Thecacera sesama Chan & Lee, sp. nov. (Nudibranchia, Polyceridae) is described from north-eastern Taiwan based on an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological and molecular data. The new ...
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps sustain highly productive animal communities through chemosynthetic symbioses, among which bathymodioline mussels are prominent examples. Bathymodioline gill...
Symbiotic relationships between animals and microorganisms are widespread and have driven the adaptation and evolution of animals across diverse environments. The establishment of highly integrated en...
Bacterial symbiosis is well-documented in chemosynthesis-based ecosystems, but associations with microeukaryotes remain overlooked. In this study, using scanning electron microscopy and 18S rDNA barco...
The habitats of the pearl oyster (Pinctada maxima Jameson, 1901) are facing competition from anthropogenic activities, particularly tourism, which is prevalent in the Southeast Asian region. This situ...
Here we report the microbiome composition and lipid (molecular and isotopic) profile of gills from Archivesica sp. Atacama., a new species of deep-sea bivalve family Vesicomyidae collected at 2839 m d...
Microplastic pollution, stemming from plastic degradation or direct release, presents a persistent threat to marine environments. While global concern grows, data from the Indian Ocean, especially on ...
