Frontiers in Marine ScienceIntroductionThe evolutionary history and biogeographic assembly of deep-sea Ophiuroidea remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to clarify the origin, spatial evolution, and long-term assembly of deep-sea ophiuroid diversity through an ...

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 988-1005, July 2026.This study shows that incorporating 5–10 wt.% Posidonia oceanica , with or without micro‐talc, in PBSA preserves thermal stability, modifying crystallization behavior, and maintains good filler dispersion and interfacial adhesion. Mechanical properties are moderately stiffened. ABSTRACT This study investigates the use of Posidonia oceanica (PO) leaves,

Ophiuroids Discovered in the Middle Triassic Hypersaline Environment
PLoS ONE, 2012 Echinoderms have long been considered to be one of the animal phyla that is strictly marine. However, there is growing evidence that some recent species may live in either brackish or hypersaline environments. Surprisingly, discoveries of fossil echinoderms in non-(open)marine paleoenvironments are lacking.

A late Maastrichtian "out-of-the-ordinary" ophiuroid from The Netherlands [PDF]
, 1995 A tetramerous specimen of a new late Maastrichtian ophiuroid species from the Meerssen Member (Maastricht Formation) as exposed at the ENCI NV quarry, south of Maastricht, is described and briefly discussed.

Synergic effects of tryptamine and octopamine on ophiuroid luminescence (Echinodermata).
, 2004 In ophiuroids, bioluminescence is under nervous control. Previous studies have shown that acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter triggering light emission in Amphipholis squamata and Amphiura filiformis.

DiversitySeverely understudied and poorly known ultra-abyssal (hadal) brittle-stars of the genus Abyssura were collected during a recent expedition to the Japan Trench at depths between 6183 and 6539 m and were examined for the first time for both their molecular

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 639-651, July 2026.ABSTRACT Hadal environments (> 6000 m ocean depths) are often viewed as isolated locations with high species endemism due to limited dispersal. However, molecular studies continue to reveal greater complexity that questions historical perceptions. Recent population genetic studies focused on scavenging amphipods have identified broadly distributed ...

A note on an early Jurassic ophiuroid from Rachecourt (Lorraine, Belgium) [PDF]
, 1996 A fairly well-preserved ophiuroid, collected from micaceous sandy argillites of the Messaney Formation (Domerian, late Pliensbachian) as exposed at Rachecourt (Gaume, Belgian Lorraine) is described and tentatively identified as Sinosura wolburgi (Hess ...
