The genome of the giant Nomura’s jellyfish sheds light on the early evolution of active predation

BMC Biology, 2019
Background Unique among cnidarians, jellyfish have remarkable morphological and biochemical innovations that allow them to actively hunt in the water column and were some of the first animals to become free-swimming.

A UAV‐based deep learning pipeline for intertidal macrobenthos monitoring: Behavioral and age classification in Tachypleus tridentatus

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The endangered tri‐spine horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus), a “living fossil” crucial to coastal ecology and biomedical research, is experiencing severe population declines. Effective conservation requires efficient monitoring, which traditional methods cannot deliver at scale. We develop an integrated UAV deep learning framework tailored to this

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

The Bright Side of Gelatinous Blooms: Nutraceutical Value and Antioxidant Properties of Three Mediterranean Jellyfish (Scyphozoa)

Marine Drugs, 2015
Jellyfish are recorded with increasing frequency and magnitude in many coastal areas and several species display biological features comparable to the most popular Asiatic edible jellyfish.

Jellyfish blooms restructure plankton dynamics and trophic linkages in coastal waters

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Jellyfish blooms are increasing globally in frequency and intensity, introducing complex ecological interactions, yet the mechanisms by which they alter ecosystem structure remain poorly characterized due to a lack of sustained field observations.

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Becoming monstrous: Beauty norms, body image, and discursive limits on compassion in The Substance

Nutrition &Dietetics, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim This study analyses the Hollywood body horror film The Substance to explore how Western beauty culture regulates emotions and bodies. It aims to explore compassion within dominant body image discourses and considers how this impacts dietetic care. Methods Using Foucauldian discourse analysis informed by affect theory, the film was analysed

Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.
