Development of a multigenic metabarcoding protocol for deciphering the diversity of plant-associated Archaea. [144] [PDF]

, 2018
Soil and plant microbiota are playing an eminent role in shaping both natural ecosystems and agricultural production systems. It is now widely admitted that bacterial communities show a great diversity in both the plant rhizosphere and the plant ...

Domination Versus Sisterhoods in the Blood Microbiota of Migrating Birds: Patterns of Within‐ and Between‐Individual Blood Parasite Diversity Revealed Through Metabarcoding

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

Sun exposure drives Antarctic cryptoendolithic community structure and composition [PDF]

, 2019
The harsh environmental conditions of the ice-free regions of Continental Antarctica are considered one of the closest Martian analogues on Earth. There, rocks play a pivotal role as substratum for life and endolithism represents a primary habitat for ...

Higher fungal diversity is correlated with lower CO2 emissions from dead wood in a natural forest [PDF]

, 2016
Wood decomposition releases almost as much CO2 to the atmosphere as does fossil-fuel combustion, so the factors regulating wood decomposition can affect global carbon cycling.

ORDNA: Deep‐learning‐based ordination for raw environmental DNA samples

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has revolutionized biodiversity monitoring, offering non‐invasive tools to assess ecosystem health. The complexity of eDNA metabarcoding data poses major challenges for conventional ordination methods in understanding assemblage similarities and assessing biodiversity patterns.

Cyanobacterial endobionts within a major marine, planktonic, calcifier (Globigerina bulloides, Foraminifera) revealed by 16S rRNA metabarcoding [PDF]

, 2017
We investigated the possibility of bacterial symbiosis in Globigerina bulloides, a palaeoceanographically important, planktonic foraminifer. This marine protist is commonly used in micropalaeontological investigations of climatically sensitive subpolar ...

A review of autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) for monitoring hard‐bottom benthic biodiversity

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (

How quantitative is metabarcoding: a meta-analytical approach [PDF]

, 2019
Metabarcoding has been used in a range of ecological applications such as taxonomic assignment, dietary analysis, and the analysis of environmental DNA. However, after a decade of use in these applications there is little consensus on the extent to which

Can hierarchical modelling of co‐occurrence data provide accurate inference into species interactions?

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, several compelling critiques have emerged of approaches that leverage co‐occurrence data to understand the dynamic complexities posed by species interactions. Here, motivated by the key arguments formalized over a century of debate, we use simulations grounded in ecological theory to provide guidance on when co‐occurrence data

Evaluating the potential of DNA metabarcoding for ecological status assessment under the Water Framework Directive: A case study on benthic invertebrates from Western Carpathian streams [PDF]

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics
Routine biomonitoring under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) follows a conventional methodology primarily based on the morphological identification of taxa within the five biological quality elements (phytoplankton, phytobenthos, macrozoobenthos ...
