Background Marine ecosystems are hosts to a vast array of organisms, being among the
most richly biodiverse locations on the planet. The study of these ecosystems is very …

Covering: up to the end of 2018 Zoantharians, also improperly known as zoanthids or
colonial anemones, are well known by aquarists because of their ease of use in aquaria but …

Recent metagenomic analyses have revealed a high diversity of viruses in the pelagic
ocean and uncovered clear habitat‐specific viral distribution patterns. Conversely, similar …

Climate change threatens coastal benthic communities on a global scale. However, the
potential effects of ongoing warming on mesophotic temperate reefs at the community level …

Passive samplers (solid phase adsorption toxin tracking: SPATT) are able to accumulate
biotoxins produced by microalgae directly from seawater, thus providing useful information …

Genome-level sequencing is the next step in understanding species-level relationships
within Anthozoa (soft corals, anemones, stony corals, and their kin) as morphological and …

Secondary metabolites play a crucial role in marine invertebrate chemical ecology. Thus, it
is of great importance to understand factors regulating their production and sources of …

In marine ecosystems, sponges are ubiquitous sessile organisms that contain a wide range
of specialized metabolites. These metabolites point to a diverse range of biochemical …

The clownfish-sea anemone mutualism was suggested to have triggered the adaptive
radiation of clownfishes, but the origin of clownfish resistance to stinging tentacles of host …

Abstract Introduction The Latitudinal Gradient Hypothesis (LGH) foresees that specialized
metabolites are overexpressed under low latitudes, where organisms are subjected to …
