Validating COI eDNA Metabarcoding Primers for Detection of Subterranean Fauna [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources.
ABSTRACT Subterranean ecosystems host a diverse range of ancient fauna, but studying these ecosystems is challenging due to significant sampling difficulties. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a promising approach for monitoring subterranean biodiversity, yet issues such as primer bias and non‐target amplification can complicate its ...

Brooding Phylogenomics: Target-Capture Probe Sets for the Analysis of Ultraconserved Elements in the Peracarida. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Sequencing via target capture has been used to great effect in phylogenetic studies of organisms such as insects, arachnids and vertebrates. However, other taxa have received limited genomic attention despite their diversity and the intensity of research on such groups. Here, we describe generalised probe sets targeting ultraconserved elements

Does Invasive Mammal Exclusion Restore an Ecosystem Function Mediated by Invertebrates? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Excluding invasive mammals is key to protecting native biodiversity, but it is unclear if their removal also restores ecosystem functions, especially those provided by invertebrates, such as decomposition, pollination and herbivory. Fenced ecosanctuaries on mainland New Zealand, which exclude most introduced mammals except mice, offer a unique ...

Riparian Bryophytes: An Overlooked Yet Important Habitat for Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Interior Pacific Northwest (USA) Salmonid-Bearing Streams. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated riparian bryophytes as habitat for aquatic invertebrates in an interior Pacific Northwest (PNW) salmonid stream system. Our results demonstrate that bryophytes are highly productive habitat for aquatic invertebrates in interior Pacific Northwest salmonid streams.

Shared and Unique Patterns of Genomic Differentiation and Introgression Between Japanese Stickleback Species Across Three Sympatric Sites. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Hybridization and introgression frequently occur even between distantly related species. A central question in speciation research is which genomic regions act as barriers to gene flow and how genome‐wide differentiation persists despite hybridization between species.

Amphipoda in the diet of nekton in the Okhotsk Sea

Известия ТИНРО, 2023
Amphipods (mainly hyperiids) are among the top-five taxonomic groups in the diet of many nekton species. Feeding of 106 nekton species dwelled in the Okhotsk Sea is considered (though 93 % of the stomach samples were collected from only 20 mass species ...

Nomenclatural problems caused by type species designation in Gammaridae (Amphipoda)

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2023
Recent phylogenetic studies of Gammaridae made evident some nomenclatural issues that should be addressed. We discuss the nomenclatural problems caused by the use of the unavailable name Neogammarus Ruffo, 1937 and the designation of type species for ...

First record of the genus Oediceroides (Amphipoda: Amphilochidea: Oedicerotidae) for the Gulf of Mexico, with the description of a new species

Novitates Caribaea, 2021
The genus Oediceroides Stebbing, 1888 represents a group of 23 species of amphipods that live from shallow coastal areas to abyssal plains. Most of these species have been collected in deep waters from localities in the South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,

The mitochondrial genomes of five spring and groundwater amphipods of the family Crangonyctidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from eastern North America

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of one spring-dwelling (Crangonyx forbesi) and four groundwater amphipods (Bactrurus brachycaudus, Stygobromus allegheniensis, S. pizzinii, and S. t.
