Latitudinal Gradients of Species Richness in Marine Benthos: Insights From Japan's Tidal Flat Areas
Latitudinal diversity gradients in species richness were observed in the coasts of Japan. Extensive tidal flats and biogeographical connectivity to the Eurasian Continent may cause the unexpected peak in species diversity at the Kyushu region. Mollusca was the dominant taxonomic group, followed by Malacostraca, Annelida, and other benthic groups ...

A new species and a new record of Cirratulidae (Annelida, Cirratulida) from Loki’s Castle vent field
Deep-sea research is a very active field in which environments such as hydrothermal vents are of particular interest because they host a unique and often endemic fauna. In this paper, we describe a new species of the genus Caulleriella Chamberlin, 1919 (

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina
This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...
