The nudibranch genus Dendrodoris Ehrenberg, 1831 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Nudibranchia, Dendrodorididae) comprises a group of marine gastropods commonly known as "doris"nudibranchs. Members of this genu...
Molluscan shells come in various shapes and sizes. Despite this diversity, each species produces a shell with a characteristic shape that is independent of environmental conditions. We seek to underst...
Mangrove ecosystems in Guangdong Province, China, are vital for their ecological services and biodiversity, yet comprehensive assessments of their species diversity remain limited. A biodiversity surv...
The discovery of three gastropod species (Mollusca) in biogenic sediments dredged from mesophotic and bathyal habitats off the coasts of Yemen and Sudan marks a noteworthy contribution to the inventor...
AbstractNudibranchs of the genus Spurilla (Aeolidiidae) are currently represented worldwide by five species: S. braziliana, S. croisicensis, S. dupontae, S. neapolitana, and S. sargassicola. Two of th...
The Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly, causing shifts in species composition and distributions. While a future "jellification" is projected on a pan-Arctic scale and within the Atlantic Gateway, we ide...
Coral reef ecosystems in the South China Sea (SCS) represent globally significant biodiversity hotspots but are increasingly threatened by environmental change and anthropogenic pressures. In this stu...
Decapodiformes, including cuttlefishes and squid, are ecologically diverse cephalopods widely distributed throughout the world's oceans, yet the evolutionary history of their morphological and ecologi...
Target capture is widely used to enrich endogenous DNA from calcium phosphate skeletal material in vertebrates, but its performance on calcium carbonate hard parts widely produced by invertebrates rem...
The faunas around methane seeps in the deep sea thrive on an in-situ food source and are thus expected to show no latitudinal gradients in their diversity. An analysis of 478 modern and 824 fossil (Cr...
