Between the Poles: Rethinking Global Patterns in Sea Anemone Biodiversity
ABSTRACT Aim To assess global sampling coverage of sea anemones and global species richness across four different spatial resolutions, and analyse these along latitudinal gradients to investigate true bimodality and the extent to which these patterns have been influenced by uneven sampling efforts. Location The study encompasses a global scale.

Repeated hurricane disturbance has minimal impact on shallow coastal infaunal communities
Abstract Disturbances are important drivers of seafloor community structure and diversity, especially in sediment infaunal communities with limited mobility. Shallow coastal sediment communities contribute to global nutrient cycling and carbon storage but also experience large‐scale disturbances, including storms.

Spatiotemporal eDNA Monitoring of Marine Biodiversity in a Hyperurbanised Coastal Environment
Using environmental DNA and a metabarcoding approach, we amplified and sequenced the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene for invertebrates and the 16S rRNA gene for vertebrates. Our spatiotemporal analyses over a year and across four sites in Singapore revealed distinct communities between sites and timepoints for both the COI and 16S rRNA assays ...

Abstract The stomach‐less cunner wrasse (Tautogolabrus adspersus) has been experimentally used as a biological control agent for salmon lice that infest Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and to remove biofouling inside sea cages. The cunner demonstrates a strong population structure, suggesting that its diet, and therefore its usefulness for biological ...
