Mining for Mitochondria: 68 Mitogenomes for Wrasses and Parrotfishes (F: Labridae) From Off‐Target UCE Data [PDF]
Ecol EvolBy leveraging off‐target reads from a target‐capture UCE dataset, we assembled and annotated complete mitogenomes for 68 species of wrasses and parrotfishes (Family: Labridae), 54 of which are novel to the NCBI. This increases the taxonomic coverage of reference labrid mitogenomes from less than 5% and 12% to almost 13% and 20% of the family on NCBI's ...

Sampling effort to characterize estuarine macroinfaunal communities in patchy habitats
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Estuarine benthic macroinfauna have aggregated, patchy distributions, making accurate community measurements dependent upon sampling scales. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate core sizes and sampling effort needed to characterize benthic infaunal communities in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, USA.
