Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Although wild ungulate populations are heavily monitored throughout Europe, we understand little of how parasites affect population dynamics, and there is no systematic, long-term monitoring of parasite diversity and parasite loads.

Determining prey spectra of carnivorous sundews using DNA-metabarcoding
, 2021 Prey spectra of five closely-related species of carnivorous plants (Drosera sect. Arachnopus, Droseraceae) were investigated in their natural habitats in Western Australia using novel in-situ macro photography and DNA-metabarcoding techniques.

Estuarine benthic diversity declines with temperature across a tropical–temperate gradient
Ecography, EarlyView.Estuarine benthic sediments are important habitats that support ecosystem health and productivity, but the drivers of large‐scale patterns in benthic diversity are not well documented. Using 18S amplicon sequencing of 425 sediment DNA samples from estuaries spanning 20° of latitude along Australia's east coast, we assessed tropical–temperate patterns ...

Environmental DNA, 2020 Fine‐scale estimation of trophic interactions is an important subject in the field of ecology. Diet analysis based on fecal DNA metabarcoding has been accepted as a noninvasive, accurate, and time‐ and cost‐effective tool to determine animal diets. Here,

Does phylogeny explain bias in quantitative DNA metabarcoding?
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2023 Estimating species biomass or abundance from the number of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) reads is an aspirational goal for DNA metabarcoding, yet studies have found varied correlations. Performance varies depending on the gene marker and taxonomic group and, in part, may be related to primer-template mismatches, which are likely to exhibit ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Efficacy of metabarcoding for identification of fish eggs evaluated with mock communities
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 There is urgent need for effective and efficient monitoring of marine fish populations. Monitoring eggs and larval fish may be more informative than that traditional fish surveys since ichthyoplankton surveys reveal the reproductive activities of fish ...

DNA metabarcoding uncovers the diet of subterranean rodents in China
PLOS ONE, 2022 Objective A type of rodent called a zokor causes great harm to agriculture and forestry production due to its large and sophisticated diet. As this rodent lives subterrane for most of its life, researchers know little about its dietary habits. Further understanding of its diet is important for developing green and sustainable control strategies for ...
