The paper examines how genotype and environment influence virome and microbiome dynamics in Nematostella vectensis across latitudinal gradients.

This study identifies two distinct species of Mnemiopsis in the US Atlantic coast using genomic analysis, revealing divergence driven by Pleistocene climate transitions and oceanographic changes.

This study examines how different populations of Nematostella vectensis respond transcriptionally to heat and cold stress, finding population-specific responses and a core heat stress response.

This study characterizes the diversity and expression patterns of HSP70 and HSP90 genes in Nematostella vectensis across developmental stages and temperature changes, revealing distinct regulatory mechanisms.

The paper identifies CARDIB, an ancient anthozoan protein that represses immune genes but is essential for antiviral activation, revealing an alternative evolutionary path of antiviral signaling.

The paper reports the de-novo genome of Edwardsia elegans, highlighting genomic conservation and variation within cnidarians.

The paper shows that geographic location, not feeding regime, explains differences in bacterial communities of larval sea urchins.

This study examines bacterial community dynamics during the development of three echinoid species from egg to juvenile, finding that communities are established pre-fertilization and shift gradually while remaining distinct from the environment.
