Abstract Many sharks, skates, and rays (elasmobranchs) are highly threatened by the activities of commercial fisheries, a clear understanding their distributions, diversity, abundance can guide protective measures. However, surveying monitoring elasmobranch species be invasive or resource‐intensive, utilization non‐invasive environmental DNA‐based methods may overcome these problems. Here, we studied spatial seasonal variation in community Western English Channel using DNA (eDNA) collected...

We present a genome assembly from specimen of Blennius ocellaris (the butterfly blenny; Chordata; Actinopteri; Blenniiformes; Blenniidae). The sequence spans 728.70 megabases. Most the is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. mitochondrial has also been assembled and 16.5 kilobases in length.

The complex processes involved with animal migration have long been a subject of biological interest, and broad-scale movement patterns many marine turtle populations still remain unresolved. While it is widely accepted that once turtles reach sexual maturity they home to natal areas for nesting or reproduction, the role philopatry during other life stages has received less scrutiny, despite widespread evidence across taxa. Here we report on genetic research indicates juvenile hawksbill (...

Abstract. The Western Channel Observatory (WCO) comprises a series of pelagic, benthic and atmospheric sampling sites within 40 km Plymouth, UK, that have been sampled by the Plymouth institutes on regular basis since 1903. This longevity recording high frequency observations provide unique combination data; for example temperature data were first collected in 1903, reference station L4, where nearly 400 planktonic taxa enumerated, has weekly 1988. While component datasets archived, here we...
