open access: yesEcol Evol
Morphological and DNA sequencing studies of Varunidae specimens, previously considered to belong to the genus Asthenognathus, from eastern Atlantic waters have allowed the description of two new genera and two new species.

Capturing drifting species and molecules—Lessons learned from integrated approaches to assess marine metazoan diversity in highly dynamic waters

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1541-1556, November 2023., 2023
By using an integrated morphological and genetic approach, we validated eDNA and zooplankton metabarcoding as a holistic approach to reliably identify marine metazoan fauna in highly dynamic waters of the North Sea. COI metabarcoding outperformed 18S V4 metabarcoding in terms of the number of detected species.

Morphosyntactic Contact in Translation: Greek ídios and Latin proprius in the Bible

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 404-426, November 2023., 2023

A few centuries earlier, post‐Classical Greek witnesses a similar development with the adjective ídios ‘private’, ‘personal ...

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 2, Page 169-202, July 2023., 2023
Abstract In this paper, we examine the behaviour of so‐called passive and middle aorist forms in the Greek reflected in the Genesis of the Septuagint. The Septuagint, and Biblical Greek more generally, displays a considerable aberration with respect to other varieties of Ancient Greek regarding the relative frequency of passive vis‐à‐vis middle aorist ...

ABSTRACT In this article, I offer a rereading of Reinhart Koselleck that puts his work at the center of ongoing debates about how to write histories that can account for humanity's changed and changing relationship to our natural environment—or, in geological terms, to our planet.

Nutritional grouping of marine forage species reveals contrasted exposure of high trophic levels to essential micro‐nutrients

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2022, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
By transferring energy and nutrients from plankton to top predators, forage species play a major ecological role in marine food webs. While large differences in energy densities have been demonstrated among these species, other determinants of their quality remain poorly explored.
