DNA barcoding of the Thai species of terrestrial earthworms in the genera Amynthas and Metaphire (Haplotaxida: Megascolecidae)

European Journal of Soil Biology, 2017
Terrestrial earthworms in the genera Amynthas Kinberg, 1867 and Metaphire Sims and Easton, 1972 are the most dominant and abundant earthworm species in Southeast Asia. However, the classification into species level of both genera is often confusing because of morphological similarities between species, a high level of morphological variability within ...

Gaps and Data Ambiguities in DNA Reference Libraries: A Limiting Factor for Molecular-Based Biodiversity Assessments Using Annelids as a Case Study. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Regional DNA reference libraries are crucial for molecular biodiversity assessments, yet they remain incomplete, limiting their effectiveness. Using annelids from the Arabian Peninsula as a case study, we identified considerable gaps in species coverage and minimal representation in public databases.

COVID-19 Lockdown Pandemic Period Effects in Highly Impacted Aquatic Ecosystems. [PDF]

Environ Toxicol Chem, 2023
Abstract Human activities severely affect aquatic ecosystems: the lockdown restrictions due to SARS‐CoV‐2 (COVID‐19) have proved that reducing anthropogenic activities can positively influence the environment and mitigate atmospheric pollution. In addition, studies on aquatic ecosystems have highlighted the decrease in suspended matter and pollutant ...

On the nomenclatural status of some species of Haplotaxidae (Clitellata) from Guinea

Zootaxa, 2021
Our attention was recently drawn to a problem of homonymy with Villiersia d’Orbigny, 1837, a nudibranch genus, posed by Villiersia Omodeo, 1987, an oligochaete genus of the family Haplotaxidae described from the Segea cave near Kindia, Guinea (Omodeo 1987).

Taking eDNA underground: Factors affecting eDNA detection of subterranean fauna in groundwater

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1257-1274, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Stygofauna are aquatic fauna that have evolved to live underground. The impacts of anthropogenic climate change, extraction and pollution on groundwater pose major threats to groundwater health, prompting the need for efficient and reliable means to detect and monitor stygofaunal communities.

Fast-tracking bespoke DNA reference database generation from museum collections for biomonitoring and conservation. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for

Resource competition drives an invasion‐replacement event among shrew species on an island

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 3, Page 698-709, March 2023., 2023
Invasive mammals are responsible for the majority of native species extinctions on islands. This work uses DNA metabarcoding to show that an invasive shrew alters its diet between when it first invades an area and after it becomes established. This ultimately leads to the rapid replacement of a native shew through resource replacement.

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 ...
