The paper uses environmental DNA to assess eukaryotic diversity and community patterns in the Northern Red Sea, finding that eDNA captures broader diversity and fine-scale spatial structuring not fully explained by benthic composition.

This study uses DNA barcoding data to analyze shallow-water demosponge biodiversity in the Indo-Pacific, revealing patterns of connectivity, endemism, and distribution with higher resolution than previous morphology-based studies.

This paper uses phylogenomic analysis to show that clownfish-hosting sea anemones diversified coincidently with clownfishes, supporting co-evolutionary patterns in their mutualistic relationship.

The paper examines molecular changes in Arabian pupfish during salinity acclimation, identifying both transient and long-term gene expression responses in different populations.

This paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly for the orange clownfish, providing a valuable resource for studying reef fish ecology and evolution.
