Analysis of the Structure and Functioning of the Chudao Oyster Reef Ecosystem in Sanggou Bay, China [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study focuses on the Chudao oyster reef ecosystem in Sanggou Bay, China. By investigating the biodiversity, food web structure, and energy flow, the study aims to provide a basis for further exploring the role of oyster reef in maintaining marine ecological environment. ABSTRACT The Chudao oyster reef in Sanggou Bay, China represents a rare case of

eDNA Metabarcoding Enhances Aquaculture Impact Monitoring Across Microbial and Benthic Metazoan Communities in Understudied Tropical Environments

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Benthic community responses to aquaculture organic matter enrichment remain poorly understood in tropical low‐input farms typical of scattered island socio‐ecosystems. Detecting these responses requires sensitive approaches such as eDNA metabarcoding across multiple biological groups.

Mitochondrial genome of Parborlasia corrugatus (Nemertea: Lineidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
We present the complete mitochondrial genome of the herteronemertean Parborlasia corrugatus. Within the 15,499 bp genome, we were able to recover 13 protein-coding genes as well as two rRNA and 22 tRNA.

Ribbon worm relationships: a phylogeny of the phylum Nemertea [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003
We present the most extensive phylogenetic analysis to date, to our knowledge, of higher-level nemertean relationships, based on sequence data from four different genes (the nuclear genes for nuclear large subunit rRNA (28S rRNA) and histone H3 (H3), and the mitochondrial genes for mitochondrial large subunit rRNA (16S rRNA) and cytochrome c oxidase ...

Exploring Mesophotic Coral Reef Boundaries Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding reveals boundaries along depth gradients in shallow and mesophotic coral reefs. Analysis of metazoan amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) uncovers changes in community structure from shallow to deep reefs, highlighting a localized eDNA footprint and its potential for monitoring mesophotic and deep‐sea habitats ...

Progress and Challenges in Phylogenomics and Genomics of Lophotrochozoa/Spiralia

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 521-544, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Lophotrochozoa is one of the three major bilaterian groups comprising more than half of the bilaterian phyla. Lophotrochozoa includes among others Mollusca, Annelida, Platyhelminthes and Rotifera. Despite representing such a large proportion of animal diversity, they are historically understudied and genomic resources have been scarce. However,

A nemertean excitatory peptide/CCHamide regulates ciliary swimming in the larvae of Lineus longissimus

Frontiers in Zoology, 2019
Background The trochozoan excitatory peptide (EP) and its ortholog, the arthropod CCHamide, are neuropeptides that are only investigated in very few animal species. Previous studies on different trochozoan species focused on their physiological effect in

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

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

A global assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren: Functional consistency with depth

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Lebensspuren—sedimentary traces produced by benthic organisms—are widespread on deep‐sea floors but remain infrequently reported from abyssal (~ 3000–6000) and hadal (> 6000 m) environments. Here, we present the most comprehensive assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren to date, spanning multiple ocean basins and reaching full‐ocean
