    Marine sediments host diverse benthic prokaryotic communities that are integral to global biogeochemical cycles. However, the spatial distribution and environmental drivers of these communities, particularly in unique environments like the Red Sea, remain largely underexplored. In this study, we examine benthic prokaryotic communities sampled during the Red Sea Decade Expedition (RSDE) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing across five major regions along the Red Sea's latitudinal gradient and three depth strata. Our findings reveal distinct biogeographical patterns shaped by depth, latitude, and oxygen availability, with clear shifts in microbial community composition across the epibenthic, mesobenthic and bathybenthic zones. Bathybenthic communities exhibited consistently low levels of OTU richness throughout the Red Sea, likely due to uniform niche environmental conditions at depth, while shallower communities showed higher OTU richness towards the Southern Red Sea. The southern region harboured higher relative abundances of Chloroflexi and reduced relative abundances of Proteobacteria and Acidobacteriota relative to the northern regions. Extreme environments, such as the Atlantis II brine pool, supported specialised microbial communities likely adapted to extreme conditions like hypersalinity. This study established a critical baseline for understanding the responses of marine microbial communities to climate change and their roles in biogeochemical processes.

    Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026
    Antarctic marine invertebrates are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, and therefore vulnerable to ongoing ocean warming. To investigate molecular responses to heat stress, the benthic isopod Spinoserolis beddardi and the asteroid Diplasterias sp., both adapted to ~0 °C conditions, were used. Organisms were exposed to short-term thermal increments of +3 °C and +7 °C in controlled aquarium experiments. After one week, transcriptomes were sequenced, generating a total of 245 Gb (26 libraries) for Diplasterias sp. and 312 Gb (29 libraries) for S. beddardi . sp. De novo assemblies yielded 392,214 and 438,423 protein-coding transcripts, of which 75,983 and 65,497, respectively, had significant matches to metazoan proteins. S. beddardi showed a faster but limited response, with high transcriptional activation at +3 °C (1,140 up- and 733 down-regulated transcripts) but reduced differential expression at +7 ºC, a temperature that induced mortality and phenotypic stress. Contrarily, Diplasterias sp. displayed broader transcriptional changes increasing with temperature, with 1,175 up- and 1,128 down-regulated transcripts at +7 °C and significant differences between treatments. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that cellular structure, metabolic pathways, protein folding, and reproductive processes underpin thermal stress responses of both species. This study provides the first comparative transcriptomic insight into the heat stress responses in these two Antarctic benthic invertebrates, offering a framework to assess their resilience under projected ocean warming scenarios.

    Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2026
    Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized the study of ecology and biodiversity, enabling species detection without direct observation in the environment. However, the implications of detection errors, specifically false positives and false negatives, are poorly reported in eDNA studies, significantly hindering our understanding of the technique's limitations and the contexts in which it may not work. To improve transparency, strengthen methodologies and support more accurate ecological interpretations, this paper advocates for the comprehensive reporting of all findings in eDNA studies, especially detection errors arising from issues in sampling, preservation, laboratory workflow and bioinformatics. By pointing out the methodological challenges associated with eDNA research, we highlight the importance of methodological rigour and the need for comprehensive reporting procedures. This approach not only encourages scientific advancement but also enables sound ecological inference. We conclude by calling for standardized practices and transparency in eDNA research to advance a more sophisticated understanding of ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity.

