<ns3:p>We present a genome assembly from an individual <ns3:italic>Magallana gigas</ns3:italic> (the Pacific oyster; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Ostreida; Ostreidae). The sequence is 564.0 megabases in span. Most of the scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. mitochondrial has also been assembled and 18.23 kilobases length. Gene annotation this on Ensembl identified 19,775 protein-coding genes.</ns3:p>
Summary Many aspects of global change affect the variability species population densities, in terms both magnitude and pattern density fluctuations. However, we have limited empirical understanding consequences altered temporal populations, independent changes their mean for structure stability natural communities responses ecosystems to additional stressors. We used a field experiment test effects single consumer on community stability. Specifically, manipulated populations key grazer...
To understand the consequences of biodiversity loss, it is necessary to test how biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships may vary with predicted environmental change. In particular, our understanding will be advanced by studies addressing interactive effects multiple stressors on role across trophic levels. Predicted increases in wave disturbance and ocean warming, together climate‐driven range shifts key consumer species, are likely have profound impacts dynamics coastal marine...
<ns4:p>We present a genome assembly from an individual scale worm, <ns4:italic>Harmothoe impar</ns4:italic>; Annelida; Polychaeta; Phyllodocida; Polynoidae). The sequence is 1,512.3 megabases in span. Most of the scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. mitochondrial has also been assembled and 15.37 kilobases length.</ns4:p>
<ns4:p>We present a genome assembly from an individual <ns4:italic>Steromphala cineraria</ns4:italic> (the grey topshell; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Trochida; Trochidae). The sequence is 1,270 megabases in span. Most of the (99.23%) scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules.</ns4:p>
Our knowledge of the effects consumer species loss on ecosystem functioning is limited by a paucity manipulative field studies, particularly those that incorporate inter‐trophic effects. Further, given ongoing transformation natural habitats anthropogenic activities, studies should assess relative importance biodiversity for processes across different environmental contexts including multiple habitat types. We tested context‐dependency conducting 15‐month experiment in two (mussel beds and...
<ns3:p>We present a genome assembly from an individual <ns3:italic>Diadumene lineata </ns3:italic>(the orange-striped anemone; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Actiniaria; Diadumenidae). The sequence is 313 megabases in span. majority of the (96.03%) scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. complete mitochondrial was also assembled and 17.6 kilobases length.</ns3:p>
Recent studies have improved our understanding of nearshore marine ecosystems surrounding Ascension Island (central Atlantic Ocean), but little is known about Ascension's benthic environment beyond its shallow coastal waters. Here, we report the first detailed physical and biological examination seabed at 100–1000 m depth. Multibeam swath data were used to map fine scale bathymetry derive slope rugosity indices for entire area. Water temperature salinity profiles obtained from five...
Abstract Detecting non-native species can be challenging, particularly in the case of taxa such as seaweeds, which difficult to distinguish based on morphology and often require molecular-assisted taxonomy for reliable identification. The sub-Antarctic island South Georgia supports unique important marine biodiversity, including a rich seaweed flora, but despite its isolation, inshore ecosystems are susceptible introduction potentially invasive species. Here, we provide first report Georgia,...
A molecular and morphological taxonomic study of Corallina (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) from Tristan da Cunha the Falkland Islands revealed chamberlainiae J.Brodie & R.Mrowicki sp. nov. both South Atlantic archipelagos, cf. caespitosa only in Islands. Analysis mitochondrial COI-5P plastid psbA resolved C. as a distinct clade composed specimens (COI-5P), addition to two matching New Zealand samples (psbA). In analyses, was close species Japan (as pilulifera melobesioides) but separate sensu...

Many lowland rainforests in Southeast Asia are severely altered by selective logging and there is a need for rapid assessment methods to identify characteristic communities of old growth forests monitor restoration success regenerating forests. We have studied the effect on diversity composition lichen trunks trees northeast Borneo dominated Dipterocarpaceae. Using data from field observations vouchers collected plots disturbed undisturbed forests, we compared taxonomy-based taxon-free...
