Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 650-667, March 2026.
Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

Evidence for the Stability Selection Mechanism in a Live Predator–Prey System

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
We demonstrate that the stability properties of a predator–prey pair vary with prey genetics and that the loss of unstable predator–prey pairs in subpopulations from the overall population can lead to trait evolution in the aggregate population. Our results indicate that community‐level processes such as predator–prey interactions can generate eco ...

Evolutionary divergence and functional insights into the heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferase of Paramecium tetraurelia

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1681-1707, March 2026.
Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

Spatial Autocorrelation of Species Diversity and Distributions in Time and Across Spatial Scales

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Spatial autocorrelation (SAC), also known as aggregation or clumping, reflects species niche and dispersal, has conservation significance, and affects ecological models. Yet, we know little about the spatial and temporal patterns of SAC in empirical data.

Distinct, Depth‐Stratified Communities of Heterotrophic, Mixotrophic, and Parasitic Dinoflagellates and Ciliates in the Subarctic Northeast Pacific Euphotic Zone

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Dinoflagellates and ciliates are important grazers of primary production in the Northeast Pacific but knowledge of their taxonomic composition and depth‐distribution is limited. These organisms also display a variety of heterotrophic feeding modes including heterotrophy, mixotrophy, and parasitism.
