Fish Gut Metabarcoding Detects Diets and Parasites Simultaneously
Understanding dietary habits and trophic niches of species is crucial for the conservation and management of species and ecosystems. We applied a multimarker metabarcoding approach to assess the diet and parasites of commercially exploited beaked redfish (Sebastes mentella).

Ultrastructure of the extraordinary pedal gland in Asplanchna aff. herricki (Rotifera: Monogononta)
The freshwater rotifer Asplanchna aff. herricki possesses a singular pedal gland that secretes a long mucus thread while swimming. The gland is syncytial, binucleate, and produces large membrane‐bound secretion vesicles that fuse and eventually go through a phase transition to a mesh‐like secretion.

CRISPR‐Cas9‐mediated host signal reduction for 18S metabarcoding of host‐associated eukaryotes
Abstract Metabarcoding‐based methods for identification of host‐associated eukaryotes have the potential to revolutionize parasitology and microbial ecology, yet significant technical challenges remain. In particular, highly abundant host reads can mask the presence of less‐abundant target organisms, especially for sample types rich in host DNA (e.g ...
