Spatial and Seasonal Biodiversity Variation in a Large Mediterranean Lagoon Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Through Sponge Tissue Collection

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
Ecosystem monitoring is essential for preventing biodiversity loss, and in the Mar Menor lagoon (SE Spain), where intensive agriculture has led to eutrophication and mass mortality of marine fauna, it is critical for assessing the status of flora and fauna and informing conservation actions.

Trophic Plasticity of the Invasive Redbelly Tilapia (Coptodon zillii) in China Inferred From DNA Metabarcoding Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The feeding patterns of invasive populations of C. zillii in different habitats and seasons within a large‐scale geographic area (spanning 9.86° latitude and 10.47° longitude) in China were directly compared. ABSTRACT The redbelly tilapia (Coptodon zillii) is one of the most dangerous invasive alien fishes in the world.
