Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Epilithic biofilms along a latitudinal gradient of Arctic/alpine lakes and streams were analysed for their composition of algae (incl. cyanobacteria) and meiofaunal assemblages and correlated these with environmental variables. The composition of algal, meiofauna and nematode assemblages differed between lakes and streams.

Wetland biodiversity in Aotearoa New Zealand: an eDNA perspective on exotic and non‐exotic species
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 410-427, December 2025.ABSTRACT Invasive species threaten biodiversity in Aotearoa New Zealand. In wetlands − significant sites that provide an array of ecosystem and cultural services but represent <10% of their original extent − invasive species can affect hydrological function, nutrient regimes and overall ecological functionality.

Fake Webs, Real Results: Artificial Spiderwebs for eDNA Collection
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.We designed artificial spiderwebs to see if they are as good as natural spiderwebs at capturing airborne DNA. In comparison to water eDNA methods, both natural and artificial spiderwebs revealed a distinct signature of terrestrial communities, while artificial webs served as a good proxy for natural webs ‐ without the negative impacts on spiders and ...

Freshwater Gastrotricha of Poland. I. Gastrotricha from the Tatra and Karkonosze Mountains [PDF]
Fragmenta Faunistica, 1986 Res\ilts of the research on gastrotrichan fauna of the Tatra and Karkonosze Moun tains. 39 species were recorded, solely of the fam ily Chaetonotidae. Out of the identified 33 species, 3 species (Chaetonotus sudeticus, Aspidiophorus tatraensis and A. tetrachaetus) are new' to science, Ch. formosus is new to the fauna of Europe, w hile Ch.

Macroecological and Biogeographic Patterns of Kinorhyncha in the Iberian Peninsula
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Biogeography and macroecology aim to understand the processes that determine patterns in nature. In the marine environment, most of what we know has been documented for fish and macrobenthic organisms. As a result, this knowledge is negatively biased towards smaller benthic organisms, including meiofauna.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2380-2394, October 2025.Abstract The identification of organisms in environmental samples using metabarcoding relies on factors such as taxonomic assignment methods, genetic markers, reference databases and confidence thresholds for taxonomic assignment. Because lineages evolve at different rates, a global threshold (e.g.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Thermokarst lakes are formed following ice-rich permafrost thaw and widely distribute in the cold regions with high latitude and elevation. However, the micro-eukaryotic communities (MECs) in thermokarst lakes are not well studied.

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.We assess the resolution of eDNA metabarcoding for detecting rocky intertidal taxa across three spatial scales—national, regional, and local. Distinct eDNA signals were observed at each scale, with community differences more pronounced at broader scales.
