The Mitochondrial Genome of the Imperiled Goliath Grouper <i>Epinephelus itajara</i>: Selective Pressures in Protein Coding Genes, Secondary Structure of tRNA Genes, and Phylogenetic Placement. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study presents the complete mitochondrial genome of the critically endangered Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara), totaling 16,561 bp and comprising 13 protein‐coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs. Genomic analysis revealed conserved gene order, A + T‐rich codon usage, and purifying selection across all protein‐coding genes, providing valuable ...

Karyotype characterization and comparison in moray eels (Anguilliformes, Muraenidae).
, 2008 The karyotype of the teleostean Gymnothorax tile was analysed by replication banding in order to clearly identify the homologous chromosomes. The RBG pattern was then compared to those of the other Muraenidae studied (G. unicolor and Muraena helena) and banding homologies of nine chromosome pairs were pointed out.

A new record of the long moray, Gymnothorax longinquus (Actinopterygii: Anguilliformes: Muraenidae), from southern Vietnam, supporting the uncertain record in the Gulf of Thailand [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2020 Five specimens of Gymnothorax longinquus (Whitley, 1948) were collected from a fish market and a fish landing site in Tac Cau and Ha Tien, southern Vietnam. These specimens represent the first record of G.

Challenging trophic position assessments in complex ecosystems: Calculation method, choice of baseline, trophic enrichment factors, season and feeding guild do matter: A case study from Marquesas Islands coral reefs. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAbstract Assessments of ecosystem functioning are a fundamental ecological challenge and an essential foundation for ecosystem‐based management. Species trophic position (TP) is essential to characterize food web architecture. However, despite the intuitive nature of the concept, empirically estimating TP is a challenging task due to the complexity of ...

First record of Baseodiscus mexicanus (Bürger, 1893) (Nemertea: Heteronemertea) from Japanese waters [PDF]
Check List, 2012 The heteronemertean Baseodiscus mexicanus (Bürger, 1893) was previously known exclusively from the eastern Pacific, except for fragmentary records from Palau and Indonesia, which suggested a possible amphi-Pacific tropical distribution. A single specimen
