Applicability of environmental DNA metabarcoding for the hyporheic zone of a stream bed

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1667-1678, November 2023., 2023
To understand whole riverine biodiversity, including hyporheric zones, it is necessary to develop a method to easily and accurately detect hyporheos communities in hyporheic zones, which currently remains poorly understood. Using eDNA metabarcoding for cytochrome‐c oxidase subunit I (COI) regions, we successfully detected various hyporheos and benthos ...

Effects of synthetic acid rain and organic and inorganic acids on survival and CaCO3 piercing stylets in tardigrades

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 339, Issue 6, Page 578-589, July 1, 2023., 2023
Tardigrades species exhibit differential sensitivity to synthetic acid rain and natural occurring acids based on pH, acid nature, exposure duration, and species (freshwater species exhibit greater resistance). Aragonite piercing stylets of feeding apparatus maintain their morphology when tardigrades are exposed to acids.

An integrative description of a population of Mesobiotus radiatus (Pilato, Binda & Catanzaro, 1991) from Kenya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In a moss sample collected from Mount Kulal in Kenya, a new population of Mesobiotus radiatus was found. Given that the original description of M. radiatus was based solely on the morphology observed by light microscopy and measurements based mostly on a

The wealth of shared resources: Improving molecular taxonomy using eDNA and public databases

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 226-234, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Public databases such as the NCBI's GenBank have been used as repositories for genomic studies for more than 30 years. In this time, our understanding of the natural world, and especially the genomic world, has expanded vastly, and the size of these databases represent this genomic revolution.

Reduced ageing in the frozen state in the tardigrade Milnesium inceptum (Eutardigrada: Apochela)

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 318, Issue 4, Page 253-259, December 2022., 2022
Tardigrades were subjected to subzero temperature treatment by cooling on agar plates from room temperature down to ‐30°C. The specimens were kept for seven days at ‐30°C without temperature fluctuations, after which the animals were allowed to slowly warm. Live and dead animals were recorded after thawing.

Seasonal turnover in community composition of stream‐associated macroinvertebrates inferred from freshwater environmental DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 861-876, July 2021., 2021
Macroinvertebrate communities are crucial for biodiversity monitoring and assessment of ecological status in stream ecosystems. Here, we use environmental DNA metabarcoding of filtered water samples collected in both spring and autumn from five streams in Denmark to address seasonal turnover in community composition of stream macroinvertebrates.

“Everything is not everywhere”: Time‐calibrated phylogeography of the genus Milnesium (Tardigrada)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 14, Page 3590-3609, July 2021., 2021
Abstract There is ample evidence that macroscopic animals form geographic clusters termed as zoogeographic realms, whereas distributions of species of microscopic animals are still poorly understood. The common view has been that micrometazoans, thanks to their putatively excellent dispersal abilities, are subject to the “Everything is everywhere but ...

New records of Mexican Tardigrada

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
In 9 moss samples collected from Mexico, 6 tardigrade species, including 4 new records for the country, were found. The new records raise the number of known Mexican water bear species to forty-one.
