International shipping as a potent vector for spreading marine parasites [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 1922-1933, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim The global shipping fleet, the primary means of transporting goods among countries, also serves as a major dispersal mechanism for marine invasive species. To date, researchers have primarily focussed on the role of ships in transferring marine macrofauna, often overlooking transfers of associated parasites, which can have larger impacts ...

DNA Barcoding of Metazoan Zooplankton Copepods from South Korea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Copepods, small aquatic crustaceans, are the most abundant metazoan zooplankton and outnumber every other group of multicellular animals on earth. In spite of ecological and biological importance in aquatic environment, their morphological plasticity ...

Temporally consistent species differences in parasite infection but no evidence for rapid parasite‐mediated speciation in Lake Victoria cichlid fish [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 556-575, May 2020., 2020 Species composition of Cichlidogyrus infection was similar among the closely related cichlid species of the Lake Victoria radiation (in orange), but differed between this lineage and two distantly related species (belonging to nonradiating sister lineages, in blue).

Evaluation of marine zooplankton community structure through environmental DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 209-221, April 2018., 2018 Abstract Zooplankton dominate the abundance and biomass of multicellular animals in pelagic marine environments; however, traditional methods to characterize zooplankton communities are invasive and laborious. This study compares zooplankton taxonomic composition revealed through metabarcoding of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) and 18S rRNA genes to ...

Distinctive mitochondrial genome of Calanoid copepod
BMC Genomics, 2011 Background Copepods are highly diverse and abundant, resulting in extensive ecological radiation in marine ecosystems. Calanus sinicus dominates continental shelf waters in the northwest Pacific Ocean and plays an important role in the local ecosystem by

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 21, Issue 11, Page 718-733, November 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Zooplankton analysis represents a bottleneck in marine ecology studies due to the difficulty to obtain zooplankton data. The last decades have seen the intense development of zooplankton imaging systems, to increase the zooplankton data spatio‐temporal resolution as well as enabling the combination of size, taxonomy, and functional traits in ...
