Rule-based semi-automated tools for mapping seabed morphology from bathymetry data

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Seabed morphology maps and data are critical for knowledge-building and best practice management of marine environments. To facilitate objective and repeatable production of these maps, we have developed a number of semi-automated, rule-based GIS tools ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of the hydrothermal vent barnacle Eochionelasmus ohtai (Cirripedia, Thoracica)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
Thoracican barnacles are common in hydrothermal vent fields. Here, we characterized the first mitogenome of a hydrothermal vent barnacle. The mitogenome of Eochionelasmus ohtai was 15,585 bp in length and had the typical pancrustacean gene arrangement ...
