Preservative Ethanol From Stomach Contents Is a Reliable Proxy for Diet DNA Metabarcoding
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.We tested whether DNA metabarcoding of preservative ethanol can substitute bulk stomach contents for reconstructing diets. Using two ethanol DNA extraction methods (precipitation and drying), the resulting profiles showed minor differences relative to each other and to bulk contents in richness, composition, and read counts, mostly limited to low ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1519-1534, May 2026.Abstract Optimal allocation of resources to the management of biosecurity risk, threatened species conservation or natural hazards such as bushfires is imperative—because program budgets are usually finite and, therefore, constrained. However, effectively dividing resources among management activities to achieve the greatest benefit remains a ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.A food‐choice experiment illustrating that monosex decapods can serve as efficient biological control agents against parasite‐transmitting snails in aquaculture systems. We presented prawns and crayfish to four pest snail species with varying shell characteristics and quantified their predation preferences and traits. We show that the force required to

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.Biofloc technology and periphyton‐based systems enhance the sustainable production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). A PRISMA‐guided review (2005 – 2024) shows that BFT improves survival (75 – 78 %) and feed efficiency, while periphyton supports natural productivity in grow‐out.
