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

The complete mitochondrial genome of Harpago chiragra and Lambis lambis (Gastropoda: Stromboidea): implications on the Littorinimorpha phylogeny. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractThe complete mitochondrial genomes ofHarpago chiragraandLambis lambis(Strombidae) were determined with the size of 15,460 bp and 15,481 bp, respectively, and both sequences contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs.H. chiragraandL.

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Citizen science (CS) expands the spatial and temporal scale of alien species records. As such, it has been recognized as a complementary tool in alien species management and large‐scale biodiversity conservation. The present study assessed the contribution of CS to the recording of marine alien fishes and mollusks in European marine waters by ...

Hide ‘n seq: Direct versus indirect metabarcoding of coral reef cryptic communities
Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 93-107, January 2022., 2022 Cryptic diversity of coral reef habitat was compared among metabarcoding methods using standardized autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) and eDNA applying a broad eukaryotic marker (COI). Metabarcoding of biomass from ARMS and eDNA from water samples revealed fundamentally different communities of cryptic coral reef habitat with little overlap ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 10, Page 1989-2002, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim High‐throughput pipelines supported by eDNA metabarcoding have been applied in various freshwater ecosystems. Both eDNA in ethanol (EtOH) samples (ES‐eDNA) and in water samples (WS‐eDNA) can provide comprehensive classification lists with good taxonomic resolution and coverage for determining freshwater biodiversity and biomonitoring. But,

A bioturbation classification of European marine infaunal invertebrates [PDF]
, 2013 Bioturbation, the biogenic modification of sediments through particle reworking and burrow ventilation, is a key mediator of many important geochemical processes in marine systems.

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 861-876, July 2021., 2021 Macroinvertebrate communities are crucial for biodiversity monitoring and assessment of ecological status in stream ecosystems. Here, we use environmental DNA metabarcoding of filtered water samples collected in both spring and autumn from five streams in Denmark to address seasonal turnover in community composition of stream macroinvertebrates.

Environmental DNA shedding and decay rates from diverse animal forms and thermal regimes
Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 492-514, March 2021., 2021 We conducted mesocosm experiments using a fish, a crustacean, and two scyphomedusae to investigate how environmental DNA (eDNA) shedding differs between animal forms and how long eDNA can persist in waters of different temperature and light conditions. We found that shedding rates were highly variable for all organisms, but grass shrimp had the lowest ...
