Genetic Features of the Scuticociliate Pathogen Philaster sp. Isolate FWC2 That Causes Sea Urchin Mass Mortality

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT A scuticociliate most closely related to Philaster apodigitiformis caused mass mortalities of diadematoid sea urchins and was cultured as Philaster sp. isolate FWC2. We sequenced the metagenomic content of this isolate, which was predicted to represent ≤ 56% of the complete genome.

Environmental Gradients Decouple Demographic and Adaptive Connectivity in a Highly Mobile Coastal Marine Species

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how eco‐evolutionary processes shape genetic variation and persistence in marine species with highly variable recruitment dynamics and dispersal potential remains a fundamental challenge, particularly when considering the interplay between gene flow and local adaptation.

Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 85-114, March 2026.
Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.
