length (FCL) is a key feature of food‐webs and it is crucial for the resistance of the community to external stressors. The Southern Ocean (SO) food‐web is known for being short and dominated by an Antarctic krill Euphausia superba surplus,

Holothurian sclerites of Carnian strata in the Mežica area, Slovenia
The paper presents holothurian sclerites from the 2nd clastic horizon of the “Raibl Beds” in the Mežica area. Thefauna is dominated by genus Theelia, represented by T. immisorbicula Mostler, T. planorbicula Mostler and T.
