Large‐scale validation of 46 invasive species assays using an enhanced in silico framework
Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 2, March–April 2024.It can be challenging to ensure that eDNA assays are specific to their intended targets, particularly when biodiversity is high and the geographic area is large. Here, we use an accurate machine‐learning‐based PCR model to streamline validation of 46 qPCR assays targeting invasive species throughout the continental United States. We present an overview

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2024.Abstract As coral reefs continue to decline due to climate change, the role of coral epigenetics (specifically, gene body methylation, GBM) in coral acclimatization warrants investigation. The evidence is currently conflicting. In diverse animal phyla, the baseline GBM level is associated with gene function: continuously expressed “housekeeping” genes ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2024.We found asexual Panagrolaimid nematodes defy expectations of asexuality, they display a higher nucleotide diversity than that of sexual counterparts. This, accompanied by a lower mutation rate could explain the persistence of this asexual lineage.

Clonal genome evolution of the marbled crayfish, Procambarus virginalis [PDF]
, 2018 Marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis) are the only freshwater crayfish known to reproduce by cloning (apomictic parthenogenesis). Notably, among genetically identical offspring raised in the same environment, distinct phenotypic differences can be ...

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the effect of diets supplemented with activated yeast, crude chitin, and chitosan on the growth, immune, and antioxidant response of freshwater prawn Cryphiops (Cryphiops) caementarius. Adult male prawns were kept in individual culture vessels installed in aquarium tanks.
