The tooth morphologies of three nudibranch gastropods were studied by scanning electron microscopy and the autofluorescence by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The mechanical properties of teeth and their coatings were identified by nanoindentation.

Seasonal variations of the vagile fauna associated with Ectopleura crocea (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) in El Rompido marina (Huelva) [PDF]
El desarrollo urbano en las zonas costeras se ha visto incrementado notablemente en los últimos años, resultando en un mayor número de estructuras artificiales en los ambientes marinos. Diversos organismos han sido capaces de colonizar las superficies

Ecosystem vulnerability to alien and invasive species: a case study on marine habitats along the Italian coast [PDF]
1. Spread of alien species (AS) is a serious threat to marine habitats and analysis of principal descriptors of their occurrence is pivotal to set reliable conservation strategies. 2. In order to assess the susceptibility of marine habitats to biological

Can niche plasticity mediate species persistence under ocean acidification?
Our research reveals how elevated CO2 levels impact multidimensional niches of benthic fishes, crucial for predicting species persistence in a changing ocean. By assessing niche breadth, overlap and shifts, we offer insights into species' responses to climate change stressors, advancing our understanding of ecological resilience in altered environments.

Cell death in bryophytes: emerging models to study core regulatory modules and conserved pathways [PDF]
This review summarizes recent progress in our current understanding of the mechanisms underlying the cell death pathways in bryophytes, focusing on conserved pathways and particularities in comparison to angiosperms.

In this paper we analyzed the swimming speed, effective velocity, effective displacement index (EDI) and proficiency of juvenile to adult specimens (ranging from 1.1 to 36 mm of the diagonal bell width) of the box jellyfish Carybdea marsupialis. Abstract Although usually considered part of the plankton, cubozoans are strong swimmers.

Abstract The Venus flytrap sea anemone Actinoscyphia liui inhabits the nutrient‐limited deep ocean in the tropical western Pacific. Compared with most other sea anemones, it has undergone a distinct modification of body shape similar to that of the botanic flytrap.

How to engineer a habitable planet: the rise of marine ecosystem engineers through the Phanerozoic
Abstract Ecosystem engineers are organisms that modify their physical habitats in a way that alters resource availability and the structure of the communities they live in. The evolution of ecosystem engineers over the course of Earth history has thus been suggested to have been a driver of macroevolutionary and macroecological changes that are ...

Spatial Relation of Stem Hydroids to Branch Hydroids in Four Pleurocarpous Mosses [PDF]
The anatomy of branch and main stem connections, with respect to the spatial relation of central strands, was studied in four species of pleurocarpous mosses: Climacium americanum, Climacium dendroides, Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, and Rhytidium rugosum ...
