Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.Environmental DNA sampling coupled with high‐throughput sequencing is increasingly recognized as a useful method for assessing biodiversity with potential applications in terrestrial environments. Rock pools on granite inselbergs support diverse aquatic communities, yet the application of eDNA to document their biodiversity is lacking.

Updated classification of the phylum Parabasalia
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 4, July/August 2024.Abstract The phylum Parabasalia includes very diverse single‐cell organisms that nevertheless share a distinctive set of morphological traits. Most are harmless or beneficial gut symbionts of animals, but some have turned into parasites in other body compartments, the most notorious example being Trichomonas vaginalis in humans.

Genes for selenium dependent and independent formate dehydrogenase in the gut microbial communities of three lower, wood-feeding termites and a wood-feeding roach [PDF]
, 2011 The bacterial Wood-Ljungdahl pathway for CO_2-reductive acetogenesis is important for the nutritional mutualism occurring between wood-feeding insects and their hindgut microbiota. A key step in this pathway is the reduction of CO_2 to formate,

The complete mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes leptomandibularis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2019 The complete mitochondrial genome of a lower termite, Reticulitermes leptomandibularis is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,920 bp in length. The genome contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a non-coding region (D-loop).The overall sequence of R. leptomandibularis is A/T biased with
