Macroid Formation in Salmacina stellaebayensis n. sp. From Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile With New Insights on Mitogenome Evolution in Serpulidae (Annelida)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We describe Salmacina stellaebayensis n. sp. from Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile and provide the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus Salmacina. The species forms distinctive macroid colonies in Cymodocea nodosa seagrass meadows, offering new insights into serpulid life history and habitat specialization.

Demographic Models and Behavioral Assessments Uncover Distinct Species Histories in the Pseudocryptic Nudibranch Genus Hermissenda

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We reconstructed the speciation history of the recently split pseudocryptic nudibranch genus Hermissenda, finding divergence times in the Pleistocene (1.29–0.55 mya). Demographic modeling and behavioral experiments show no gene flow and assortative mating between sympatric species H. crassicornis (s.s.) and H.

A review of autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) for monitoring hard‐bottom benthic biodiversity

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 435-455, February 2026.
Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (

ВЕРТИКАЛНА ДИНАМИКА НА МАКРОЗООБЕНТОСА ПО ПРОФИЛ ЕМИНЕ (ЗАПАДЕН ЧЕРНОМОРСКИ РЕГИОН)

open access: yesЖивотновъдни науки, 2013
Investigations of macrozoobenthos at a distance of the coat 1-10 miles along Emine transect were carried out in 2009 aiming to study the vertical dynamics of its quantitative parameters in comparison to the eutrophicated period.

The molluscan assemblages inhabiting the leaves and rhizomes of a deep water Posidonia oceanica settlement in the central Tyrrhenian Sea

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2012
The molluscan assemblages inhabiting the leaf and rhizome layers of Posidonia oceanica were studied in a deep water (–24/26 m) settlement of a highly heterogeneous substratum on an off-shore reef in the central Tyrrhenian Sea.

Cryptofauna Associated With the Epilithic Algal Matrix on Subtropical Brazilian Reefs

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The epilithic algal matrix (EAM) plays a significant role in the benthic cover of reefs worldwide. In Brazil, the EAM accounts for a substantial proportion of the benthos, and its associated fauna contributes to the majority of the reef's metazoan biodiversity and is an important link into the trophic chain, connecting the production performed

La región ibero-balear, una de las áreas de mayor diversidad de Hydrobiidae (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia, Rissooidea) en Europa

open access: yesGraellsia, 2003
La familia Hydrobiidae Troschel, 1857 de moluscos prosobranquios, tiene distribución cosmopolita y está constituida por especies de tamaño pequeño (o incluso diminuto) que habitan ecosistemas acuáticos permanentes.

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 3, 19 January 2026.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Evaluating Prey Availability for the Rice's Whale (Balaenoptera ricei) Based on Environmental DNA

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
To characterize the prey community of the critically endangered Rice's whale, we employed environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding in its core habitat. Our multi‐marker approach detected significantly greater fish biodiversity than concurrent trawl surveys and revealed a higher prevalence of key prey taxa.
