Ozonated irrigation in vineyards: limited effects on soil bacterial and fungal microbiota

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Irrigation with ozonated water caused slight changes in bacterial composition but did not significantly affect microbial diversity, beneficial microbes (plant growth‐promoting bacteria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), or grapevine trunk disease‐related pathogens.

Characterizing parasitic nematode faunas in faeces and soil using DNA metabarcoding

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes can impact fecundity, development, behaviour, and survival in wild vertebrate populations. Conventional monitoring of gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes in wild populations involves morphological ...

Selective-logging and oil palm: Multitaxon impacts, biodiversity indicators, and trade-offs for conservation planning [PDF]

, 2014
Strong global demand for tropical timber and agricultural products has driven large-scale logging and subsequent conversion of tropical forests. Given that the majority of tropical landscapes have been or will likely be logged, the protection of ...

Plate tectonics in the microscopy realm: Molecular insights into morphological variability of Peridinium willei (Peridiniales, Dinophyceae)

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Freshwater Peridinium willei (Peridiniaceae) is globally distributed, but reports linking its morphologies with DNA sequence data remain scarce. The taxonomy of the species, and its infraspecific taxa, remain ambiguous due to the lack of DNA sequence data for the original and type material.

Hidden diversity of Acoelomorpha revealed through metabarcoding [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2016
Animals with bilateral symmetry comprise the majority of the described species within Metazoa. However, the nature of the first bilaterian animal remains unknown. As most recent molecular phylogenies point to Xenacoelomorpha as the sister group to the rest of Bilateria, understanding their biology, ecology and diversity is key to reconstructing the ...

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

Dietary differentiation of two co‐occurring common bat species (Eptesicus nilssonii and Pipistrellus pygmaeus)

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Sympatric bat species can co‐exist and avoid interspecific competition via niche differentiation e.g. diet. Detecting dietary differences can be achieved by comparing dietary niches of sympatric and allopatric populations. If dietary overlap is higher in sympatry versus allopatry, co‐occurrence may be altering the dietary niche of the species.

Aplicaciones de las técnicas de ADN ambiental en Ciencias Ambientales [PDF]

, 2020
El ADN ambiental (eDNA) es una técnica que analiza el material genético liberado por individuos que han transitado o habitan en el medio muestreado con el objetivo de identificar las especies a las que pertenece dicho material.

DBP Metabarcoding Pipeline (for metabarcoding data using nanopore) v1

This pipeline was developed to process MinION nanopore data output for metabarcoding purposes. The process begins with raw FASTQ data from nanopore base-calling output and includes several steps: quality filtering with NanoFilt, primer removal and length trimming with Cutadapt, artifact detection with Chimera, and building an Operational Taxonomic Unit
