Navigating Classical and Nonclassical Realms of Nucleation and Crystallization

Small, Volume 22, Issue 50, 7 September 2026.
Classical nucleation and growth theories have long been foundational, yet recent nonclassical concepts have challenged and refined our understanding of solid‐state genesis. This paradigm shift introduced new, often ambiguous vocabulary. Here, we clarify key concepts, correct common misconceptions, and provide a terminological field guide across systems,

Material Before Morphology: Substrate‐Dependent Mechanical Tuning of Radular Teeth

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 August 2026.
Substrate‐dependent material tuning in Clausilia radular teeth. Closely related taxa retain a conserved gross tooth morphology, but differ in elemental composition and mechanical properties according to feeding substrate. Rock‐associated taxa show increased Ca–Si enrichment and higher stiffness and hardness, especially in the central radular region ...

Feeding in nudibranch larvae [PDF]

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1959
No account exists of the mechanism of food collection of nudibranch larvae, and, in fact, it has been considered unlikely that feeding does take place in these forms. Thorson (1946, p. 275) states ‘Nudibranch larvae will normally take no—or only little—food from the plankton’.

Thermal tolerance plasticity under stress: the impact of a marine heatwave and bleaching in the various life stages of Berghia stephanieae

Frontiers in Marine Science
With the increasing intensity and duration of marine heatwaves (MHW), there has been a corresponding rise in bleaching events. These events cause severe ecological impacts, yet most studies have focused on directly impacted or economically important ...

eDNA Collected by Custom‐Built Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) Reveals Spatio‐Temporal Shifts in Tropical Coral Reef Faunal Communities

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Self‐constructed Unmanned Surface Vehicles were deployed at coral reefs on Reunion Island to capture environmental DNA (eDNA), identifying changes in animal communities depending on the time of day and sampling station. These findings suggest specific sites for high‐frequency, long‐term eDNA monitoring using low‐cost mobile devices.

Expression of a symbiosis-specific gene in Symbiodinium type A1 associated with coral, nudibranch and giant clam larvae [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Symbiodinium are responsible for the majority of primary production in coral reefs and found in a mutualistic symbiosis with multiple animal phyla. However, little is known about the molecular signals involved in the establishment of this symbiosis and ...

Predatory behaviour on Ostracoda: spatial analysis of drill‐hole distribution in relation to shell size and ornamentation

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Palaeobiological evidence of predation on ostracods derives primarily from drill‐hole traces. However, this record is limited to sparse reports and rare quantitative analyses hinder understanding of influence of predator–prey interaction in the evolution of ostracods. Moreover, predation is rarely studied in deep‐water settings.

Nudibranch Systematic Index, second edition [PDF]

, 2009
This is an index of my approximately 7,000 nudibranch reprints and books. I have indexed them only for information concerning systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, & description of taxa.

Observations of Modified Polyps and Polyp Leaves in Sea Pens (Cnidaria: Octocorallia): The Cases of Ptilella and Pennatula

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We describe unusual and mostly unreported morphological traits on colonies of the deep‐water sea pens Ptilella and Pennatula from the Northwest Atlantic, namely the presence of hypertrophied polyps, split polyp leaves, and autozooids budding on the surface of polyp leaves (as opposed to the edges). ABSTRACT Here we describe unusual morphological traits
