Dietary Intake of Chromista Oil Alters Hepatic Metabolomic Profile of Mice With Excess Fat Mass [PDF]
Increasing dietary intake of fish oil is frequently recommended for decreasing the risk for cardiovascular diseases and improving metabolic health. We hypothesised that dietary intake of chromista oil (a marine food product and a rich source of long ...

Guest edited collection: fungal evolution and diversity [PDF]
There are 5 million fungal species. However, the discovery and classification of fungi are in high flux. Modern concepts indicate that the three kingdoms of “fungi” are Chromista, Fungi and Protozoa.

A Pilot Investigation of the Hidden Communities Associated With Dryas octopetala L. (Rosaceae) in Svalbard Using DNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]
A single marker revealed a considerable diversity of organisms associate with Dryas octopetala. The rhizosphere contains more taxa than the phyllosphere. Some taxa are cited for the first time in the Svalbard Archipelago. The use of different DNA marker will increase diversity data in the Svalbard Archipelago.

Geographic, Taxonomic and Metric Gaps in Biodiversity Research Limit Evidence-Based Conservation in Agricultural Landscapes: An Umbrella Review. [PDF]
We systematically reviewed 200 meta‐analyses (gathering over 9000 primary studies) on the effects of agriculture on biodiversity in croplands. Our systematic map of secondary research highlights significant geographical and taxonomic gaps, uncovering an overfocus on simple biodiversity metrics and on individual agricultural practices rather than ...

Expanding Monitoring Capacity for Potential Invasive Species in Arctic Canada With Environmental DNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]
Rapidly changing climatic conditions combined with increasing shipping traffic is going to accelerate the introduction and persistence of marine invasive species in Arctic Canada. To address this emerging threat, we propose seawater environmental DNA metabarcoding on board ships of opportunity (i.e., cruise ships) as a cost‐effective method for ...

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity. [PDF]
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.
