Quantitative composition and distribution of the macrobenthic invertebrate fauna of the Continental Shelf ecosystems of the Northeastern United States [PDF]

, 1998
From the mid-1950's to the mid-1960's a series of quantitative surveys of the macrobenthic invertebrate fauna were conducted in the offshore New England region (Maine to Long Island, New York).

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.

First record of Euborlasia nigrocincta Coe, 1940 (Nemertea: Heteronemertea) from the western Pacific [PDF]

Check List, 2013
The heteronemertean Euborlasia nigrocincta Coe, 1940 was previously known exclusively from the eastern Pacific. A specimen collected on the Izu Peninsula, Honshu, Japan, herein identified as E. nigrocincta, represents the first record of the species from

Seismic Disturbance, Productivity and Depth Shape Hadal Benthic Habitats and Biodiversity in the Japan, Ryukyu and Izu‐Ogasawara Trenches (Northwest Pacific Ocean)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This study characterises benthic habitats and associated biodiversity in three Japanese subduction trenches, and explores the effects of trench‐specific differences in large‐scale seismic events, disturbance and productivity regimes on habitat structure and assemblage composition.

A model‐based assessment of anthropogenic disturbance on lotic macroinvertebrate assemblages

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Traditionally, the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on biological assemblages are elucidated by comparing an assemblage observed at a site to one that represents a minimally disturbed state. Unfortunately, defining a minimally disturbed state is extremely challenging because of the extent of human disturbance.

Taxon‐specific BLAST percent identity thresholds for identification of unknown sequences using metabarcoding

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2380-2394, October 2025.
Abstract The identification of organisms in environmental samples using metabarcoding relies on factors such as taxonomic assignment methods, genetic markers, reference databases and confidence thresholds for taxonomic assignment. Because lineages evolve at different rates, a global threshold (e.g.

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 ...

The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2084-2098, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major

Mussel Community Studies [Year One]. [PDF]

, 1978
Mytilus californianus communities (mussel beds) were examined from six geographic localities in Southern California. These included two mainland sites, Coal Oil Point and San Diego; and four island sites, San Miguel, Santa Cruz, San Nicholas, and Santa ...
