Structural Basis of GABAB Receptor Activation during Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
This study explores the structural and functional mechanisms of the drosophila GABAB receptor, a key role in neurotransmission. Using cryo‐EM, the research reveals how the receptor's activation differs from its human counterpart, highlighting unique evolutionary features.

Taxon‐specific BLAST percent identity thresholds for identification of unknown sequences using metabarcoding

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2380-2394, October 2025.
Abstract The identification of organisms in environmental samples using metabarcoding relies on factors such as taxonomic assignment methods, genetic markers, reference databases and confidence thresholds for taxonomic assignment. Because lineages evolve at different rates, a global threshold (e.g.

Advancing aquatic biodiversity assessments of invertebrates using eDNA metabarcoding: A systematic evaluation of primers for marine and freshwater communities

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2408-2430, October 2025.
Abstract Invertebrate richness and community composition are key indicators of aquatic ecosystem health. Compared with morphotaxonomy‐based survey methods, DNA metabarcoding is a highly efficient and scalable biomonitoring approach that has become increasingly used in invertebrate surveys.

New hairworm (Nematomorpha, Gordiida) species described from the Arizona Madrean Sky Islands

open access: yesZooKeys, 2018
Gordiids, or freshwater hairworms, are members of the phylum Nematomorpha that use terrestrial definitive hosts (arthropods) and live as adults in rivers, lakes, or streams.

Revealing hidden sources of uncertainty in biodiversity trend assessments

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
Idiosyncratic decisions during the biodiversity trend assessment process may limit reproducibility, whilst ‘hidden' uncertainty due to collection bias, taxonomic incompleteness, and variable taxonomic resolution may limit the reliability of reported trends.

Survey of the Macrobenthic Community in Ferguson Lake, Saline County, Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
One hundred thirty benthic samples were collected on 33 visits to Ferguson Lake, Saline County, Arkansas, between May 1997 and October 2000. Sediments were visually examined and described, and some were returned to the lab for sediment oxygen demand (SOD)
