This paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the sea star Linckia laevigata and describes its genomic features.

This study evaluates non-destructive eDNA extraction from ethanol preservatives in Antarctic filter-feeding museum specimens, finding that ethanol filtration performs as well as tissue biopsies for metabarcoding fish eDNA.

tombRaider improves species and haplotype identification in metabarcoding by removing artefacts and pseudogenes, enhancing data accuracy and reliability.

The paper recovers historical environmental DNA (heDNA) from Antarctic sponge specimens to reconstruct past fish biodiversity and community composition.

The paper compares eDNA sources from water, bivalves, sponges, and ethanol to assess their utility for biodiversity monitoring, finding sponges are reliable while bivalves are not.

The paper identifies and characterizes three Botrylloides species from New Zealand coasts using molecular markers and morphological analysis.
