New Sesterterpenes from the Antarctic Sponge Suberites sp.
Marine DrugsChemical investigation of the Antarctic sponge Suberites sp. has previously led to the identification of new suberitane derivatives, some of which show bioactivity toward respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Centrostephanus longispinus (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) is an endemic and protected sea urchin species of the Mediterranean Sea. Another long‐spined sea urchin, Diadema setosum from the Red Sea, entered the Mediterranean Sea in 2006 and rapidly spread throughout the eastern basin. As a keystone competitive grazer, D.

The impact of Rapido trawling for scallops, Pecten jacobaeus (L.), on the benthos of the Gulf of Venice [PDF]
, 1999 Rapido trawls are used to catch sole around the coast of Italy and to catch scallops in the northern Adriatic Sea but little is known about the environmental impact of this gear.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.We present results from a mesocosm experiment testing the utility of marine sponges as natural samplers of eDNA and show the effect of DNA state on the capture and persistence of genetic material. We find a significant interaction between DNA state and sample type, with lower detection and concentration of extracellular DNA, compared to cellular DNA ...

Patterns of Sponge Abundance Across a Gradient of Habitat Quality in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia [PDF]
, 2011 Sponges are important components of reef communities worldwide, fulfilling a number of important functional roles. Habitat degradation caused by the loss of hard corals has the potential to cause increases in sponge abundance and percentage cover as they

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.This study uses eDNA to explore marine biodiversity changes under anthropogenic impacts, with a focus on marine community dynamics. Through the use of eDNA metabarcoding, the research identified 814 ASVs across 617 marine families, noting drastic changes in biological communities over time, with different species dominating during different phases of ...

Exploring depth‐related patterns of sponge diversity and abundance in marginal reefs
Ecology and EvolutionMarine sponges play a vital role in the reef's benthic community; however, understanding how their diversity and abundance vary with depth is a major challenge, especially on marginal reefs in areas deeper than 30 m.

The Mechanisms of Codon Reassignments in Mitochondrial Genetic Codes [PDF]
, 2007 Many cases of non-standard genetic codes are known in mitochondrial genomes. We carry out analysis of phylogeny and codon usage of organisms for which the complete mitochondrial genome is available, and we determine the most likely mechanism for codon ...
