Sampling Design and Sample Processing Affect Soil Biodiversity Assessments

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity surveys require an appropriate sampling design for optimal performance and comparability across space and time and across studies. Based on PacBio and Illumina amplicon sequencing of animals, bacteria and fungi, we assessed and compared various soil sampling designs from widely used continental and global metabarcoding‐based ...

Assessment of High Throughput Sequencing Quality of Host DNA Enriched From Faeces: A Case From Captive Tiger

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Faeces serve as a widely used non‐invasive material in wildlife studies, from which host DNA can be enriched for high‐throughput sequencing. However, the characteristics of faecal DNA sequencing, particularly the relationship between sequencing volume and genotyping accuracy or genomic coverage, have remained unclear.

Impact of Fire and Heat Stress on Soil Microorganisms: A Review of Community Changes, Molecular Responses and Plant‐Beneficial Roles

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This work reviewed the direct and indirect effects of fires on microbial communities and the resilience strategies microbes use to withstand high temperatures . ABSTRACT Fire, whether occurring on the surface or underground, significantly influences soil microbial dynamics by reshaping community composition, functional diversity and overall soil and ...

Spatial Patterns and Overlap of Sedimentary and Rhizosphere Microbiomes of the Seagrass Zostera capensis

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Sedimentary microbiomes and, for the first time, rhizosphere microbiomes of Zostera capensis, South Africa's most abundant seagrass, were characterised using 16S rRNA metabarcoding across three estuaries. After accounting for seawater‐derived microbes, we found that sediment and rhizosphere communities largely overlapped but also harbor distinct core ...

Enhanced detection of equine strongyles: Insights from morphological and nemabiome metabarcoding approaches in northern Iran. [PDF]

Equine Vet J
Abstract Background Strongyles pose significant health concerns for equids globally. Strongyles, comprising over 60 species, can lead to severe morbidity and mortality, with Strongylus vulgaris posing higher risks due to its migratory behaviour. Routine diagnostic methods, such as faecal egg counts, lack species‐level resolution, while traditional ...

Dietary Specialisation Shapes Gut Bacterial Diversity in Dung Beetles: Insights From Coprophagy to Millipede Carnivory

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Dung beetles feed on various food sources that are rich in microbial life. Here, we describe how the diets of seven dung beetle species, specialising in coprophagy, necrophagy, detritophagy, fungivory and carnivory influence their gut bacterial structure and diversity.
