Improved COI taxonomic assignment workflow enhances detection of invertebrates in environmental DNA

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an increasingly popular and powerful tool in ecology, offering a non‐invasive method to assess biodiversity and monitor ecosystem health across diverse environments. While the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is one of the most widely used markers for studying eukaryotic ...

Reduced expression of exocytotic proteins caused by anti-cholinesterase pesticides in Brachionus calyciflorus (Rotifera: Monogononta)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The organophosphate and carbamate pesticides methyl-parathion and carbaryl have a common action mechanism: they inhibit acetylcholinesterase enzyme by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses.

Larval Development of the New Zealand Deep Water Scampi, Metanephrops challengeri (Balss, 1914) (Decapoda: Nephropidae)

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
The New Zealand scampi, Metanephrops challengeri, is a lobster species which has an extensive distribution on much of the continental shelf and slopes around the country in depths between 140 and 640 m. This species is important ecologically, and forms the basis of a valuable commercial fishery.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Differentiation between activity of digestive enzymes of Brachionus calyciflorus and extracellular enzymes of its epizooic bacteria

Journal of Limnology, 2009
The rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface-attached, i.e. epizootic, bacteria to ascertain their specific localization and thus find out if we could discern between rotifer and bacterial enzyme ...

Diversity and Potential Endemism of New Zealand Freshwater Rotifers Revealed Using Mitochondrial DNA Barcodes

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
Rotifers perform key functions in aquatic food webs and respond to environmental changes, thus providing sensitive indicators of water quality. However, rotifers are small, highly diverse, and difficult to identify for those lacking expertise. Monogononta are the largest taxonomic class of rotifers with over 1500 species described globally, and around ...

Aquatic Biodiversity of the Pampa Biome: Insights From a Scientometric and Systematic Perspective

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pampa biome, in South America, covers parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Its main characteristic is the predominance of grassland areas. The Pampa biome supports high biological diversity and a wide variety of ecosystems. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of biodiversity studies focusing on freshwater ecosystems of ...

Highly and Lowly Domesticated Endangered Fish From a Conservation Hatchery Diverge in Their Thermal Physiology, Transcriptome, and Methylome

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation hatcheries aim to produce fish for supplementation of wild populations, but hatchery environments may drive phenotypic divergence from wild fish. These diverged traits may have reduced fitness in the wild, which could compromise wild population sustainability and evolutionary potential, such as in response to climate change. Delta

Orientation and Swimming Behavior of Saithe (Pollachius virens) Larvae Increases the Chance of Recruitment to Nursery Areas

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 199-211, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Saithe (Pollachius virens) is a semipelagic North Atlantic species supporting an important fishery. In the North Sea, saithe spawn east of the Shetland Islands, with larvae recruiting to coastal areas. Understanding the interaction between abiotic and biotic factors influencing larval dispersal is crucial for assessing their population ...
