Abstract Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) was assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular, the criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on its eligibility to be listed, Annex IV for its categorisation according to disease prevention and control rules as in Article 9, and Article 8 for ...

Unintended changes in transgenic maize cause no nontarget effects
Genetic engineering is used to introduce new genes into plants to obtain crops with novel traits. However, the unintended effects of genetically engineered (GE) crops on nontarget organisms—such as beneficial insects—are a topic of much concern.

TransPi—a comprehensive TRanscriptome ANalysiS PIpeline for de novo transcriptome assembly
Abstract The use of RNA sequencing (RNA‐Seq) data and the generation of de novo transcriptome assemblies have been pivotal for studies in ecology and evolution. This is especially true for nonmodel organisms, where no genome information is available.

A New Replacement Name for an Upper Jurassic Genus of Clam Shrimp (Branchiopoda: Diplostraca)
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.

This study is a field‐based validation of the application of DNA metabarcoding to quantitatively assess diets of wild‐living songbirds in temperate woodland ecosystems. The average relative read abundance of arthropod orders in fecal samples matched the scaled biomass contribution of these orders as observed on nestbox cameras.

Onychocaudata (Branchiopoda: Diplostraca), a new high-level taxon in branchiopod systematics [PDF]
The systematics of Branchiopoda has received much attention in recent years, and a full understanding of the higher-level classification seems close. Based on a number of phylogenetic analyses involving both morphological and molecular data, some higher-level taxon names have been resurrected in the last decades (Phyllopoda, Diplostraca, Cladocera ...

Reassignment of Lioestheria codoensis Cardoso (Spinicaudata, Anthronestheriidae) from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil: systematics and paleoecology [PDF]
Lioestheria codoensis Cardoso was described from materials originally collected from the Codó Formation (Lower Cretaceous, Parnaíba Basin, Piauí State), northeastern Brazil. Since its discovery L.

Abstract Inducible morphological defences are crucial for understanding predator–prey interactions. Such defences have been mostly studied in a single‐predator context, ignoring the fact that prey organisms are often exposed to multiple predators. In deep peri‐Alpine European lakes, the keystone grazer Daphnia coexists with two cladoceran predators ...

The Application of DNA Barcodes for the Identification of Marine Crustaceans from the North Sea and Adjacent Regions [PDF]
During the last years DNA barcoding has become a popular method of choice for molecular specimen identification. Here we present a comprehensive DNA barcode library of various crustacean taxa found in the North Sea, one of the most extensively studied ...

A molecular‐based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland
Abstract To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new ...
