Cytotoxicity, Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Anthelmintic, and Anti‐Inflammatory Activities and FTIR Analysis of Combretum nioroense Stem Bark

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Combretum nioroense is widely used in the folkloric treatment of a variety of bacterial and helminthic infections. The decoction of its leaves is traditionally fed to newborn babies in some rural parts of Ghana. The study focused on identifying the prime components of petroleum ether and ethanolic extracts of the stem bark using standard phytochemical ...

Catch‐All No More: Integrative Systematic Revision of the Genus Allolobophora Eisen, 1874 (Crassiclitellata, Lumbricidae) with the Description of Two New Relict Earthworm Genera

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The taxonomy of earthworms has been riddled by instability, lack of systematically useful characters, and lax diagnoses of some genera. This has led to the use of some genera such as Allolobophora Eisen, 1874 as taxonomic wastebaskets, blurring their evolution and biogeographical history.

Freshwater macroinvertebrate traits assessment as complementary to taxonomic information for mining impact detection in the northern Peruvian Andes

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 1582-1596, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim We studied the distribution of freshwater macroinvertebrate taxa and traits to distinguish ecological gradients among the mining‐controlled and natural headwaters, and rural and urban economic activity influences. Location In 2016’s dry season, macroinvertebrate samples were collected at 40 locations in the Mashcon watershed, northern ...

Was the decline of saltmarsh tabanid populations after the 2010 oil spill associated with change in the larval food web?

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Horse flies of the species Tabanus nigrovittatus and Tabanus acutus are native to coastal marshlands. Their larvae are apex invertebrate predators, and their development is dependent on the food web in the marsh sediment. Surveillance of T. nigrovittatus after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico showed population crashes

Environmental DNA of preservative ethanol performed better than water samples in detecting macroinvertebrate diversity using metabarcoding

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 10, Page 1989-2002, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim High‐throughput pipelines supported by eDNA metabarcoding have been applied in various freshwater ecosystems. Both eDNA in ethanol (EtOH) samples (ES‐eDNA) and in water samples (WS‐eDNA) can provide comprehensive classification lists with good taxonomic resolution and coverage for determining freshwater biodiversity and biomonitoring. But,

Seasonal turnover in community composition of stream‐associated macroinvertebrates inferred from freshwater environmental DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 861-876, July 2021., 2021
Macroinvertebrate communities are crucial for biodiversity monitoring and assessment of ecological status in stream ecosystems. Here, we use environmental DNA metabarcoding of filtered water samples collected in both spring and autumn from five streams in Denmark to address seasonal turnover in community composition of stream macroinvertebrates.

Trophic structure of a pond community dominated by an invasive alien species: Insights from stomach content and stable isotope analyses

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 948-963, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Invaders affect native species across multiple trophic levels, influencing the structure and stability of freshwater communities. Based on the ‘trophic position hypothesis’, invaders at the top of the food web are more harmful to native species via direct and indirect effects than trophically analogous native predators are. However, introduced