    Environmental DNA, 2026
    Microeukaryotes, including protists, microalgae, and small fungi, are fundamental components of marine ecosystems, driving energy transfer, nutrient cycling, and primary production. Despite their ecological significance, they remain understudied due to their small size and taxonomic complexity. Here, we present a comprehensive assessment of eukaryotic diversity across the entire water column of the Eastern Red Sea, integrating surface to deep‐sea layers along a latitudinal gradient. Environmental DNA metabarcoding of bottle‐net hauls from 266 samples across 128 stations spanning the eastern Red Sea revealed 4298 MOTUs from 40 phyla, with a substantial fraction lacking reliable taxonomic assignments. While traditional diversity indices showed little variation across regions or depths, multivariate analyses revealed pronounced community turnover along the latitudinal gradient and subtler vertical structuring. Temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity emerged as significant correlates of β‐diversity, with the remainder likely reflecting unmeasured drivers. Despite a large core of MOTUs shared across epipelagic, mesopelagic, and bathypelagic layers, ecological groups displayed depth‐specific abundance patterns, and co‐occurrence networks identified phototrophic and microbial hubs with a southward shift toward stronger benthic–pelagic coupling. Notably, we observed a latitudinal transition from fungal‐ and algal‐dominated communities in the north to more complex microbial–benthic–vertebrate networks in the south. Our results indicate that Red Sea eukaryote communities are shaped by both abiotic gradients and biological interactions, and that water column‐integrated sampling reduces depth bias and captures biodiversity patterns overlooked by single‐depth surveys. This work provides a regional baseline for biodiversity monitoring and conservation in a rapidly changing tropical sea.
  • Are Sponges Good Natural Sentinels for Monitoring Fish Diversity in Antarctic Coastal Waters?

    Ecology and Evolution, 2025
    Monitoring biodiversity in Antarctic ecosystems poses significant challenges, particularly due to the harsh environment. Traditional methods, such as beach seines, are time‐consuming, resource‐intensive, and difficult to carry out in Antarctica. To address these limitations, eDNA‐based techniques have emerged as a valuable alternative. We employed eDNA metabarcoding from water samples and sponges to assess coastal fish communities along the Western Antarctic Peninsula, aiming to explore species diversity across a latitudinal gradient. Our analysis identified 14 Antarctic fish species and one marine mammal. Although previous research has validated the use of sponge‐derived DNA for fish biodiversity studies, our results showed that seawater samples provided a very similar or, in many cases, an even more comprehensive view of the fish community. Interestingly, while sponge species exhibited variability in their performance, no significant differences were observed among them. Both water and sponge samples revealed similar beta diversity patterns, successfully capturing community composition at each location. The coastal fish fauna in the studied areas is highly dominated by notothenioids, with the genera Notothenia , Lindbergichthys , and Trematomus being the most abundant. All the species detected in both water and sponge samples were endemic to Antarctica, widely distributed, and previously known to inhabit the region. These findings are especially important given the increasing human activities, including commercial fishing and krill harvesting, that are impacting the Antarctic marine ecosystem.

