Taxon‐specific BLAST percent identity thresholds for identification of unknown sequences using metabarcoding

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2380-2394, October 2025.
Abstract The identification of organisms in environmental samples using metabarcoding relies on factors such as taxonomic assignment methods, genetic markers, reference databases and confidence thresholds for taxonomic assignment. Because lineages evolve at different rates, a global threshold (e.g.

Zoonotic Parasites in Marmosets (Callithrix Spp.) From Southern Brazil: Insights From a One Health Perspective

open access: yesJournal of Medical Primatology, Volume 54, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Currently, six species of Callithrix are frequently observed in anthropized and degraded environments in different regions of Brazil. This occupation favors interactions with humans and increases the risk of infection by parasites with zoonotic potential.

Antagonistic Rewiring and Turnover Patterns in a Neotropical Fish–Parasite Metanetwork

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Integrating beta‐diversity and network analyses is an emerging approach for understanding the spatial structure of species communities. For instance, although the presence of hosts affects parasite species distribution, environmental factors can either restrict or promote the occurrence of certain parasite species by changing the abundance of ...

Metagenomic Insights Into the Dietary Diversity of the Adaptive Radiation of Cichlid Fishes in Lake Tanganyika

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 9, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Diet specialisation is a main driver of diversification in many adaptive radiations. Therefore, identifying diet items is essential to characterise trophic specialisations and to understand the dynamics of dietary adaptations. In this study, we explored the trophic niches of 56 species from the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake ...

Causes of mortality and morbidity in the endangered southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus obesulus)

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 138-148, March 2025.
The southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus obesulus) is a small, endangered, Australian, ground‐dwelling marsupial. Apart from isolated necropsy reports, there has not been a systematic investigation into the health and causes of death for this species.
