Soft Robotic Grippers for Biological Sampling on Deep Reefs.

TL;DR: The development of an underwater gripper that utilizes soft robotics technology to delicately manipulate and sample fragile species on the deep reef is presented, making it the first use of soft robotics in the deep sea for the nondestructive sampling of benthic fauna.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics explains the evolutionary success of reef-forming corals.

TL;DR: Transcriptome and genome data from twenty stony coral species and a selection of reference bilaterians were studied to elucidate coral evolutionary history and identify genes that encode the proteins responsible for the precipitation and aggregation of the aragonite skeleton on which the organisms live.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultragentle manipulation of delicate structures using a soft robotic gripper

TL;DR: An ultragentle gripper capable of grasping delicate specimens of gelatinous marine life and demonstrating an improvement in gentle sample collection compared with existing deep-sea sampling devices is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

The covert world of fish biofluorescence: a phylogenetically widespread and phenotypically variable phenomenon.

TL;DR: It is shown that biofluorescence is not only phylogenetically widespread, but is also phenotypically variable across both cartilaginous and bony fishes, highlighting its evolutionary history and the possibility for discovery of numerous novel fluorescent proteins.
