When Two Species Meet: A Potential Beetle‐Yeast Facultative Mutualism
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.A Cyberlidnera yeast was discovered within galleries formed by Spermophthorus apuleiae beetles in the fruits of Ironwood trees. We hypothesise this association is a non‐obligate mutualism. Non‐obligatory as partners are not always found together, and mutualistic, as the beetles increase the yeast's density in the fruits, while the yeast produces ...

Synthesis and Hypoglycemic Effect of Insulin from the Venom of Sea Anemone Exaiptasia diaphana
Marine DrugsSea anemone venom, abundant in protein and peptide toxins, serves primarily for predatory defense and competition. This study delves into the insulin-like peptides (ILPs) present in sea anemones, particularly focusing on their role in potentially ...

Between the Poles: Rethinking Global Patterns in Sea Anemone Biodiversity
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Aim To assess global sampling coverage of sea anemones and global species richness across four different spatial resolutions, and analyse these along latitudinal gradients to investigate true bimodality and the extent to which these patterns have been influenced by uneven sampling efforts. Location The study encompasses a global scale.

Genome Biology, 2018 Background Despite the biological and economic significance of scleractinian reef-building corals, the lack of large molecular datasets for a representative range of species limits understanding of many aspects of their biology.

Cold-water coral reef frameworks, megafaunal communities and evidence for coral carbonate mounds on the Hatton Bank, north east Atlantic [PDF]
, 2008 Offshore banks and seamounts sustain diverse megafaunal communities, including framework reefs formed by cold-water corals. Few studies have quantified environmental effects on the alpha or beta diversity of these communities.

Effects of the Qinling‐Daba Mountains as Ecological Corridor on Patterns of Plant Distribution
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.The Qinling‐Daba Mountains serve as a complex transition zone with high biodiversity. They actually also act as a significant ecological corridor between the Tibetan Plateau and the East China plains, but this almost has not been addressed. This study aims to investigate the corridor effect in the study area and its contribution to the biodiversity ...

Morphology and phylogeny of the sea anemone Stichodactyla haddoni (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Actiniaria) from Chabahar Bay, Iran [PDF]
, 2015 Carpet anemones of the genus Stichodactyla are characterized by having no calcium carbonate skeleton, being flattened with rather short tentacles, being exclusively tropical, and being hosts for clown fish species.

Mutualism with sea anemones triggered the adaptive radiation of clownfishes
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 BackgroundAdaptive radiation is the process by which a single ancestral species diversifies into many descendants adapted to exploit a wide range of habitats.
