Metagenomic Insights Into Red Sea Biodiversity Across the Web of Life
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.Deep‐sequencing shotgun metagenomics of Red Sea benthic sediments reveals biodiversity across the web of life, from viruses to animals. Despite the strong dominance of prokaryotic DNA, low‐abundance eukaryotic reads capture broad taxonomic diversity. Open‐ocean communities are primarily structured by depth, whereas coastal eukaryotic communities follow

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

Ocurrence of Cryptosporidium spp. in Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis, Natterer, 1883) [PDF]
Biotemas, 2007 The apicomplexa protozoa Cryptosporidium infects several mammals, including terrestrial and aquatic species. In the epidemiology of this infection, the ingestion of water and/or food contamined with oocysts comprises the main mechanism of transmission to

Multi‐Omics Unveils the Dual‐Life of the Aquatic Plant Potamogeton nodosus
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Heterophylly, characterized by distinct leaf morphologies, is an adaptive strategy evolved by some aquatic plants to cope with the contrasting environments in which they grow. It is shaped by environmental factors and by hormones, particularly abscisic and gibberellic acids.

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.Abstract Marine mammals can exhibit high plasticity in foraging strategies, but how such plasticity is driven by environmental conditions is poorly understood. The American manatee (Trichechus manatus), a large, endangered herbivore, inhabits marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments.

Progesterone monitoring and gestation length in Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis)
Theriogenology WildKnowledge of pregnancy length and the physiological parameters during pregnancy is an important tool for pregnancy diagnosis in free-ranging and captive individuals and for the correct husbandry of captive pregnant females. Therefore, this study aimed to

Contraction of the ROS Scavenging Enzyme Glutathione S-Transferase Gene Family in Cetaceans
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Cetaceans are a group of marine mammals whose ancestors were adaptated for life on land. Life in an aquatic environment poses many challenges for air-breathing mammals. Diving marine mammals have adapted to rapid reoxygenation and reactive oxygen species
