BMC Genomics, 2011 Background Copepods are highly diverse and abundant, resulting in extensive ecological radiation in marine ecosystems. Calanus sinicus dominates continental shelf waters in the northwest Pacific Ocean and plays an important role in the local ecosystem by

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.ABSTRACT Understanding patterns of biodiversity distribution is fundamental for ecology, biogeography, and conservation. However, persistent challenges arise from the inaccessibility of many regions and habitats. Subterranean environments, in particular, host highly distinctive and specialised faunal assemblages, yet their investigation is hindered by ...

A comparison of the larvivorous habits of exotic Poecilia reticulata and native Aplocheilus parvus
BMC Ecology, 2018 Background The exotic fish Poecilia reticulata is promoted in the tropics as a biological control agent for aquatic pathogenic carriers, such as mosquitoes. Such control measures are often adopted blindly, ignoring the potential of native species and the

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of bulk zooplankton from the White and Blue Nile near Khartoum recovered 40 genus/species‐level taxa belonging to Cladocera, Copepoda, and Rotifera, representing 53%–72% of ASVs. Rotifers were the most diverse group, and low Cladocera read counts likely reflect primer mismatch despite similar morphological ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.Multi‐level eDNA metabarcoding revealed that even slight salinity changes alter the community composition of microorganisms and fish. The effect of salinity on alpha‐diversity was taxa‐dependent. Some potentially harmful microorganisms for fish were found, highlighting the importance of utilizing eDNA for monitoring.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.This study explored exotic marine benthic invertebrate species in the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea‐Bissau, through the region's first scuba‐diving biodiversity survey and DNA barcoding. Results revealed 28 new species records, including seven first‐time East Atlantic species.

A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 696-715, December 2024.Abstract Biomass estimates are crucial for modeling and understanding energy flow through ecosystems. Many modeling frameworks rely on published body weights of organisms to convert density estimates to biomass. However, published body weight data are limited to few taxa in a limited number of systems. Here we present mean individual weights for common
