The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major

Recovery at Morvin: SERPENT final report [PDF]
, 2010 Recovery from disturbance is poorly understood in deep water, but the extent of anthropogenic impacts is becoming increasingly well documented. We used Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) to visually assess the change in benthic habitat after exploratory ...

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Haplosyllis is a worldwide distributed genus of marine annelids, commonly associated with other invertebrates. Its characteristic simple bidentate chaetae have often led to mistakes in estimating the real diversity of the genus. Currently, Haplosyllis includes 38 species, nearly half of which inhabit the Indo‐West Pacific (IPW).
