Marine sediment infauna‐based environmental assessment using metabarcoding identifies potential impact indicator species

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 3, May–June 2024.
Intertidal infaunal community data are obtained via: (1) morphological identification of macroinvertebrates from sediment cores, (2) cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA metabarcoding of the same pooled macroinvertebrate specimens, and (3) 18S ribosomal RNA (18S) DNA metabarcoding of benthic meiofauna from small volume sediment surface scrapes.

Influence of some environmental variables on the diversity and distribution of aquatic oligochaetes (Clitellata: Annelida) in the Nyong estuary (Atlantic coast, southern Cameroon)

Scientific African
Tropical estuarine ecosystems are subject to strong anthropogenic pressures, with the direct consequence of declining or lost biodiversity. An essential and little-known biological component of these estuarine ecosystems is the population of oligochaete ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals seasonal changes in diet composition across four arthropod‐eating lizard species (Phrynosomatidae: Sceloporus)

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 480-495, May 2024.
By applying DNA metabarcoding approach, we explored the seasonal diet variation among four Sceloporus lizard species (S. aeneus, S. bicanthalis, S. grammicus, and S. spinosus) inhabiting a mountainous region in central Mexico. Our results demonstrated that these species are generalist predators feeding on different arthropod orders such as Coleoptera ...

Diet in phenotypically divergent sympatric species of African weakly electric fish (genus: Campylomormyrus)—A hybrid capture/HTS metabarcoding approach

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, February 2024.
Abstract Ecological speciation within the mormyrid genus Campylomormyrus resulted in sympatric species exhibiting divergence in their feeding apparatus and electric organ discharge (EOD). This study documents the overall diet of the genus Campylomormyrus and examines the hypothesis that the Campylomormyrus radiation is caused by adaptation to different
