Conflicts in Mitochondrial Phylogenomics of Branchiopoda, with the First Complete Mitogenome of Laevicaudata (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Conflicting phylogenetic signals are pervasive across genomes. The potential impact of such systematic biases may be reduced by phylogenetic approaches accommodating for heterogeneity or by the exclusive use of homoplastic sites in the datasets. Here, we

First Record of <i>Triops cancriformis</i> (Branchiopoda: Notostraca) in Qatar: Its Origin and Range Expansion Inferred From Genetics, Morphology, and Reproduction. [PDF]
Ecol EvolFirst record of Triops cancriformis is reported in Qatar using genetic, morphological, and reproductive data. The closest relative of this population is found in Germany. Dispersal of propagules is believed to be via avian seasonal migration. ABSTRACT The presence of Triops cancriformis has not been broadly reported outside Europe or North Africa ...

Hidden-break diversity in pancrustacean rRNA profiles [PDF]
PeerJBackground In the 28S rRNA molecule of many invertebrates, a hidden break splits this large subunit into two noncovalently associated fragments (28Sa and 28Sb), masking 28S in electrophoretic profiles and biasing the standard measurements of RNA quality ...

Impact on Plankton Communities Following Abandonment of Rice Cultivation and Biotope Creation. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study clarified changes in plankton communities during the first year of fallow in long‐term cultivated paddy fields in Kyoto. These fields were in a fallow state, with no planting, cultivation, or fertilization occurring. When water was introduced at the same time of year as during active use and the fields were converted into biotopes, diversity

Environmental RNA-Based Metatranscriptomics as a Novel Biomonitoring Tool: A Case Study of Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Effects on Freshwater Eukaryotic Communities. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Traditional morphology‐ and molecular‐based biodiversity surveys provide essential information on species composition and diversity, but they rarely provide information about the physiological states of organisms, which are key indicators of ecosystem health.
