The identity of the freshwater nemertean Prostoma graecense (Böhming, 1892) from Lake Xochimilco is solved 75 years after its first recording. Identification of the specimens was accomplished via both morphological and molecular means, the latter ...

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

Sampling effort to characterize estuarine macroinfaunal communities in patchy habitats
Abstract Estuarine benthic macroinfauna have aggregated, patchy distributions, making accurate community measurements dependent upon sampling scales. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate core sizes and sampling effort needed to characterize benthic infaunal communities in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, USA.

Mitochondrial genome of Parborlasia corrugatus (Nemertea: Lineidae)
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.

ABSTRACT Shore‐based observers are increasingly being used in place of at‐sea observers to monitor and sample commercial fisheries catch. However, few evaluations assess whether these programs meet their stated goals or how to optimize them, and industry data are rarely tested for accuracy despite serving as the foundation for catch accounting. Using a

Direct eDNA metabarcoding is the most scalable method for large benthic monitoring programs, provided that sampling effort is increased to compensate for slightly lower per‐sample biodiversity recovery. ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding offers prospects to assess benthic biodiversity in a more scalable and comprehensive way, but processing methods remain ...

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]
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

Translocating Intact Assemblages to Degraded Sites to Accelerate Ecological Recovery
Estuarine ecosystems are threatened by anthropogenic pressures such as climate change, coastal development, and increased nutrient and sediment inputs. These pressures are deteriorating ecological health and threatening the functioning and services that estuarine ecosystems provide.
