Open AccessMonitoring of species’ genetic diversity in Europe varies greatly and overlooks potential climate change impacts
Genetic monitoring of populations currently attracts interest in the context of the Convention on Biological Diversity but needs long-term planning and investments. However, genetic diversity has been largely ...

Open AccessShifting reef restoration focus from coral survivorship to biodiversity using Reef Carpets
To enhance the practice of farmed-coral transplantation, we conducted a trial of an approach called “Reef Carpets” (RC), which draws inspiration from the commercial turf-grass sod in land-based lawn gardening. Th...

Open AccessHistorical navigation routes in European waters leave their footprint on the contemporary seascape genetics of a colonial urochordate
Humans have intensively sailed the Mediterranean and European Atlantic waters throughout history, from the upper Paleolithic until today and centuries of human seafaring have established complex coastal and cr...

Open AccessThe novel Orshina Rhythm in a colonial urochordate signifies the display of recurrent aging/rejuvenation sequels
When it comes to aging, some colonial invertebrates present disparate patterns from the customary aging phenomenon in unitary organisms, where a single senescence phenomenon along ontogeny culminates in their ...

Open AccessFission in a colonial marine invertebrate signifies unique life history strategies rather than being a demographic trait
Each of the few known life-history strategies (e.g., r/K and parity [semelparity and iteroparity]), is a composite stratagem, signified by co-evolved sets of trade-offs with stochastically distributed variatio...

Open AccessFrontloading of stress response genes enhances robustness to environmental change in chimeric corals
Chimeras are genetically mixed entities resulting from the fusion of two or more conspecifics. This phenomenon is widely distributed in nature and documented in a variety of animal and plant phyla. In corals, ...

Open AccessSpatial distribution of conspecific genotypes within chimeras of the branching coral Stylophora pistillata
Chimerism is a coalescence of conspecific genotypes. Although common in nature, fundamental knowledge, such as the spatial distribution of the genotypes within chimeras, is lacking. Hence, we investigated the ...

Long-term changes in population genetic features of a rapidly expanding marine invader: implication for invasion success
Large blooms of Rhopilema nomadica, a highly venomous rhizostamatid scyphozoan species introduced to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal, have become ubiquitous in the summer and winter months along the Isra...

Open AccessGap analysis of DNA barcoding in ERMS reference libraries for ascidians and cnidarians
All-inclusive DNA-barcoding libraries in the storage and analysis platform of the BOLD (Barcode of Life Data) system are essential for the study of the marine biodiversity and are pertinent for regulatory purp...

Apparent recruitment failure for the vast majority of coral species at Eilat, Red Sea
The status of coral reefs is often portrayed by parameters (e.g., coverage, bleaching, diseases, nutrients and rugosity) assigned to adult populations. Yet, coral recruitment is essential for sustaining coral ...

Cell Communication-mediated Nonself-Recognition and -Intolerance in Representative Species of the Animal Kingdom
Why has histo-incompatibility arisen in evolution and can cause self-intolerance? Compatible/incompatible reactions following natural contacts between genetically-different (allogeneic) colonies of marine orga...

Develo** novel microsatellite markers by NGS technology for Rhopilema nomadica, an invasive jellyfish
Twelve microsatellite loci, obtained by whole genome sequencing approach, were developed and validated for the rhizostomatid jellyfish Rhopilema nomadica, the most pernicious invasive species in the Mediterranean...

The Apex Set-Up for the Major Transitions in Individuality
Morphological and functional hierarchies occurring in contemporary biological entities are amalgamated via a small number of progressive key-steps termed as Major Transition in Evolution (MTE) that encompass s...

Population genetic parameters of the emerging corallivorous snail Drupella cornus in the northern Gulf of Eilat and Tanzanian coastlines based on mitochondrial COI gene sequences
The genetic diversity and population genetic structures of Drupella cornus populations from six localities in the northern Gulf of Eilat (GOE) and five localities in Tanzania (269 individuals) were investigated u...

Open AccessCircatrigintan instead of lunar periodicity of larval release in a brooding coral species
Larval release by brooding corals is often assumed to display lunar periodicity. Here, we show that larval release of individual Stylophora pistillata colonies does not comply with the assumed tight entrainment b...

Foul play? On the rapid spread of the brown shrimp Penaeus aztecus Ives, 1891 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Penaeidae) in the Mediterranean, with new records from the Gulf of Lion and the southern Levant
Specimens of the penaeid shrimp Penaeus aztecus, a West Atlantic species, were collected off Le Grau du Roi, Gulf of Lion, France, and off the Israeli coast, Levant Basin, Mediterranean Sea. This alien species ha...

Cotylorhiza erythraea Stiasny, 1920 (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae: Cepheidae), yet another erythraean jellyfish from the Mediterranean coast of Israel
An unfamiliar scyphozoan jellyfish species has been observed along the Mediterranean coast of Israel since 2003. Morphological characters such as the densely anastomosed radial canals and the stalked cupped ap...
