The Geonemertes problem (Nemertea) [PDF]
Journal of Zoology, 1981 A new genus of monostiliferous hoplonemerteans, Pantinonemertes gen. nov., provides evidence for the separate evolution of terrestrial nemerteans. The genus is established for two new species found in Australia, P. enalios sp. nov., an intertidal form, and P. winsori sp.

Ecology and Reproduction of Bunodeopsis in Tropical Northwestern Atlantic Seagrass Ecosystems
Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT The seagrass ecosystems of the Tropical Northwestern Atlantic (TNA) host three described species of sea anemones in the genus Bunodeopsis Andres, 1881 (Enthemonae: Metridioidea: Acuticulata): B. antilliensis, B. globulifera, and B. pelagica.

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT Diverse invertebrate communities inhabiting carbonate rocks at methane seeps may rely on a mix of local chemosynthetic production and sinking photosynthetic organic matter, with relative importance shaped by environmental conditions. We investigate the contribution of chemosynthetic carbon to macrofaunal diets at six Southern California ...

The Seasonal Rhythms of Coastal eDNA: Insights Into Biodiversity and Regional Detection Patterns
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.Seasonal variation affects environmental DNA (eDNA) detection, yet its influence on species monitoring remains underexplored. This study examines eDNA detection windows across taxa, primers, and regions, finding that most species have short detection periods (1–2 months) that vary with taxonomy and primer choice. These results underscore the importance

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.Across 266 water column samples, COI eDNA metabarcoding detected 4298 eukaryotic MOTUs spanning 40 phyla in the Eastern Red Sea. Community composition varied strongly across depth and regions, revealing hidden biodiversity patterns and providing a baseline for conservation‐oriented monitoring in a future‐ocean analogue.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.How does the local species richness (LSR) of stream invertebrate communities relate to the terrestrial productivity of the stream catchment? Using generalized linear models and variance partitioning, we quantified the independent and joint effects of local and catchment predictors on LSR of hyporheic invertebrate communities in New Caledonia streams ...

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1422-1459, December 2025.ABSTRACT With the possibility of deep‐sea mining of mineral resources occurring, it is necessary to understand potential impacts on benthic communities. Previous simulated mining experiments revealed direct benthic impacts; however, indirect impacts of sedimentation are not well understood.

Wetland biodiversity in Aotearoa New Zealand: an eDNA perspective on exotic and non‐exotic species
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 410-427, December 2025.ABSTRACT Invasive species threaten biodiversity in Aotearoa New Zealand. In wetlands − significant sites that provide an array of ecosystem and cultural services but represent <10% of their original extent − invasive species can affect hydrological function, nutrient regimes and overall ecological functionality.

Biological surveys reveal unexpectedly high faunal diversity at Nankai Trough methane seeps
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Cold seeps are chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems powered by microbial primary production that support diverse and specialized faunal assemblages in the deep sea. Despite Nankai Trough in Japan being a geologically active margin hosting numerous seeps, much of the faunal diversity remains undocumented.

Ship hull fouling in the port of Recife, Pernambuco
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2007 Ports of big coastal cities are exposed to exotic species as a consequence of shipping traffic. As the Port of Recife receives an annual average of 491 ships from other regions of Brazil and from all over the world, this work was aimed at knowing which ...
