Unravelling Hidden Trophic Interactions Among Sea Urchin Juveniles and Macroinvertebrates by DNA Amplification. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.

Non-Invasive Underwater DNA Sampling Illuminates Red Sea Echinoderm Diversity. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Species‐specific non‐invasive underwater DNA sampling remains largely understudied for marine invertebrates despite its potential to revolutionise biodiversity assessment of vulnerable species or fragile ecosystems. Comprehensive species‐specific DNA barcode databases are essential for accurate species identification and taxonomic assignment ...

BeeGees: A High-Throughput Protein-Coding DNA Barcode Recovery Pipeline Tailored for Genome Skims of Museum Specimens. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Natural history collections are unparalleled archives of global biodiversity, yet most specimens remain molecularly uncharacterised due to the technical challenges of historical DNA (hDNA), including degradation, low endogenous content and contamination.

Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Salinity gradients and fluctuations can create a natural ecological filter, with few species tolerating salinity above 50 practical salinity units (PSUs). We investigated how an inverse salinity gradient affected marine community diversity and composition in Shark Bay, a remote hypersaline coastal embayment in Western Australia.

An exon-capture system for the entire class Ophiuroidea [PDF]
A BSTRACT We present an exon-capture system for an entire class of marine invertebrates, the Ophiuroidea, built upon a phylogenetically diverse transcriptome foundation. The system captures ~90 percent of the 1552 exon target, across all major lineages of the quarter-billion year old
