The Hox-TALE has been wagging for a long time [PDF]
Hox and TALE proteins interact in a sea anemone, just as they do in flies and mice, indicating that the Hox-TALE system originated very early in animal evolution.Peer ...

A Spectacular Northeast Pacific Invasion by a Low Genetic Diversity Parasite, Orthione Griffenis
This study examined the genetic structure of the invasive isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis, between Morro Bay, California, and Ketchikan, Alaska, using ddRAD sequencing and estimated its larval dispersal range from laboratory‐based survival tests. There was a lack of genetic diversity, structure, and isolation by distance across O.

eDNA Metabarcoding Applications Across Italian Marine Coastal Ecosystems: An Overview
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding enhances our ability to protect marine habitats through an integrative assessment of the environmental health status. Here, we provide a time‐based overview of the applications of the eDNA metabarcoding methodology in the Italian marine and coastal ecosystems.

Invasion dynamics of the alien ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi and its impact on anchovy collapse in the Black Sea [PDF]
The mechanisms governing the unprecedented 1989-90 anchovy-Mnemiopsis shift event in the Black Sea were evaluated with a coupled model of bioenergetic-based anchovy population dynamics and lower trophic food web structure.

We assessed eDNA metabarcoding from surface water, bottom water, and sediment as well as zooplankton metabarcoding for their applicability to identify the known decline in invertebrate diversity along salinity gradients. All approaches identified regional communities, but with varying explanatory power, with none of these methods being able to ...

The Comb Jelly Mnemiopsis Leidyi in the Black Sea
Following its transportation in ballast waters, the western Atlantic ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi caused a striking damage to the ecosystem of the Black Sea in the early 1990s.

The ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi regulates egg production via conspecific communication
Background Communication between individuals of the same species is an important aspect of mating and reproduction in most animals. In simultaneously hermaphroditic species with the ability to self-fertilize, communication with conspecifics can be ...

Evolutionary origin of the nervous system from Ctenophora prospective
This review discusses the evolutionary origin of the nervous system in light of the latest findings in the neuroscience of Ctenophora, one of the most enigmatic and earliest diverging animal lineages. Abstract Nervous system is one of the key adaptations underlying the evolutionary success of the majority of animal groups. Ctenophores (or comb jellies)

Invasion genomics of lionfish in the Mediterranean Sea
Lionfish are well‐known for having invaded the Caribbean with devastating ecological effects. Here we study the genomics of a recent invasion of lionfish in the Mediterranean, coming from the Red Sea via the Suez Canal. We found that genetic diversity has not declined during the invasion phase, and some genes potentially under selection may have ...
