Dietary diversity of multiple shorebird species in an Asian subtropical wetland unveiled by DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1381-1396, November 2022., 2022
Despite previous studies that analyzed the foraging niches of shorebirds worldwide, the dietary niche dynamics of shorebirds coexisting in Asia are very poorly known. This study is therefore the early few that aim to unveil the trophic organization of shorebirds in a subtropical wetland within the EAAF.

Niche filtering, competition and species turnover in a metacommunity of freshwater molluscs

Oikos, Volume 2022, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Metacommunity structure reflects the interplay of various processes, including niche filtering, extinction/colonization and interspecific interactions. Spatial patterns of species distributions are often analyzed to infer these processes. However, such inferences rely on often unrealistic equilibrium assumptions, and remain ambiguous, as different ...

DNA metabarcoding unravels unknown diversity and distribution patterns of tropical freshwater invertebrates

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1411-1427, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Tropical freshwater invertebrate species are becoming extinct without being described, and effective conservation is hampered by a lack of taxonomic and distribution data. DNA metabarcoding is a promising tool for rapid biodiversity assessments that has never been applied to tropical freshwater invertebrates across large spatial and taxonomic ...

Vectors and Spatial Patterns of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Selected Rice-Farming Villages of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res, 2016
In the Philippines, rats and snails abound in agricultural areas as pests and source of food for some of the local people which poses risks of parasite transmission to humans such as Angiostrongylus cantonensis. This study was conducted to determine the extent of A.
