DNA metabarcoding for diet analysis and biodiversity: A case study using the endangered Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 14, Page 5435-5453, July 2017., 2017
The Australian sea lion is an endangered apex predator which is endemic to Western Australia. We collected and extracted the DNA from 36 scats taken from five known sea lion haul out locations around the southeast coast of Western Australia. Several assays were used to target barcode sequences to both identify the diet of the sea lions and gain insight

Diet composition of fish species from the southern continental shelf of Colombia [PDF]

, 2002
The diet composition of 30 fish species belonging to 16 families from the Pacific Coast of Colombia is described. Benthic crustaceans (37.5%) and bony fishes (23.7%, chiefly demersal) were the most important food items for the fish species analyzed. Data

A Comparison of DNA Metabarcoding Cloacal Swabs and Stomach Contents for Shark Diet Reconstruction

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Our results indicate that the less invasive, non‐lethal method of DNA metabarcoding cloacal swabs provided higher taxonomic resolution than more common methods for studying shark trophic ecology (i.e., morphological stomach contents identification and trophic biomarkers) with no statistical difference in overall diet description between cloacal swabs ...

Tetrodotoxin Poisoning Due to Pufferfish and Gastropods, and Their Intoxication Mechanism

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Marine pufferfish generally contain a large amount of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in their skin and viscera, and have caused many incidences of food poisoning, especially in Japan. Edible species and body tissues of pufferfish, as well as their allowable fishing areas, are therefore clearly stipulated in Japan, but still 2 to 3 people die every year due to ...

Aspectos reproductivos de la Jaiba Mora, Homalaspis plana (MILNE-EDWARDS, 1834) (CRUSTACEA: BRACHYURA: XANTHIDAE) en el seno de Reloncaví, Chile.

Biologia Pesquera
Entre marzo de 1989 y diciembre de 1991 se recolectaron 419 ejemplares juveniles y adultos de la jaiba mora Homalaspis plana. La proporción sexual de 2,8 hembras por macho sugiere un sistema de apareamiento poligínico.

Hexapanopeus manningi, a new xanthid crab (Crustacea, Decapoda, Xanthidae) from Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Zoologia, 2000
A new species of xanthid crab, Hexapanopeus manningi, closely related to H. caribbaeus Stimpson, 1871 collected from mangrove areas in the estuaries of Rio Grande do Norte. Brazil is described. This is the sixth species of Hexapanopeus Rathbun, 1898 from Brazil. Distinguishing features of the species are also mentioned to facilitate its separation from

Insights Into the Comprehensive Carbon Cycle in a Mangrove Ecosystem: A Case Study for Understanding Carbon Burial, Outgassing, and Outwelling in a Subtropical Island

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract A significant quantity of soil organic carbon (SOC) is buried in mangrove ecosystems. However, recent research has revealed that substantial amounts of carbon are exported to the atmosphere as CO2 or to the ocean as dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and particulate organic carbon (POC).

Toxicity Assessment of the Xanthid Crab Demania cultripes from Cebu Island, Philippines

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Several cases of poisoning resulting in human fatalities and stemming from the ingestion of coral reef crabs have been reported from the Indo‐Pacific region. We assessed the toxicity of the unidentified xanthid crab collected from the Camotes Sea off the eastern coast of Cebu Island, central Visayas region of Philippines from the food hygienic point of
