Genetic Reference Gaps Limit eDNA Metabarcoding and Biodiversity Monitoring of Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

Nationwide Environmental DNA Haplotyping Illuminates the Range Expansion of Three Invasive Black Bass Species in Japan

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Environmental DNA‐based haplotyping simultaneously detects mitochondrial haplotypes of three invasive black bass species (Micropterus nigricans, M. salmoides, and M. dolomieu) across Japan, revealing their range expansion and dispersal processes at a broad scale. ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a significant threat to ecosystems worldwide.

Uncharted digenean diversity in Lake Tanganyika: cryptogonimids (Digenea: Cryptogonimidae) infecting endemic lates perches (Actinopterygii: Latidae)

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Lake Tanganyika is considered a biodiversity hotspot with exceptional species richness and level of endemism. Given the global importance of the lake in the field of evolutionary biology, the understudied status of its parasite fauna is ...

A Continuum of Biodiversity: Revealing Marine Tropical Fish Diversity From Intra‐ to Interspecific Variation Through Environmental DNA

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This study applies eDNA metabarcoding on conserved and hypervariable mitochondrial markers to assess species diversity in Caribbean marine fishes and population haplotype diversity in grunts. By standardizing biodiversity monitoring across scales, eDNA provides a unified understanding of the processes generating diversity patterns from populations to ...

Nucleus Rostrolateralis: An Expansion of the Epithalamus in Some Actinopterygii [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 2013
ABSTRACTThe diencephalic nucleus rostrolateralis (RL) in the African butterfly fish (Pantodon buchholzi) is a brain nucleus identified in fewer than a dozen of the ∼25,000 species of actinopterygian fishes. Located in the rostrolateral diencephalon, this nucleus in Pantodon receives direct and indirect visual input from the superior visual field.

Comparing Freshwater eDNA With Conventional Survey Methods to Detect Vertebrate Biodiversity in a Malagasy Tropical Rainforest

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This study compares the efficacy of conventional surveys of vertebrate taxa to eDNA metabarcoding of freshwater samples from a tropical rainforest ecosystem in the Makira Forest Protected Area (MFPA), Madagascar. We demonstrate high but taxa‐varying efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding detections, reinforcing its use as a complementary biodiversity survey ...

Refining a molecular tool kit to capture tropicalization in Mediterranean marine protected areas

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We assess complementarity and trade‐offs between visual census and eDNA metabarcoding for monitoring fish community changes in MPAs. Abstract Tropicalization, the process by which tropical species expand their ranges poleward due to global ocean warming, is a prominent threat to Mediterranean marine ecosystems, challenging their effective management ...
