Bacterial Diversity and Community Assembly in Deep-Sea Sediments: Observations from the Philippine Sea

Microorganisms are important components of marine ecosystems and are widely distributed across global marine sediments. Although studies on microbial communities in deep-sea sediments have been increasing worldwide, research in the Philippine Sea is still at an early stage. In th...

Genome-Wide Identification and Bioinformatics Analysis of Thaumatin-like Proteins in Aegiceras corniculatum

Background: The mangrove ecosystem serves as a vital coastal ecotone, providing essential ecological services, such as water purification, shoreline protection, and biodiversity maintenance. Fungal pathogens threaten mangrove health and contribute to ecosystem degradation, but th...

First mitogenome-based phylogenetic analysis and divergence time estimation of deep-sea elasipodid sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea: Elasipodida)

Elasipodida is a major deep-sea holothuroid order, and distributed across depths ranging from 350 m to 7,000 m. Its high species diversity and extensive bathymetric range make it a key model system for investigating the evolutionary processes and adaptive radiation of deep-sea fa...
