DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Tardigrades' Diversity and Dispersal Patterns in European Freshwater Rock Pools

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater rock pools are ephemeral and fragile habitats that support specialised animal taxa. While distributed worldwide, these habitats are usually neglected and overlooked. We used DNA metabarcoding and metaphylogeographic approaches to study inter and intraspecific tardigrade biodiversity to identify their biogeographic patterns to ...

Ecological and Genetic Insights Into Antarctic Fairy Shrimp, Branchinecta gaini Daday, 1910 (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) Populations on King George Island, Antarctica

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Antarctic fairy shrimp (Branchinecta gaini) is the largest inland animal in Antarctica and a key component of its freshwater ecosystems. Despite its broad distribution, little is known about its population structure, habitat tolerance, and potential vulnerability to climate change. This study investigated the occurrence, genetic structure,

A new fairy shrimp, Branchinecta piurae sp. nov. (Branchiopoda: Anostraca), from Peru

Zootaxa, 2022
South American species of Branchinecta that inhabit high altitude biotopes are so far represented by B. brushi and B. papillata. Here we describe a new species inhabiting these extreme habitats, B. piurae sp. nov., whose closest species is B. papillata. Differential characters of B.

From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.
