TL;DR: This poster presents a probabilistic assessment of the phytochemical properties of blue-green algae found in the seabed of the South China Sea.

TL;DR: Two emerging diseases of juvenile crabs and oysters from the UK are investigated using massively parallel sequencing and targeted primer approaches to reveal that their causative agents are highly divergent lineages related to M. mackini and P. canceri, demonstrating that these newly recognized parasites are in fact common, diverse, and widespread and should be considered when assessing the risks of aquaculture activities, invasive species spread, and movements of ballast water and sediments.

TL;DR: The first known results of a paramyxid-specific environmental DNA survey of environmental and organismally-derived samples are presented, revealing new lineages and showing that paramyxids are associated with a wider range of hosts and habitat types than previously known.

TL;DR: Suyo et al. as discussed by the authors have also used the GlobalSeaweedSTAR team to support the development of high quality eucheumatoid cultivars in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

TL;DR: The general primer approach amplified an overlapping set of novel lineages within ENDO‐3 and Haplosporida, whereas the group‐specific primer strategy, targeted to amplify from the earliest known divergent haplosporidians to Gromia, generated greater sequence diversity across part of this phylogenetic range.
