Optimizing a metabarcoding marker portfolio for species detection from complex mixtures of globally diverse fishes

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1589-1607, November 2023., 2023
We assessed the performance of 22 DNA metabarcoding primer sets for detecting 103 species of marine and freshwater bony fishes, elasmobranchs, cephalopods, and crustaceans. We find that a portfolio of four markers targeting 12S, 16S, and multiple regions of COI identifies all reference taxa to family and nearly 60% to species.

Juvenile Striped Bass consume diverse prey in Chesapeake Bay tributaries

open access: yesMarine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Anadromous Striped Bass Morone saxatilis are dominant predators in estuaries and coastal areas along the U.S. Atlantic coast, with the potential to exert top‐down control on prey populations. Although Striped Bass diets have been studied previously, spatiotemporal patterns of diet across ontogeny remain poorly understood, especially ...

Evaluation and optimization of an eDNA metabarcoding assay for detection of freshwater myxozoan communities

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 312-325, March 2023., 2023
We have developed a new method for determining the myxozoan biodiversity from freshwater eDNA samples. Our new approach is highly sensitive and allows researchers not only to study the biodiversity of myxozoan parasites, but also to monitor myxozoan pathogens that threaten economically important fish in aquaculture. Abstract The environmental DNA (eDNA)

Plastome sequencing reveals phylogenetic relationships among Comastoma and related taxa (Gentianaceae) from the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 22, Page 16034-16046, November 2021., 2021
Comastoma is monophyletic and has the closest relationship with Lomatogonium. Gentianaceae diverged at about 21.81 Ma, while the split of Comastoma occurred at 7.70 Ma. Abstract Genus Comastoma (subt. Swertiinae, Gentianaceae) contains species, such as “Zangyinchen,” that are important herbs in Tibetan medicine.

Achieving sustainable and climate‐resilient fisheries requires marine ecosystem forecasts to include fish condition

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 22, Issue 5, Page 1067-1084, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Marine ecosystem forecasting is an important innovation in fisheries science with considerable value for industry and management, providing new data‐driven means of predicting the distribution and availability of commercially exploited fish stocks over a range of timescales, including near‐real‐time and seasonal.

The Complete Plastome Sequences of Seven Species in Gentiana sect. Kudoa (Gentianaceae): Insights Into Plastid Gene Loss and Molecular Evolution

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The chloroplast (cp) genome is useful in the study of phylogenomics, molecular dating, and molecular evolution. Gentiana sect. Kudoa is a predominantly alpine flowering plant that is valued for its contributions to medicine, ecology, and horticulture ...

Humoral immune responses induced by Kudoa sp. (Myxosporea: Multivalvulida) antigens in BALB/c mice

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
The majority of Kudoa species infect the somatic muscle of fish establishing cysts. As there is no effective method to detect infected fish without destroying them these parasited fish reach the consumer. This work was developed to determine whether this

Effects of Kudoa septempunctata genotype ST3 isolate from Korea on ddY suckling mice

open access: yesParasite, 2016
This study investigated the effects of Kudoa septempunctata genotype ST3 spores on ddY suckling mice. Purified Kudoa septempunctata spores were administered into the stomachs of the mice at 5 × 106 or 5 × 107 spores/mouse, with inactivated Kudoa (5 × 106
