Validating COI eDNA Metabarcoding Primers for Detection of Subterranean Fauna. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Subterranean ecosystems host a diverse range of ancient fauna, but studying these ecosystems is challenging due to significant sampling difficulties. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a promising approach for monitoring subterranean biodiversity, yet issues such as primer bias and non‐target amplification can complicate its ...

Shifts in Assembly Rules and Loss of Zooplankton Functional Diversity Across Hypereutrophic Fishponds. [PDF]
Ecol LettFunctional diversity of zooplankton declined sharply with increasing eutrophication in hypereutrophic fishponds, despite stable species richness. Community assembly shifted from competition to habitat filtering, leading to functional homogenization (redundancy) and altered interactions among functional guilds. Ponds with total phosphorus below 300 μg/L

The Karyology ofTisbe Reluctans(Copepoda, Harpacticoida) [PDF]
Caryologia, 1972 SUMMARYThe diploid chromosome number, 2 n = 24, has been established, in both sexes of the harpacticoid copepod Tisbe reluctans. The chromosomes are metacentric or submetacentric and differentiated sex chromosomes are not present. In the male chiasmatic bivalents form at metaphase I.

Examining Marine Assemblages Across an Inverse Salinity Gradient. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Salinity gradients and fluctuations can create a natural ecological filter, with few species tolerating salinity above 50 practical salinity units (PSUs). We investigated how an inverse salinity gradient affected marine community diversity and composition in Shark Bay, a remote hypersaline coastal embayment in Western Australia.
