From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Fine-Scale Ecological Biomonitoring in a Large, Complex Agriculturally Impacted Watershed via eDNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT DNA‐based approaches utilizing high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) (e.g., DNA metabarcoding) have revolutionized ecological biomonitoring by providing higher sample throughput, greater reproducibility, and better cost‐benefits compared to traditional morphology‐based bioassessment studies.

Discovery and Evaluation of Cadmium-Adapted Daphnia pulex Genotypes in a Region of Historical Mining Reveals Adaptation Protects the Germline From Cadmium-Induced Mutations. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Exposure to chemical pollutants can alter the rate and genome‐wide distribution of germline mutations. However, studies measuring the effects of chemical exposure on mutation rates and spectra have not considered the ecological and evolutionary backgrounds of the studied genotypes, which could influence the rates and patterns of germline ...

Biological aspects of the Spinicaudata (Branchiopoda, Diplostraca) in the largest alluvial wetland in Croatia [PDF]
Crustaceana, 2006 Lonjsko Polje (Croatia) is among the largest alluvial wetlands in Europe. Temporary ponds that are the natural habitat for spinicaudatan branchiopods are very abundant in the area. We determined the time of occurrence, length of the life span, and the sexual structure and habitat characteristics of populations of Spinicaudata.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 11, Page 1420-1431, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim In 2024, cargo vessels must meet the International Maritime Organization's global ballast water discharge standards (IMO D‐2) that limit the concentration of living organisms. D‐2 focuses on reducing invasion risk by reducing ‘community propagule pressure (CPP)’, though it does not consider colonization pressure (CP).

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 1016-1031, September 2023., 2023 This article highlights the utility and limitations of environmental nucleic acid‐based metabarcoding in accurately quantifying decay rates using two barcode markers targeting Arthropoda taxa. We demonstrate the need for further comparative studies using both metabarcoding and single‐species detection methods to assess the persistence and degradation ...

A New Replacement Name for an Upper Jurassic Genus of Clam Shrimp (Branchiopoda: Diplostraca)
Paleontological Journal, 2023 One junior homonym was detected within fossil Branchiopoda and the following name is therefore proposed to replace it: Jurapingquania Ceccolini and Cianferoni nom. nov. = Pingquania Wang in Wang and Li, 2008 nec Guo and Duan, 1978.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 331-352, August 2023., 2023 This paper is a review paper based on biofloc technology (BFT). In this paper the current global status of BFT, the biology behind the technique and areas for future expansion are discussed. Abstract Increased food demand, reflecting a rising global human population, attaining 8 billion in 2022, has furthered the intensification of farmed aquatic ...
