Biodiversity currently faces unprecedented threats owing to species extinctions. Ecologically, compensatory dynamics can ensure stable community biomass following perturbation. However, whether there is a contribution of genetic diversity to community responses is an outstanding question. To date, the contribution of evolutionary processes through genotype shifts has not been assessed in natura...

Image-based surveys of the marine benthos are being increasingly adopted as a monitoring tool for habitats and biota, particularly in mesophotic depths (?30–150 m) which technically difficult to survey. Many modern tools these surveys, such remotely operated vehicles autonomous underwater vehicles, can capture thousands images single deployment. Turning this into quantitative data typically inv...

Climate change driven extreme events such as marine heatwaves (MHWs) can have dramatic impacts on ecosystems, with thermal stress often resulting in localised die-offs and visible signs of bleaching organisms. Such are reported widely shallower ecosystems but less studied deeper mesophotic (MEs) where collecting data is more expensive. However, these biodiverse play important ecological roles, ...

Haemoproteus parasites (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) are widespread pathogens of birds, with a rich genetic (about 1900 lineages) and morphospecies (178 species) diversity. Nonetheless, their life cycles poorly understood. The exo-erythrocytic stages three majoris (widespread generalist parasite) lineages have been previously reported, each in different bird species. We aimed to further study com...
