Rapid detection of subterranean fauna from passive sampling of groundwater eDNA
Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1706-1719, November 2023., 2023 Groundwater is an essential source of freshwater that supports surface ecosystems as well as organisms adapted to living underground. In this study we compared groundwater environmental DNA collected from active pump filtered water samples (AFGW), membranes submerged in water, and samples of morphologically identified animals collected at the same ...

Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the

Effects of water temperature on freshwater macroinvertebrates: a systematic review
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 191-221, February 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Water temperature is one of the main abiotic factors affecting the structure and functioning of aquatic ecosystems and its alteration can have important effects on biological communities. Macroinvertebrates are excellent bio‐indicators and have been used for decades to assess the status of aquatic ecosystems as a result of environmental ...

Invertebrate Biology, Volume 141, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Parasitic helminths with complex life cycles require multiple hosts in a particular order to complete their life cycles. Although almost all helminths infect invertebrates at some point in their life cycle, we know very little about which species of invertebrates harbor parasites compared with what is known for vertebrates. In New Zealand, <1%

Neogastropod (Mollusca, Gastropoda) phylogeny: A step forward with mitogenomes
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 550-561, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The Neogastropoda (Mollusca, Gastropoda) encompass more than 15,000 described species of marine predators, including several model organisms in toxinology, embryology and physiology. However, their phylogenetic relationships remain mostly unresolved and their classification unstable.

First molecular identification of the trematode Maritrema bonaerense Etchegoin & Martorelli, 1997 (Plagiorchiida, Microphallidae) from its intermediate hosts, the gastropod Heleobia australis (d’Orbigny, 1835) (Littorinimorpha, Cochliopidae) and the crab Neohelice granulata (Dana, 1851) (Decapoda, Varunidae) in Argentina [PDF]
Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2023 The genus Maritrema Nicoll, 1907 (Platyhelminthes, Trematoda, Plagiorchiida, Microphallidae) comprises cosmopolitan species that predominantly parasitize birds.

Origin of the tropical–polar biodiversity contrast
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1207-1227, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim The aim was to investigate the evolutionary origins of the striking biodiversity contrast between high‐ and low‐latitude regions in the present day. Is this a relatively recent phenomenon, causally linked in some way to the greenhouse–icehouse transition and onset of global cooling c.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 539-553, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Leeches play important roles in food webs due to their abundance, diversity and feeding habits. Studies using invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) extracted from leech gut contents to target vertebrate DNA have focused on the Indo‐Pacific region and mainly leveraged the leech family Haemadipsidae, composed of bloodfeeding terrestrial leeches, while
