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.

Microbial methods matter: Identifying discrepancies between microbiome denoising pipelines using a leaf biofilm taphonomic dataset. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract 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.

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.

Trophic interrelationships of bacteria are important for shaping soil protist communities. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep, 2023
Abstract Protists occupy multiple trophic positions in soil food webs and significantly contribute to organic matter decomposition and biogeochemical cycling. Protists can ingest bacteria and fungi as main food sources while being subjected to predation of invertebrates, but our understanding of how bottom‐up and top‐down regulations structure protists

Hydrological Connectivity Enhances Fish Biodiversity in Amazonian Mining Ponds: Insights From eDNA and Traditional Sampling. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...

Sistematização de um mapa conceitual sobre Chaetonotida (Gastrotricha) como fomento ao estudo da biodiversidade

Brazilian Journal of Development, 2023
O avanço das técnicas de microscopia, bioimagem, análise molecular e bioinformática possibilitou a investigação detalhada de organismos invisíveis a olho nu, o que resultou na descoberta de diversos táxons previamente desconhecidos.

Chave de identificação de Gastrotricha de águas continentais e marinhas do Brasil

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2010
Os Gastrotricha são microinvertebrados de vida livre, caracterizados por um estilo de vida meiobentônico em ambientes marinhos e de água doce. Apesar de este grupo ser abundante e ecologicamente importante nas teias alimentares, o seu conhecimento no ...

Capturing drifting species and molecules—Lessons learned from integrated approaches to assess marine metazoan diversity in highly dynamic waters

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1541-1556, November 2023., 2023
By using an integrated morphological and genetic approach, we validated eDNA and zooplankton metabarcoding as a holistic approach to reliably identify marine metazoan fauna in highly dynamic waters of the North Sea. COI metabarcoding outperformed 18S V4 metabarcoding in terms of the number of detected species.

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.
