The paper identifies a new species of sponge and finds that its color morphotypes correlate with distinct microbial communities.

This study describes two new species within the Phakellia robusta species complex using morphological and molecular data, revealing pseudocryptic diversity and suggesting reassessment of previous species distributions.

This study examines genetic connectivity and adaptation in Ephydatia muelleri across its range using ddRADseq data, finding low connectivity and polygenic adaptation to environmental factors.

The paper identifies 16 candidate genes and 12 enriched GO terms potentially involved in bioluminescence in scale worms using RNA-seq and histological analyses.
