Brute force prey metabarcoding to explore the diets of small invertebrates. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We have used deep brute force metabarcoding to characterize prey interactions of invertebrates. Not requiring a priori sequence information or dissection, the brute force approach may enable studies on many small and enigmatic invertebrates. Abstract Prey metabarcoding has become a popular tool in molecular ecology for resolving trophic interactions at

Phytoplankton and zooplankton diversity in rural wetlands of Anand and Kheda districts, Gujarat India [PDF]

open access: yesThe Holistic Approach to Environment, 2023
Plankton diversity plays an essential role in aquatic wetlands. Phytoplankton and zooplankton communities were assessed in three permanent water bodies: Petli (S1), Deva (S2) and Heranj (S3) of the Anand and Kheda districts.

Deep Phylogeny and Character Evolution in Thecostraca (Crustacea: Maxillopoda) [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative and Comparative Biology, 2012
The thecostracans include the Facetotecta, Ascothoracida, and Cirripedia and show great diversity in both morphology and biology. This makes them ideal models for studying evolutionary adaptations of the larval and adult body-plan, lifestyle, and reproduction.

Facilitation of animals is stronger during summer marine heatwaves and around morphologically complex foundation species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Foundation species facilitate other organisms, but stressors like heatwaves affect their ecology. How facilitative processes are impacted during heatwaves is unknown. Here, heatwaves were experimentally induced with co‐occurring spatiotemporal conditions.

Dietary diversity of multiple shorebird species in an Asian subtropical wetland unveiled by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1381-1396, November 2022., 2022
Despite previous studies that analyzed the foraging niches of shorebirds worldwide, the dietary niche dynamics of shorebirds coexisting in Asia are very poorly known. This study is therefore the early few that aim to unveil the trophic organization of shorebirds in a subtropical wetland within the EAAF.

Modelling the spatial extent of post‐fire sedimentation threat to estimate the impacts of fire on waterways and aquatic species

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 2429-2442, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Fires can severely impact aquatic fauna, especially when attributes of soil, topography, fire severity and post‐fire rainfall interact to cause substantial sedimentation. Such events can cause immediate mortality and longer‐term changes in food resources and habitat structure.

Sedimentary DNA of a human‐impacted lake in Western Canada (Cultus Lake) reveals changes in micro‐eukaryotic diversity over the past ~200 years

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 1106-1119, September 2022., 2022
Using sedimentary DNA, micro‐eukaryotic communities were reconstructed in Cultus Lake, British Columbia, over the past ~200 years. Intracellular and extracellular DNA were co‐extracted and we found that these two DNA fractions yielded different information, with the preservation of extracellular DNA compromised after ~30 years of burial.

White spot syndrome virus host range and impact on transmission

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1843-1860, September 2022., 2022
Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the etiological agent of white spot disease (WSD), is a significant pathogen affecting shrimp farming industry worldwide. White spot syndrome virus is a generalist virus mainly infecting decapod crustaceans. The aims of this review were to: (1) Re‐evaluate and update the status of reported WSSV host and vector

A molecular‐based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 803-822, February 2022., 2022
Abstract To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new ...
