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

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

The phylogenetic position of Neogosseidae (Gastrotricha: Chaetonotida) and the origin of planktonic Gastrotricha [PDF]
Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2015 Planktonic forms of Gastrotricha have been known since the 1850s, despite the fact that they are rather uncommon and difficult to collect. They are characterized by a round sack-shaped body, an absence of furcal adhesive tubes, and a different distribution of the locomotory ciliation compared to epibenthic and periphytic gastrotrichs. Today, planktonic

Microbial methods matter: Identifying discrepancies between microbiome denoising pipelines using a leaf biofilm taphonomic dataset. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise The occurrence of different microorganisms on aquatic macrophyte fossils suggests that biofilm microbes may facilitate leaf preservation. Understanding the impact of microorganisms on leaf preservation requires studies on living plants coupled with microbial amplicon sequencing.

Rotiferan Hox genes give new insights into the evolution of metazoan bodyplans [PDF]
, 2017 The phylum Rotifera consists of minuscule, nonsegmented animals with a unique body plan and an unresolved phylogenetic position. The presence of pharyngeal articulated jaws supports an inclusion in Gnathifera nested in the Spiralia.
