Environmental DNA for invasive rat surveillance and biosecurity on islands

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We collected aquatic eDNA samples from beach and lake sites on three atoll islands with different invasion statuses before and after a rat eradication operation. Two dozen eDNA samples can confirm with ≥95% probability the presence of invasive rats prior to any management intervention. However, following the eradication operation, neither targeted eDNA

Cyanobacteria in Waterbodies of the Biggest Anthropogenic Agglomeration: Combined DNA Metabarcoding, Microscopy, and Culture Analysis

Phycology
This study describes the results of integrative analysis of cyanobacterial communities in waterbodies of Moscow, Russia. 16S rRNA V3–V4 metabarcoding and light microscopy are implemented to investigate the diversity, abundance, and distribution of ...

Limitations to fungal diversity in forest soil during secondary succession

Ecography, EarlyView.
The Bass Becking and Beijerinck theory of the microbial world that ‘everything is everywhere but the environment selects' has provided a basis to test microbial ecological theory for almost a century (Baas Becking 1934). Applying theory to the apparent chaos of the microbial world is arduous, and applying rules that guide our understanding is difficult.

Floral resource strips enhance parasitoid abundance and diversity in apple orchards and promote agroecological advances in a South African biosphere reserve

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Floral resource strips within apple orchards increased parasitoid abundance and influenced community composition, enhancing local biodiversity in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve's transition zone. Ruderal and natural fynbos habitats supported higher parasitoid richness and abundance, emphasising the importance of conserving semi‐natural habitats ...

Metabarcoding analysis of oral microbiome during pregnancy

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Pregnancy is a dynamic physiological process involving significant hormonal, immune, and metabolic changes to support fetal growth and development. This study investigates the changes in salivary microbiome and biochemical markers from the second to the third trimester of pregnancy.

Expansion of invasive carabids across elevation and habitats on sub‐Antarctic South Georgia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Two introduced carabid species have continued to expand their ranges on the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia over the past 10–15 years. The species have colonised inland valleys and are present across habitats but are more abundant in those with high vegetation cover. N‐mixture models revealed the optimal sampling method, intensity and habitat for

Enhancing fish community monitoring at a cabled observatory by combining environmental DNA and imaging analysis

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cabled multiparametric observatories are sustaining ecological monitoring by collecting long‐term real‐time biological and environmental data. Here, we investigated fish communities by sampling environmental DNA (eDNA) over 4 days near the multiparametric cabled video‐observatory OBSEA (Northwestern Mediterranean Sea).

Phytoplankton Metabarcoding Data Processing

Phytoplankton taxonomy was undertaken using DNA metabarcoding (along with traditional taxonomic approaches via microscopy). The filter samples were extracted for DNA using E.Z.N.A. water DNA kits using the default protocol (Omega Bio-Tek, USA). After extraction, the samples were PCR amplified using the 18s rRNA V9 region with unique dual-tags using the

Genes, fish and fisheries: translating science into policy

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2024 Annual Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles reviewed the burgeoning impact of ‘omics’ technologies on fish ecology, management and forecasting. As with life sciences more generally, major advances in speed, cost‐effectiveness and breadth of applications in ‘omics’ has had profound societal and environmental impacts.
