Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 13, Page 3497-3512, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite being the most important source of liquid freshwater on the planet, groundwater is severely threatened by climate change, agriculture, or industrial mining. It is thus extensively monitored for pollutants and declines in quantity. The organisms living in groundwater, however, are rarely the target of surveillance programmes and little ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 597-612, May 2023., 2023 We examined the vertical stratification of eDNA in a fjord ecosystem as well as compared eDNA results with concurrent dive surveys. We found that surface eDNA communities were distinct from midwater and bottom, and dive surveys and eDNA sampling provided unique yet complimentary snapshots of biodiversity in the nearshore environment.

Fine structure of the retrocerebral organ in the rotifer Trichocerca similis (Monogononta)
Invertebrate Biology, Volume 142, Issue 1, March 2023., 2023 Abstract The retrocerebral organ (RCO) is a complex glandular system that is widely distributed across species of phylum Rotifera (sensu stricto). This system is hypothesized to secrete mucus that aids in benthic locomotion, adhesion, and/or reproduction.

White spot syndrome virus host range and impact on transmission
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1843-1860, September 2022., 2022 Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the etiological agent of white spot disease (WSD), is a significant pathogen affecting shrimp farming industry worldwide. White spot syndrome virus is a generalist virus mainly infecting decapod crustaceans. The aims of this review were to: (1) Re‐evaluate and update the status of reported WSSV host and vector

Characterization and biogeographic affinity of megazoobenthos in the Central Mediterranean Sea
Marine Ecology, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2021., 2021 Abstract The Strait of Sicily (SoS) is a key area in the Central Mediterranean Sea characterized by high biodiversity and demersal fisheries productivity. Further, it is traditionally considered the main biogeographic boundary between the Western and Eastern basins of the Mediterranean.
