New data on rotifers (Rotifera) from European waterbodies [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalRotifers (Rotifera) are microscopic pseudocoelomate animals that represent one of the key components of plankton, periphyton and benthos communities in aquatic ecosystems. As members of the zooplankton, they play an important role as primary consumers of

The Acute Toxicity of Salinity in Onshore Unconventional Gas Waters to Freshwater Invertebrates in Receiving Environments: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
Environ Toxicol Chem, 2022 Comparing the acute toxicity (48–96‐h) of sodium chloride (NaCl) and/or synthetic marine salt laboratory exposures of freshwater invertebrates to the salinity in unconventional gas produced waters from coal bed methane and shale gas extraction, and how other major ions (Ca2+, K+, Mg2+, CO32–, HCO3–, SO42–) can influence the toxicity of Na+ and Cl– ions

Fewer blue lakes and more murky lakes across the continental U.S.: Implications for planktonic food webs. [PDF]
Limnol Oceanogr, 2018 Abstract Elevated allochthonous inputs of organic matter are increasingly recognized as a driver of ecosystem change in lakes, particularly when concurrent with eutrophication. Evaluation of lakes in a nutrient‐color paradigm (i.e., based on total phosphorus and true color) enables a more robust approach to research and management.

Fine structure of the retrocerebral organ in the rotifer Trichocerca similis (Monogononta)
Invertebrate Biology, Volume 142, Issue 1, March 2023., 2023 Abstract The retrocerebral organ (RCO) is a complex glandular system that is widely distributed across species of phylum Rotifera (sensu stricto). This system is hypothesized to secrete mucus that aids in benthic locomotion, adhesion, and/or reproduction.

White spot syndrome virus host range and impact on transmission
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1843-1860, September 2022., 2022 Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the etiological agent of white spot disease (WSD), is a significant pathogen affecting shrimp farming industry worldwide. White spot syndrome virus is a generalist virus mainly infecting decapod crustaceans. The aims of this review were to: (1) Re‐evaluate and update the status of reported WSSV host and vector

Ecological Monographs, Volume 92, Issue 3, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Local biodiversity patterns are expected to strongly reflect variation in topography, land use, dispersal boundaries, nutrient supplies, contaminant spread, management practices, and other anthropogenic influences. Contrary to this expectation, studies focusing on specific taxa revealed a biodiversity homogenization effect in areas subjected ...

TransPi—a comprehensive TRanscriptome ANalysiS PIpeline for de novo transcriptome assembly
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 5, Page 2070-2086, July 2022., 2022 Abstract The use of RNA sequencing (RNA‐Seq) data and the generation of de novo transcriptome assemblies have been pivotal for studies in ecology and evolution. This is especially true for nonmodel organisms, where no genome information is available.

Vector control reduces the rate of species invasion in the world's largest freshwater ecosystem
Conservation Letters, Volume 15, Issue 2, March/April 2022., 2022 Abstract The Great Lakes‐St Lawrence River basin is the world's most invaded freshwater system. Ballast water release from transoceanic shipping is deemed responsible for 65% of invasions in the basin since the modern St. Lawrence Seaway opened in 1959.

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 861-876, July 2021., 2021 Macroinvertebrate communities are crucial for biodiversity monitoring and assessment of ecological status in stream ecosystems. Here, we use environmental DNA metabarcoding of filtered water samples collected in both spring and autumn from five streams in Denmark to address seasonal turnover in community composition of stream macroinvertebrates.
