Evolution of mate-choice copying: a dynamic model
TLDR
A 2-year dynamic model demonstrates that mate-choice copying may evolve, when young females are poor at discrimination and need to learn what high-quality males look like, as long as there are sufficient differences in quality for mate choice to be meaningful.

Global Coordination and Standardisation in Marine Biodiversity through the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and Related Databases
TLDR
The scale of the problems with species names, synonyms, and their classification is illustrated, and how WoRMS publishes online quality assured information on marine species is described to show increased taxonomic efficiency and quality control in marine biodiversity research and management.

Who's who among baby brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea): postmetamorphic development of some North Atlantic forms
TLDR
The ophiuroid skeleton continues to develop well beyond metamorphosis and small juveniles often lack many of the characters used to identify adult specimens, so accurate descriptions of postlarvae and their development are therefore necessary to match them to their adult conspecifics.

Morphological diagnoses of higher taxa in Ophiuroidea (Echinodermata) in support of a new classification
TLDR
A new classification of Ophiuroidea, considering family rank and above, is presented and the family Ophiobyrsidae Matsumoto, 1915, not yet discovered in the previous publication, is added, based on new molecular data.
