Food and feeding behaviour of Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus Peters) from Borna Reservoir of Maharashtra, India

open access: yesJournal of Fisheries, 2016
The food analysis of 80 specimens of Oreochromis mossambicus collected from Borna Reservoir of Maharashtra, India revealed that the food  of juveniles mainly consisted of rotifers (35%), followed by copepods (30%), Chlorophyceae (20%), Bacillariophyceae (

Unveiling Protist Composition and Diversity Patterns With eDNA Metabarcoding: Comparing Short‐ and Long‐Read Approaches

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for biodiversity monitoring, but short‐read sequencing limits detailed taxonomic identification, especially for protists. In a comparison of short‐ and long‐read approaches in the Belgian North Sea, long‐read metabarcoding provided deeper taxonomic assignment under the applied workflows and improved

A Comparative Analysis of DNA Metabarcoding and Morphological Identification in Diatoms Reveals Similar Patterns of Environmental Response

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study compares the use of two universal molecular markers (COI and 18S rRNA) with morphological identification to evaluate patterns in diatom communities from high mountain mires. The results revealed a strong correspondence in beta diversity and environmental response across beta and alpha diversity. However, these molecular markers were found to

NATURAL DIET OF BARBEL BARBUS PELOPONNESIUS (VALENCIENNES, 1842) FROM THE SAVA RIVER [PDF]

open access: yesCroatian Journal of Fisheries, 2007
The barbel population (Barbus peloponnesius) was studied in the Sava River at Medsave from July to October 2001. The main objective of the study was to obtain data on diet composition of this species in natural biotopes with relation to food availability

Network Component Analysis Can Identify Potential Axenisation Strategies Circumventing Antibiotic‐Use for Phototrophic Eukaryotic Microalgae

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Network component analysis of published axenisation methods reveals optimal, antibiotic‐free workflows for phototrophic eukaryotic microalgae. Distinct strategies are identified for diatoms, dinoflagellates, and green algae. Verification using microscopy, sequencing, and cell counting enhances reproducibility.

Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins in Mediterranean Reservoirs: Ecological Variability, Risks and Implications for Water Quality Assessment

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing demand for freshwater, in combination with climate change and pollution, compromises the quality and quantity of water resources. These pressures have intensified cyanobacterial blooms, including toxic events that threaten human health and aquatic ecosystems. This study complements the objectives of the Water Framework Directive

Comparing Sediment and Water eDNA Metabarcoding for Monitoring Aquatic Biodiversity in a Plateau Lake

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Using multi‐locus eDNA metabarcoding of sediment and water samples collected from a plateau lake, this study systematically compared taxonomic diversity and community composition between the two sample types across the tree of life from archaea to mammals.

Lista de microalgas epilíticas de la parte alta y media del río Gaira, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

open access: yesIntropica, 2015
El fitoplancton es uno de los principales productores primarios en los sistemas acuáticos; sin embargo, en los ríos, gran parte de la comunidad de microalgas se encuentran adheridas a las rocas, lo que ayuda a conformar el perifiton.

Environmental Gradients and Ecological Processes Are Main Drivers of Eukaryotic Diversity in the Eastern Red Sea

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Across 266 water column samples, COI eDNA metabarcoding detected 4298 eukaryotic MOTUs spanning 40 phyla in the Eastern Red Sea. Community composition varied strongly across depth and regions, revealing hidden biodiversity patterns and providing a baseline for conservation‐oriented monitoring in a future‐ocean analogue.
