Fauna Europaea: Gastrotricha [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2015
Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including important synonyms) of all living European land and freshwater animals, their geographical distribution at country level (up to the Urals, excluding the Caucasus ...

Improved taxonomic and gene sampling advance the knowledge of deep relationships within Macrodasyida (Gastrotricha). [PDF]

Cladistics
Abstract Advances in Macrodasyida (Gastrotricha) phylogenetics, fuelled by new species discoveries and molecular data, are reshaping taxonomic classifications. Molecular analyses suggest polyphyly in Cephalodasyidae and Macrodasyidae, yet insufficient sampling continues to obscure precise relationships.

The Biogeography of Apicomplexan Parasites in Tropical Soils. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigate the belowground biogeography of an important yet poorly described group of soil parasites, the Apicomplexa. We found both biotic and abiotic drivers that contribute to shaping the diversity and distribution of dominant Apicomplexa in tropical soil systems.

Metacommunity Theory and Metabarcoding Reveal the Environmental, Spatial and Biotic Drivers of Meiofaunal Communities in Sandy Beaches. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Understanding the processes that shape community assembly is a critical focus of ecology. Marine benthic meiofauna, microscopic invertebrates inhabiting sediment environments, play important roles in ecosystem functioning but have been largely overlooked in metacommunity studies due to the lack of community data. In this study, we quantify the

Description of a New Scaled Species of Ptychostomella (Gastrotricha: Macrodasyida) from the Brazilian Coast and a Cladistics Analysis of the Genus

Taxonomy, 2021
A new species of marine Gastrotricha from the north coast of São Paulo state, Brazil, is described. Adults of Ptychostomella sebastiana sp. nov. are unique in that they possess a pair of dorsolateral “rod-like” cephalic sensory organs and subrectangular ...

A New Species of Paraturbanella Remane, 1927 (Gastrotricha, Macrodasyida) from the Brazilian Coast, and the Molecular Phylogeny of Turbanellidae Remane, 1926

Diversity, 2020
The family Turbanellidae includes Paraturbanella and five other genera. Despite the fact that the monophyly of these genera were not satisfactorily tested, species belonging to the genus Paraturbanella are distinguished from turbanellids by sharing a ...

Trophic Plasticity of the Invasive Redbelly Tilapia (<i>Coptodon zillii</i>) in China Inferred From DNA Metabarcoding Analysis. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The feeding patterns of invasive populations of C. zillii in different habitats and seasons within a large‐scale geographic area (spanning 9.86° latitude and 10.47° longitude) in China were directly compared. ABSTRACT The redbelly tilapia (Coptodon zillii) is one of the most dangerous invasive alien fishes in the world.

Improving Whole Biodiversity Monitoring and Discovery With Environmental DNA Metagenomics. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metagenomics sequences all DNA molecules present in environmental samples and has the potential of identifying virtually any organism from which they are derived. However, due to unacceptable levels of false positives and negatives, this approach is underexplored as a tool for biodiversity monitoring across the tree of

Taxonomic and nomenclatural notes on freshwater Gastrotricha

Zootaxa, 2009
Some taxonomic and nomenclatural remarks concerning freshwater species of Gastrotricha Chaetonotida are presented. In the family Chaetonotidae, the subgenus Chaetonotus (Hystricochaetonotus) is synonimized with the subgenus C. (Chaetonotus sensu stricto). The genus Lepidochaetus is moved to a subgeneric rank into the genus Chaetonotus, and the subgenus
