Spatio‐temporal patterns of eukaryotic biodiversity in shallow hard‐bottom communities from the West Antarctic Peninsula revealed by DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 7, Page 892-911, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim We studied molecular eukaryotic biodiversity patterns in shallow hard‐bottom Antarctic benthic communities using community DNA metabarcoding. Polar ecosystems are extremely exposed to climate change, and benthic macroinvertebrate communities have demonstrated rapid response to a range of natural and anthropogenic pressures.

A test for mucus removal in the chiton Lepidochitona cinerea (Linnaeus, 1767) (Polyplacophora: Chitonida: Ischnochitonidae) [PDF]
, 2014 Several methods have been proposed to ‘clean’ the soft tissues of molluscs of mucus, so that the surface cilia can be examined microscopically. We report the first empirical test of the effectiveness of methods for removing mucus in the pallial cavity surface of chitons.

Journal of Natural History, 2014 Few molecular studies have addressed the phylogenetic relationships within Acanthochitonina. Here, we use high-throughput sequencing to determine three mitochondrial genomes of Acanthochitonina. We further explore phylogenetic relationships with expanded taxon sampling based on mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data.

Evaluating the Efficiency of DNA Metabarcoding to Analyze the Diet of Hippocampus guttulatus (Teleostea: Syngnathidae). [PDF]
Life (Basel), 2021 Seahorses are considered a flagship species for conservation efforts and due to their conservation status, improving knowledge on their dietary composition while applying a non-invasive approach, could be useful.

Molecular analysis of Lepidopleuruscajetanus (Poli, 1791) (Polyplacophora, Leptochitonidae) from the Mediterranean and near Atlantic. [PDF]
Zookeys, 2022 In the present paper we used a molecular data set (including mitochondrial partial 16S rRNA and COI gene sequences) to examine the genetic structure of Lepidopleurus cajetanus (Poli, 1791) (Polyplacophora, Leptochitonidae) - a distinctive shallow water ...

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 268-286, June 2023., 2023 This study compares the gut contents of snapper in soft‐sediment habitats within and outside of New Zealand green‐lipped mussel farms. Snapper within mussel farms were consistently found to have consumed different prey groups compared to the control snapper. The prey groups consumed by snapper in mussel farms are likely more nutritious and therefore of

Invertebrate Biology, Volume 141, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Parasitic helminths with complex life cycles require multiple hosts in a particular order to complete their life cycles. Although almost all helminths infect invertebrates at some point in their life cycle, we know very little about which species of invertebrates harbor parasites compared with what is known for vertebrates. In New Zealand, <1%

Comparative allometric variation in intertidal chitons (Polyplacophora: Chitonidae) [PDF]
Zoomorphology, 2017 Allometry involves the study of the relationship between size and shape of an individual, and in particular, the manner in which shape depends on size. Animals with multi-element skeletons may have differing growth allometries in different parts of the body.

Unusual conservation of mitochondrial gene order in Crassostrea oysters: evidence for recent speciation in Asia. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2010 Background Oysters are morphologically plastic and hence difficult subjects for taxonomic and evolutionary studies. It is long been suspected, based on the extraordinary species diversity observed, that Asia Pacific is the epicenter of oyster
