The wealth of shared resources: Improving molecular taxonomy using eDNA and public databases

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 226-234, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Public databases such as the NCBI's GenBank have been used as repositories for genomic studies for more than 30 years. In this time, our understanding of the natural world, and especially the genomic world, has expanded vastly, and the size of these databases represent this genomic revolution.

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

Integrative Descriptions of Two New Mesobiotus Species (Tardigrada, Eutardigrada, Macrobiotidae) from Vietnam

Diversity, 2021
To date, 34 tardigrade taxa have been recorded from Vietnam and this includes only two macrobiotid species belonging to the genus Mesobiotus. In this paper, two additional species of this genus, one of the M. harmsworthi group and one of the M.

Taxonomic and Faunistic Novelties on Macrobiotids (Tardigrada: Macrobiotidae) from Neotropical Peripheral Mountain Systems [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The Neotropical peripheral mountain systems in Colombia, including the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Montes de María, and Serranía de Piojó, have remained underexplored due mainly to historical armed conflicts. This study focuses on tardigrade diversity,

High diversity in species, reproductive modes and distribution within the Paramacrobiotus richtersi complex (Eutardigrada, Macrobiotidae). [PDF]

Zoological Lett, 2019
For many years, Paramacrobiotus richtersi was reported to consist of populations with different chromosome numbers and reproductive modes. To clarify the relationships among different populations, the type locality of the species (Clare Island, Ireland ...
