Zooplankton Community Composition in the White and Blue Niles Near Khartoum: Combining Molecular and Morphological Approaches

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

A comparison of the larvivorous habits of exotic Poecilia reticulata and native Aplocheilus parvus

open access: yesBMC 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

Distinct Community Compositions of Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes, and Fishes Revealed Through Environmental DNA Analysis at Different Salinities Around Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, Japan

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.

DETECTION OF THE PRESENCE OF BOTH SPECIES SINANODONTA WOODIANA(LEA, 1834) AND SINANODONTALAUTA(MARTENS, 1877) (BIVALVIA, UNIONIDA, UNIONIDAE) IN THE LATE HOLOCENE SEDIMENTS OF SOUTHERN IRAQ

open access: yesBulletin of the Iraq Natural History Museum
The new pelecypod Sinanodonta lauta (Martens, 1877)(Bivalvia, Unionida, Unionidae), represented by specimens collected from seven sites on both banks of the Euphrates River (NW of Basrah Province), was recordedfor the first timein ...

A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates

open access: yesLimnology 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

Benthic Infauna in the Shallow-Water Hydrothermal System of Banderas Bay, Mexico: A Two-Period Comparison

open access: yesDiversity
At a depth of approximately 9 m off the coast of Banderas Bay, hydrothermal activity occurs through various seabed vents, discharging liquids and gases that reach temperatures of up to 89 °C and pH values lower than the surrounding seawater.

DNA barcoding identifies a cosmopolitan diet in the ocean sunfish

open access: yes, 2016
The ocean sunfish (Mola mola) is the world’s heaviest bony fish reaching a body mass of up to 2.3 tonnes. However, the prey M. mola consumes to fuel this prodigious growth remains poorly known.

Environmental DNA reveals fine‐scale spatial and temporal variation of marine mammals and their prey species in a Scottish marine protected area

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 4, July–August 2024.
Prey are an important driver of fine‐scale habitat use by marine mammals, but their distributions are often poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that eDNA metabarcoding can reveal fine‐scale spatiotemporal differences in cetacean distributions and their key prey species, including spatial partitioning between sympatric cetacean species with ...

Duurzame Schelpdiertransporten [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Er worden regelmatig schelpdieren geïmporteerd uit verschillende landen naar de Nederlandse kustwateren ten behoeve van de schelpdiercultuur. Met de import van schelpdieren bestaat de kans dat er onbedoeld ongewenste organismen zoals exoten, ziektes en ...
