Environmental RNA-Based Metatranscriptomics as a Novel Biomonitoring Tool: A Case Study of Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Effects on Freshwater Eukaryotic Communities. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Traditional morphology‐ and molecular‐based biodiversity surveys provide essential information on species composition and diversity, but they rarely provide information about the physiological states of organisms, which are key indicators of ecosystem health.

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered? [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Phytoplankton and zooplankton diversity in rural wetlands of Anand and Kheda districts, Gujarat India [PDF]

The Holistic Approach to Environment, 2023
Plankton diversity plays an essential role in aquatic wetlands. Phytoplankton and zooplankton communities were assessed in three permanent water bodies: Petli (S1), Deva (S2) and Heranj (S3) of the Anand and Kheda districts.

Groundwater environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals hidden diversity and reflects land‐use and geology

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 ...

Paired environmental DNA and dive surveys provide distinct but complementary snapshots of marine biodiversity in a temperate fjord

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.

Notes on the monogonont rotifers from submerged mosses collected on Hopen (Svalbard)

Fauna Norvegica, 1990
In this contribution 17 samples of submerged mosses, collected on Hopen (Svalbard), were studied for their rotifer content. Fourteen taxa have been identified, eleven to species level. Among these species six are new to Svalbard.
