Citizen Sailors Provide a Detailed Map of Open-Ocean Surface Biodiversity and Help Link eDNA Data to Satellite Observations. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Characterizing open ocean biodiversity at basin scales remains challenging due to sparse sampling and limited opportunities to validate satellite‐derived estimates of plankton community composition. Through the Citizens of the Sea initiative, we deployed standardized environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling kits on 27 sailing vessels during the 2024 ...

‘It's not much, but it's honest work’: The status of environmental DNA analyses of fish biodiversity in southern Africa

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) biodiversity surveys have the power to transform the detection of species in natural environments, which is crucial for the conservation and management of freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Globally, eDNA‐based analyses have increased significantly, with fishes being the most widely studied aquatic ...

Nodular Lesions in the Pyloric Caeca of Sardinella aurita (Teleostei) Associated With the Cestode Anthobothrium sp. 1 Larvae (Platyhelminthes: Eucestoda) Off Tunisia, Mediterranean Sea

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Examination of round sardinella Sardinella aurita Valenciennes, 1847 (Clupeidae) from the Gulf of Tunis (Tunisia) revealed the first local and Mediterranean record of Anthobothrium sp. 1 sensu Jensen & Bullard, 2010 (Tetraphyllidea incertae sedis, Anthobothrium).

Unveiling Vertebrate Biodiversity in Arid and Semi‐Arid Terrestrial Ecosystems Through eDNA Metabarcoding at Savanna Waterholes

Evolutionary Applications
Applying environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to samples from waterholes and their surroundings offers a promising approach for monitoring terrestrial vertebrates in semi‐arid and arid ecosystems, such as the southern African savannas. However, minimal

Dive surveys and eDNA detect contrasting macroalgal community composition in Nova Scotia, Canada

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Morphological identification of macroalgae can be time‐consuming and species may be difficult to observe, collect, or identify, preventing detailed study on the distribution and ecology of many species. The use of eDNA in species surveillance and biodiversity assessments has gained considerable traction in studying macroalgae, as it provides ...

Genomic analyses of giant kelp reveal restricted connectivity across the Southern Hemisphere and striking diversity in Aotearoa (New Zealand)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The macroalga Macrocystis pyrifera (“giant” or “bladder” kelp) plays a vital role in cold‐temperate marine ecosystems but faces increasing threats from ongoing environmental change. Understanding its population diversity and connectivity is essential for predicting future range shifts and assessing the ecological consequences of such shifts in

Bridging the gap between genomic, phenotypic, and modeling data in picophytoplankton–virus interactions

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a comprehensive synthesis of recent developments in methodological approaches to combine experimental and genomic studies of picophytoplankton–virus interactions. This synthesis will not only enhance our understanding of these relationships but also stimulate new hypotheses for the interpretation of metagenomic data and enrich ...

Lithochloron, a new genus of green algae residing in coral skeleton (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral skeletons host diverse microbial communities, including endolithic green algae that contribute to holobiont functioning. The siphonous green alga Ostreobium (Bryopsidales) is arguably the best‐known coral endolith, but recent environmental sequencing has indicated that other lineages of green algae may also inhabit the coral skeleton ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Design and optimisation of rapid real‐time PCR assays for the detection of key Culicoides species

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Species‐specific real‐time PCR assays were designed and optimised using primer/probe sets targeting C. obsoletus, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. punctatus and C. impunctatus. Primer specificity and amplification efficiency were validated through in silico specificity analysis and real‐time PCR amplification profiling.
