    Historical 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...

    The 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 ...

    Fission 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...

    Spatial 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 ...

    Circatrigintan 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...

    Venturing in coral larval chimerism: a compact functional domain with fostered genotypic diversity

    The globally distributed coral species Pocillopora damicornis is known to release either sexual or asexual derived planula-larvae in various reef locations. Using microsatellite loci as markers, we documented the...
