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.

Extreme morphologies of mantis shrimp larvae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Larvae of stomatopods (mantis shrimps) are generally categorized into four larval types: antizoea, pseudozoea (both representing early larval stages), alima and erichthus (the latter two representing later larval stages).

Rotiferan Hox genes give new insights into the evolution of metazoan bodyplans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The phylum Rotifera consists of minuscule, nonsegmented animals with a unique body plan and an unresolved phylogenetic position. The presence of pharyngeal articulated jaws supports an inclusion in Gnathifera nested in the Spiralia.

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 ...
