The distribution of coastal fish eDNA sequences in the Anthropocene
Abstract Aim Coastal fishes have a fundamental role in marine ecosystem functioning and contributions to people, but face increasing threats due to climate change, habitat degradation and overexploitation. The extent to which human pressures are impacting coastal fish biodiversity in comparison with geographic and environmental factors at large spatial

Late Cenozoic evolution of the latitudinal diversity gradient
Abstract Aim The Late Cenozoic flourishing of polar marine ecosystems, just when temperatures were reaching their lowest levels, has always seemed anomalous. Such an observation is coupled with an increasing volume of molecular phylogenetic evidence to indicate that some polar taxa radiated at exceptionally high evolutionary rates.

Abstract To understand the current feeding habits of spotted seals, this study estimates feeding strategies based on region, season, growth stage, and sex through the results of stomach content analyses, and compares its findings with feeding habits of the past. As a result of permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA), region, season,

We evaluated the sampling effort for the metabarcoding‐based detection of fish eDNA in the subtropical and subarctic northwestern Pacific Ocean and Arctic Chukchi Sea. The results suggested that tens of replicates or a substantial filtration volume were required to fully describe the species diversity in the open ocean, and in most cases, the turnover ...

Pathways to polar adaptation in fishes revealed by long‐read sequencing
Abstract Long‐read sequencing is driving a new reality for genome science in which highly contiguous assemblies can be produced efficiently with modest resources. Genome assemblies from long‐read sequences are particularly exciting for understanding the evolution of complex genomic regions that are often difficult to assemble.

Abstract Aim Greenland is one of the places on Earth where the effects of climate change are most evident. The retreat of sea ice has made East Greenland more accessible for longer periods during the year. East Greenland fjords have been notoriously difficult to study due to their remoteness, dense sea ice conditions and lack of infrastructure.

Evolutionary time and species diversity in aquatic ecosystems worldwide
ABSTRACT The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is frequently described as the most dramatic biodiversity pattern on Earth, yet ecologists and biogeographers have failed to reach consensus on its primary cause. A key problem in explaining the LDG involves collinearity between multiple factors that are predicted to affect species richness in the same ...

Snailfishes of the Careproctus rastrinus complex (Liparidae): redescriptions of seven species in the North Pacific Ocean region, with the description of a new species from the Beaufort Sea. [PDF]
Herein we review and recognize as valid all previously described species of the Careproctus rastrinus complex based on morphological evidence, provide diagnoses and descriptions of all species, describe a new species from the Beaufort Sea, and address ...

Abstract Long‐lived top predators shape biodiversity structure in their ecosystems and predator–prey interactions are critical in decoding how communities function. Studies on the foraging ecology of seals and Eurasian otters in Western Europe are outdated and most studies solely performed traditional hard part analysis.
