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 ...

Characterization of plankton from the Galveston estuary [PDF]
The purpose of this report is to summarize the published studies on phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Galveston Estuary. Before this project had begun, it was determined that there was insufficient long term data on plankton in the Galveston Estuary ...

Molecular phylogeny of the Notostraca [PDF]
We used a combined analysis of one nuclear (28S rDNA) and three mitochondrial markers (COI, 12S rDNA, 16S rDNA) to infer the molecular phylogeny of the Notostraca, represented by samples from the six continents that are inhabited by this group of ...

We designed and validated taxon‐specific metabarcoding primers for Cladocera, Copepoda and Rotifera. These primers were subsequently used to assess optimal sample preservation and DNA extraction protocols, and perform an in‐depth evaluation of key factors influencing the quantitative nature of the freshwater zooplankton metabarcoding surveys.

Environmental Flows Rapidly Increase Zooplankton Abundance in a Regulated Lowland River
ABSTRACT Zooplankton are important parts of the food web that support the survival of larval fish in floodplain rivers. Zooplankton abundance and community structure are sensitive to flow‐driven changes in the environment, which have been heavily impacted by river regulation with dams.
