Species Delimitation and Cryptic Diversity in Rheotanytarsus Thienemann & Bause, 1913 (Diptera: Chironomidae) Based on DNA Barcoding

Insects
The genus Rheotanytarsus Thienemann & Bause, 1913 (Diptera: Chironomidae) currently includes more than 120 recognized species worldwide, but precise species-level identification based solely on morphology remains challenging.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Environmental DNA–RNA dynamics provide insights for effective monitoring of marine invasive species [PDF]

Environmental DNA and RNA (eDNA/eRNA) can serve as molecular tools for biodiversity monitoring and biosecurity surveillance. However, uncertainties still exist regarding the persistence and dynamics of marine nucleic acids in the environment and the ...

Genetic Reference Gaps Limit eDNA Metabarcoding and Biodiversity Monitoring of Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems

Environmental DNA
Mangroves support high faunal diversity and provide essential ecological services. However, biodiversity assessments in these habitats remain constrained by their structural complexity, resulting in limited accessibility, low visibility, and persistent ...

Comparative Mitogenomic Analyses of Psectrocladius (Diptera: Chironomidae)

Insects
Psectrocladius, a genus within the species-rich subfamily Orthocladiinae (Diptera: Chironomidae), remains poorly resolved in molecular phylogenetics due to limited available molecular data. Here, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitogenomes of five

The complete mitochondrial genome of the invasive cyanobacteriosponge Terpios hoshinota (Demospongiae, Suberitida, Suberitidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023
The cyanobacteriosponge Terpios hoshinota occurs on tropical reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific. The species encrusts live coral, and other benthos, and is considered a pest species that can threaten the health and productivity of locally native benthic ...

Getting to the Root of Organic Inputs in Groundwaters: Stygofaunal Plant Consumption in a Calcrete Aquifer

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Groundwater environments interact with and support subterranean biota as well as superficial aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However, knowledge of subterranean energy flows remains incomplete.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Assessing the Potential of Environmental DNA for Monitoring Nature‐Like Bypasses: Erroneous Surveillance Owing to DNA Flow‐Through [PDF]

Nature-like bypasses refer to fishways that simulate natural streams. Apart from facilitating fish migrations, bypasses possess the capacity to enhance biodiversity in dammed rivers.

Making environmental DNA count [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2015
The arc of reception for a new technology or method – like the reception of new information itself – can pass through predictable stages, with audiences’ responses evolving from ‘I don't believe it’, through ‘well, maybe’ to ‘yes, everyone knows that’ to, finally, ‘old news’.
