Abstract Aim We studied molecular eukaryotic biodiversity patterns in shallow hard‐bottom Antarctic benthic communities using community DNA metabarcoding. Polar ecosystems are extremely exposed to climate change, and benthic macroinvertebrate communities have demonstrated rapid response to a range of natural and anthropogenic pressures.

Coral rubble dynamics in the Anthropocene and implications for reef recovery
Abstract With rubble predicted to increase on coral reefs worldwide, we review the physical, biological, and ecological dynamics of rubble beds, with a focus on how rubble generation, mobilization, binding, and coral recruitment is expected to change on future reefs. Major disturbances, including storms and coral bleaching, are predicted to increase in

In coral reefs, changes towards communities dominated by other than hard corals are increasing in frequency, with severe impacts on the ecosystems. Here, we performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to analyse the coral reef benthic community changes reported to date and discuss the advantages and limitations of the methods used. Our results show

During embryogenesis, organisms with lecithotrophic indirect development usually accu- mulate large quantities of energetic reserves in the form of yolk that are necessary for larval survival. Since all sponges have lecithotrophic development, yolk formation is an ineludible step of their embryogenesis.
