Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde‐preserved zooplankton time series?

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of amplifiable DNA from formaldehyde‐fixed (FF) zooplankton samples has long been considered problematic, but advances in degraded‐DNA retrieval have renewed interest in FF samples. To access the information stored in long‐term zooplankton time series, we evaluated methods for extracting amplifiable DNA from community samples ...

New species from the deep Pacific suggest that carnivorous sponges date back to the Early Jurassic [PDF]

, 2008
Some deep-sea poecilosclerid sponges (Porifera) have developed a carnivorous feeding habit that is very surprising in sponges^1^. As shown by the typical morphology of their spicules, they most probably evolved from "normal sponges" under the ...

Novos registros da Esponja-de-águadoce Oncosclera jewelli (Volkmer, 1963): Subsídios para a conservação do Rio Camisas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil

Revista Eletrônica Científica da UERGS, 2017
Em 150 milhões de anos, esponjas se adaptaram a diferentes nichos, incluindo águas continentais. Entre 2012 e 2013 realizamos 12 expedições buscando registros de Oncosclera jewelli no nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil.

Sponges from rhodolith beds surrounding Ustica Island marine protected area (southern Tyrrhenian Sea), with a comprehensive inventory of the island sponge fauna

Scientia Marina, 2020
The sponge fauna colonizing rhodolith beds from Ustica Island marine protected area was studied. Moreover, an inventory of the sponge species present along the island’s coasts was carried out for the first time.

Transposon-derived transcription factors across metazoans

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Transposable elements (TE) could serve as sources of new transcription factors (TFs) in plants and some other model species, but such evidence is lacking for most animal lineages. Here, we discovered multiple independent co-options of TEs to generate 788

Porifera

, 2015
Poriferans (sponges) are sessile aquatic (largely marine) animals that are found in almost all benthic habitats. There are an estimated 15,000 species living today, although many have not been described (reviewed in Hooper and Van Soest 2002). The sponge body plan is amongst the simplest in the animal kingdom and lacks nerve and muscle cells and a ...

Characterization of dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate profiles during brain regeneration in Styela plicata

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.

Compromised Refugia: Latitudinal Gradients Mimic Depth and Constrain Subtropical Reef Habitats in the Nilotic Basin

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Deep reefs (25–30 m) were expected to be climate havens for fish fleeing warming shallow waters near Egypt's Nile Delta—but the opposite was observed. As you head south, the reef habitat shifts from primary producers (algae) to filter‐feeding bryozoans, and fish abundance and diversity drop sharply.
