Metabarcoding From Microbes to Mammals: Comprehensive Bioassessment on a Global Scale

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Global biodiversity loss is unprecedented, and threats to existing biodiversity are growing. Given pervasive global change, a major challenge facing resource managers is a lack of scalable tools to rapidly and consistently measure Earth's biodiversity ...

Characterizing parasitic nematode faunas in faeces and soil using DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes can impact fecundity, development, behaviour, and survival in wild vertebrate populations. Conventional monitoring of gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes in wild populations involves morphological ...

DNA metabarcoding data unveils invisible pollination networks [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractAnimal pollination, essential for both ecological services and ecosystem functioning, is threatened by ongoing global changes. New methodologies to decipher their effects on pollinator composition to ecosystem health are urgently required. We compare the main structural parameters of pollination networks based on DNA metabarcoding data with ...

What goes in, must come out:combining scat-based molecular diet analysis and quantification of ingested microplastics in a marine top predator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Context: Microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm in size) are highly available for ingestion by a wide range of organisms, either through direct consumption or indirectly, via trophic transfer, from prey to predator.

DNA Metabarcoding of Amazonian Ichthyoplankton Swarms

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2017
Les forêts tropicales humides abritent une biodiversité extraordinaire. On pense que le bassin amazonien abrite 30 % de toutes les espèces de poissons de rivière dans le monde. Les informations sur l'écologie, la reproduction et le recrutement de la plupart des espèces font toujours défaut, ce qui entrave la gestion des pêches et le succès des ...

The bacterial hitchhiker’s guide to COI: Universal primer-based COI capture probes fail to exclude bacterial DNA, but 16S capture leaves metazoa behind [PDF]

open access: yesMetabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2022
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding from water samples has, in recent years, shown great promise for biodiversity monitoring. However, universal primers targeting the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) marker gene popular in metazoan studies have displayed ...

Can non-destructive DNA extraction of bulk invertebrate samples be used for metabarcoding? [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Background High throughput DNA sequencing of bulk invertebrate samples or metabarcoding is becoming increasingly used to provide profiles of biological communities for environmental monitoring.

Fungicides and the grapevine wood mycobiome: a case study on Tracheomycotic Ascomycete Phaemoniella chlamydospora reveals potential for two novel control strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Original ResearchPhaeomoniella chlamydospora is a tracheomycotic fungus that colonizes the xylem of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.), causing wood discoloration, brown wood streaking, gummosis, and wood necrosis, which negatively affect the overall ...

Using environmental DNA for detection of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in natural water [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Rapid, early, and reliable detection of invasive pathogenic microorganisms is essential in order to either predict or delineate an outbreak, and monitor appropriate mitigation measures. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans is expanding in