    Protecting and restoring coral reefs demands concerted global efforts that transcend national boundaries. However, equitable participation in coral reef science remains challenging, particularly for researchers from lower-income nations. Through quantitative scientometric analyses and qualitative surveys, we examined global collaboration dynamics in coral reef research. Our findings reveal that high-income countries dominate the research landscape, often sidelining contributions from lower-income regions. While international collaborations were valued for benefits like access to funding, opportunities for professional development, enhanced publication success and improved conservation outcomes, most partnerships were short-term, with limited opportunities for evolving roles. Researchers from developing nations face significant barriers, including undervaluation of contributions, differing expectations around authorship, and ethical concerns like parachute science and tokenism, raising concerns about inclusivity and respect for local expertise. To improve collaborative practices and increase participation in coral reef science we propose actionable recommendations directed towards publishers, funders and the greater coral reef research community. We recommend fostering mutual respect, building long-term relationships, and promoting fair funding and publishing practices. These steps are essential for equitable research collaborations that support coral reefs and the communities that depend on them.
  • Surface waters meso- and micro-litter around the Western Antarctic Peninsula: Are the South Shetland Islands a pollution hotspot?
    Pere Monràs-Riera, Luis Francisco Ruiz-Orejón, Carlos Angulo-Preckler, Rafael Sardá, Conxita Avila
    Environmental Research, 2025
    Not even the most remote and pristine oceanic regions, such as the Southern Ocean, are immune to the impacts of marine litter. This study presents novel data on surface waters meso- and micro-litter along the Western Antarctic Peninsula and Livingston Island (South Shetland Islands) across two summer campaigns (2022–2023), providing one of the broadest assessments of marine debris in Antarctica (62° S to 67° S). Litter was detected at all sampling sites, with abundances ranging from 0.019 ± 0.033 to 0.193 ± 0.104 items m −3 along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (average: 0.086 ± 0.082 items m −3 ). The South Shetland Islands exhibited significantly higher litter abundances compared to higher-latitude sites. Our results show that litter distribution correlates with human activity intensity, with latitude and the personnel density of nearby research stations as key influencing factors. The South Shetland Islands emerged as an Antarctic marine litter hotspot, likely driven by the concentration of Antarctic facilities and other anthropogenic activities. Litter was primarily composed of synthetic fibres, especially polyester and nylon, pointing to local human sources. Additionally, a decrease in marine litter was observed at Livingston Island between campaigns, with abundance declining from 0.235 ± 0.152 items m −3 to 0.116 ± 0.033 items m −3 . This highlights the need for ongoing monitoring to capture interannual variability, avoid seasonal biases, and better understand marine litter dynamics in the Southern Ocean to guide conservation efforts. These findings underscore human impact in Antarctica and the urgent need for better waste management and stricter environmental regulation enforcement. • Marine litter is widespread along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (62 - 67° S). • The South Shetland Islands are a marine meso- and micro-litter Antarctic hotspot. • Litter abundance correlated with lower latitudes and higher-capacity stations. • Polyester and nylon fibres dominate surface waters, suggesting local sources. • Stricter waste rules, better compliance, and long-term monitoring are needed.
  • Benthic Feeding and Diet Partitioning in Red Sea Mesopelagic Fish Resolved Through DNA Metabarcoding and ROV Footage
    Kah Kheng Lim, Carlos Angulo‐Preckler, Christopher A. Hempel, Mohammad A. Qurban, Vincent A. Pieribone, Carlos M. Duarte
    Ecology and Evolution, 2025
    Mesopelagic fish are among the most abundant vertebrates on Earth and play a crucial role in carbon sequestration through their daily vertical migration. However, their dietary ecology remains poorly understood, especially in the Red Sea, limiting our grasp of their trophic interactions and ecological roles. This study investigates the dietary composition of two common mesopelagic fish species in the Red Sea, the lanternfish (Benthosema taxa) and the endemic lightfish (Vinciguerria mabahiss), using DNA metabarcoding of the mitochondrial COI marker, supplemented by remotely operated vehicle (ROV) video observations. Our findings show that V. mabahiss exhibits higher prey diversity compared to Benthosema taxa, suggesting a more generalist feeding strategy. Both species primarily consume copepods, likely due to the high abundance of copepods in the upper 200 m of the Red Sea. Despite this commonality, distinct dietary niches were observed: Benthosema taxa consumes significant amounts of molluscs, followed by annelids and echinoderms, while V. mabahiss occasionally consumes gelatinous prey such as hydrozoans and scyphozoans. Notably, our ROV video footage demonstrates that these mesopelagic fish engage in benthic feeding on the continental slope, a behavior rarely documented. By consuming and redistributing organic material through their diel vertical migrations, mesopelagic fish contribute to the biological carbon pump, with important implications for carbon sequestration processes in the ocean. Future studies integrating DNA metabarcoding with stable isotope analysis could provide deeper insights into dietary partitioning and the ecological contributions of these mesopelagic fish species to the Red Sea ecosystem and beyond.

    Environmental Microbiology, 2025
    Pelagic particle‐associated bacterioplankton play crucial roles in marine ecosystems, influencing biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem functioning. However, their diversity, composition, and dynamics remain poorly understood, particularly in unique environments such as the Red Sea. In this study, we employed eDNA metabarcoding to comprehensively characterise bacterioplankton communities associated with pelagic particles in a three‐dimensional assessment spanning depths from the surface to a depth of 2300 m along the full length of the eastern Red Sea within the exclusive economic zone of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our results reveal a diverse assemblage of taxa, with Pseudomonadota, Cyanobacteriota, and Planctomycetota being the dominant phyla. We identified pronounced spatial variability in community composition among five major Red Sea geographical regions, with a third of all amplicon sequence variants being unique to the Southern Red Sea in contrast to a relatively homogenous distribution along the water column depth gradient. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of microbial ecology in the Red Sea and provide valuable insights into the factors governing pelagic particle‐associated bacterioplankton communities in this basin.
