Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the

Late Cenozoic evolution of the latitudinal diversity gradient
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 1213-1220, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim The Late Cenozoic flourishing of polar marine ecosystems, just when temperatures were reaching their lowest levels, has always seemed anomalous. Such an observation is coupled with an increasing volume of molecular phylogenetic evidence to indicate that some polar taxa radiated at exceptionally high evolutionary rates.

Journal of Phycology, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 590-602, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Microphytobenthos (MPB), typically comprised mainly of diatoms, is a key contributor to nearshore energy flow and nutrient cycles. Deposit‐feeding invertebrates are known to alter the structure and activity of MPB. The eastern mud snail Ilyanassa obsoleta can reach extremely high densities in estuaries of the northwestern Atlantic, and their ...

Invertebrate Biology, Volume 141, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Parasitic helminths with complex life cycles require multiple hosts in a particular order to complete their life cycles. Although almost all helminths infect invertebrates at some point in their life cycle, we know very little about which species of invertebrates harbor parasites compared with what is known for vertebrates. In New Zealand, <1%

Neogastropod phylogenetic relationships based on entire mitochondrial genomes
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background The Neogastropoda is a highly diversified group of predatory marine snails (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda). Traditionally, its monophyly has been widely accepted based on several morphological synapomorphies mostly related with the digestive ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Harpovoluta charcoti (Gastropoda: Neogastropoda: Volutidae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Harpovoluta charcoti, a circum-Antarctic species of volutid gastropod inhabiting bathyal soft bottom substrates. The mitogenome is 15,487 bp in length, has a base composition of A (28.3%), T (37.3%),

Origin of the tropical–polar biodiversity contrast
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1207-1227, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim The aim was to investigate the evolutionary origins of the striking biodiversity contrast between high‐ and low‐latitude regions in the present day. Is this a relatively recent phenomenon, causally linked in some way to the greenhouse–icehouse transition and onset of global cooling c.

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Citizen science (CS) expands the spatial and temporal scale of alien species records. As such, it has been recognized as a complementary tool in alien species management and large‐scale biodiversity conservation. The present study assessed the contribution of CS to the recording of marine alien fishes and mollusks in European marine waters by ...

Feeding habits and novel prey of larval fishes in the northern San Francisco Estuary
Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 1059-1080, November 2021., 2021 We used dietary DNA metabarcoding analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene to study the diets of larval fishes in the San Francisco Estuary and found a high level of overlap between the two species primarily dominated by calanoid and cyclopoid copepods.

Marine Drugs, 2015 Nitric oxide (NO) is generated via the oxidation of l-arginine by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS) both in vertebrates and invertebrates. Three NOS isoforms, nNOS, iNOS and eNOS, are known in vertebrates, whereas a single NOS isoform is usually expressed in ...
