Unclear host taxonomy hinders parasite studies: An up-to-date checklist of the protozoan and metazoan parasites of Phoxinus minnows (Teleostei: Leuciscidae). [PDF]
Abstract Phoxinus minnows are small freshwater fish found throughout Eurasia. The taxonomy of this genus is still under investigation, and new species are regularly described. They are frequently introduced outside their native range due to their use as live bait for angling, and such fish introductions can have diverse impacts on the recipient areas ...

We analyzed water sample metagenomes to estimate zooplankton diversity in 22 freshwater lakes across eastern Canada. We tested the coherence of data based on morphologically identified zooplankton taxa and molecular genetic data derived from shotgun sequencing of environmental DNA collected at the same time.
