Ectosymbionts of the Sea Anemone Stichodactyla gigantea at Kosrae, Micronesia [PDF]

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016
We studied the ectosymbionts associating with the sea anemone Stichodactyla gigantea at Kosrae, Micronesia. Ectosymbionts of seven species associated with 60.7% of S. gigantea (n=28), with a mean of 2.4 per anemone and 3.9 per occupied anemone.

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

Ecography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Check List of Iran marine Cnidarians (Animalia, Cnidaria) [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2020
There is an urgent need for quality control of marine species data published in domestic journals and open access databases. We extracted 149 accepted Cnidarian species after the quality control process on available published records on the OBIS data ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Distribution under climate change of Anemone coronaria: linking flower colour and seed dispersal

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Flower colour polymorphism is driven by divergent selection regimes on the colour morphs across time and space. Anemone coronaria, a colour‐polymorphic geophyte with red, purple, and white flowers, displays a geographic pattern along Israel's aridity gradient: polymorphic populations are restricted to Mediterranean climates, while monomorphic‐red ...

Insights into the lifestyle and preservation of Arenactinia ipuensis n. gen. et n. sp. (Anthozoa, Actiniaria) from the Early Silurian (Ipu Formation, Parnaíba Basin, Brazil)

Earth History and Biodiversity
Soft-bodied cnidarians are scarce in the fossil record and only a few sea anemones are documented in Paleozoic, mainly in Konservat Lagerstätten. We present a new cnidarian taxon exhibiting wide intraspecific morphological diversity: Arenactinia ipuensis

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

Oikos, EarlyView.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.
