Fish Gut Metabarcoding Detects Diets and Parasites Simultaneously

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
Understanding dietary habits and trophic niches of species is crucial for the conservation and management of species and ecosystems. We applied a multimarker metabarcoding approach to assess the diet and parasites of commercially exploited beaked redfish (Sebastes mentella).

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

Re‐evaluation of certain aspects of the EFSA Scientific Opinion of April 2010 on risk assessment of parasites in fishery products, based on new scientific data. Part 2

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract The objective of this opinion was to determine if any wild caught fish species, originating from specific fishing grounds and consumed in the EU/EFTA could be considered free of zoonotic parasites. In this Opinion the term ‘fishery products’ only refers to fresh finfish.

Enhancing metabarcoding efficiency and ecological insights through integrated taxonomy and DNA reference barcoding: A case study on beach meiofauna

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 7, October 2024.
Abstract Molecular techniques like metabarcoding, while promising for exploring diversity of communities, are often impeded by the lack of reference DNA sequences available for taxonomic annotation. Our study explores the benefits of combining targeted DNA barcoding and morphological taxonomy to improve metabarcoding efficiency, using beach meiofauna ...

Effects of marsh wetland degradation on the soil nematode community composition and functions in the Songnen Plain, northeastern China

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Wetland degradation is a major threat to global biodiversity. Knowing how soil nematodes respond to wetland degradation can help predict its impact on ecosystem functions.

Characterization of the Ca2+-gated and voltage-dependent K+-channel Slo-1 of nematodes and its interaction with emodepside.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
The cyclooctadepsipeptide emodepside and its parent compound PF1022A are broad-spectrum nematicidal drugs which are able to eliminate nematodes resistant to other anthelmintics.

Habitat conditions and not moss composition mediate microbial community structure in Swiss peatlands

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2024.
Prokaryotes and microeukaryotes associated with moss play a pivotal role in preserving the functioning of peatland ecosystems. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the environmental variables that most significantly influence their composition. Our research, employing structural equation modelling and Mantel tests, underscores that it is not the ...

Community ecology across bacteria, archaea and microbial eukaryotes in the sediment and seawater of coastal Puerto Nuevo, Baja California.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Microbial communities control numerous biogeochemical processes critical for ecosystem function and health. Most analyses of coastal microbial communities focus on the characterization of bacteria present in either sediment or seawater, with fewer ...
