The globally dispersed sun-coral species is _Tubastraea coccinea_ (Cnidaria: Anthozoa)

The paper resolves taxonomic confusion in sun corals by combining molecular phylogenetics and genome assemblies, revealing T. coccinea as the cosmopolitan species and T. tagusensis as endemic to the Galapagos.

Autonomous sampling and eDNA metabarcoding for offshore biodiversity monitoring: a pilot study around an FPSO in the Southwestern Atlantic

This paper evaluates autonomous eDNA metabarcoding for offshore biodiversity monitoring around an FPSO, finding that repeated sampling is needed to distinguish transient from persistent patterns.

eDNA enables proof-of-origin of samples from reservoirs with rich and abundant biodiversity

The paper shows that eDNA profiles from water samples can indicate sample provenance across reservoirs using multi-marker metabarcoding and blockchain traceability.

Insights into the representativeness of biodiversity assessment in large reservoir through eDNA metabarcoding

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to assess biodiversity in a large reservoir, revealing previously unreported species and demonstrating that 30% sampling can effectively capture biodiversity.

A high quality chromosome-level genome assembly for the golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei)

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the golden mussel using Hi-C, PacBio HiFi, and 10X sequencing data, achieving high contiguity and annotation.

Environmental DNA from a small sample of reservoir water can tell volumes about its biodiversity.

The paper evaluates eDNA metabarcoding in a reservoir to assess biodiversity, finding it detects many taxa including previously unreported species and provides insights into fish population genetics.

The draft genome of the invasive coral Tubastraea sp.

The paper presents the first genome of Tubastraea sp., a fast-spreading invasive coral, and reports its large size, high gene content, and repetitive elements, providing insights into its invasiveness and adaptation.

First Draft Genome of a Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest Burseraceae reveals commercially-promising genes involved in terpenic oleoresins synthesis

The paper presents the first draft genome of Protium kleinii, identifies terpene biosynthesis genes, and characterizes resin volatile compounds.
