The Seasonal Rhythms of Coastal eDNA: Insights Into Biodiversity and Regional Detection Patterns
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.Seasonal variation affects environmental DNA (eDNA) detection, yet its influence on species monitoring remains underexplored. This study examines eDNA detection windows across taxa, primers, and regions, finding that most species have short detection periods (1–2 months) that vary with taxonomy and primer choice. These results underscore the importance

Assessing the Potential of Sponges (Porifera) as Indicators of Ocean Dissolved Si Concentrations
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 We explore the distribution of sponges along dissolved silica (dSi) concentration gradients to test whether sponge assemblages are related to dSi and to assess the validity of fossil sponges as a palaeoecological tool for inferring dSi concentrations of ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Genetic connectivity and local adaptation were examined across the distribution of the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri. Because it occupies an exceptional breadth of freshwater environments across a broad geographic range, this species offers key insights into biogeographic processes shaping genetic structure and adaptation in inland ...

Moving Beyond Morphology: Genomic Insights Into Evolutionary Histories of Haplosclerid Sponges
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 177-194, January 2026.ABSTRACT Accurate taxonomic identification is essential for defining species boundaries and understanding biodiversity. However, this remains challenging for groups where morphological character evolution is poorly understood or diagnostic traits are absent.

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Reishia clavigera, an edible marine gastropod consumed in Asia and used in traditional medicine, was investigated for its secondary metabolite content. Despite its widespread consumption and ethnomedicinal use, no comprehensive study has examined the secondary metabolites from whole‐body extracts.
