Advancing Ecological Understanding and Sustainable Management of Small Pelagic Fish

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish (SPF) are critical to the trophodynamic structure and function of marine systems and support some of the most valuable and socially important fisheries worldwide. Their “boom and bust” population dynamics, shifts in distribution, and importance as forage resources for other fish stocks place unique challenges to assessing ...

Evaluation and application of eDNA metabarcoding primers of fish: A case study in an estuarine ecosystem

Global Ecology and Conservation
The selection of primers is crucial for conducting eDNA metabarcoding studies, particularly in estuarine regions characterized by complex habitats and high fish diversity. However, most previous eDNA metabarcoding studies have not systematically screened

Large-Scale Monitoring of Plants through Environmental DNA Metabarcoding of Soil: Recovery, Resolution, and Annotation of Four DNA Markers.

PLoS ONE, 2016
In a rapidly changing world we need methods to efficiently assess biodiversity in order to monitor ecosystem trends. Ecological monitoring often uses plant community composition to infer quality of sites but conventional aboveground surveys only capture ...

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial

Combined water and detritus sampling is the most effective strategy to detect environmental DNA of macroinvertebrates in rivers

Ecological Indicators
Although environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding technology has been increasingly applied in freshwater ecosystems, the effectiveness of conventional water sampling and other adaptive metabarcoding methods for detecting macroinvertebrates has not been ...

Fungal, not insect: Revisiting a misidentified Bemisia tabaci protein interacting with a begomovirus coat protein

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A small heat‐shock protein (HSP16) previously reported as insect‐derived in Bemisia tabaci actually originates from a fungal species of the genus Wallemia. BLAST, genome survey and phylogenetic analyses support the fungal origin and clarify persistent misattribution in the literature.

Enhancing fish community monitoring at a cabled observatory by combining environmental DNA and imaging analysis

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cabled multiparametric observatories are sustaining ecological monitoring by collecting long‐term real‐time biological and environmental data. Here, we investigated fish communities by sampling environmental DNA (eDNA) over 4 days near the multiparametric cabled video‐observatory OBSEA (Northwestern Mediterranean Sea).

Comparative Analysis of Pasture Composition: DNA Metabarcoding Versus Quadrat‐Based Botanical Surveys in Experimental Grassland Plots

Ecology and Evolution
DNA metabarcoding provides a scalable alternative to traditional botanical surveys, which are often time‐consuming and reliant on taxonomic expertise.
