Cross-comparing different protocols for DNA metabarcoding of freshwater macroinvertebratesNARA Subscribed
Macroinvertebrates are widely used in freshwater biomonitoring, but current methods are labor-intensive and require taxonomic expertise. DNA metabarcoding offers a potential solution, though results vary per applied sampling protocol. Here, we compare several protocols using macroinvertebrate samples from a Dutch peatland. Live-sorted specimens were (i) identified morphologically followed by (ii) non-destructive (soft-lysis) a...
Dramatically suppressed climate signals in the Yellow RiverNARA Subscribed
Three major mesoplanktonic communities resolved by in situ imaging in the upper 500 m of the global oceanNARA Subscribed
Aim The distribution of mesoplankton communities has been poorly studied at global scale, especially from in situ instruments. This study aims to (1) describe the global distribution of mesoplankton communities in relation to their environment and (2) assess the ability of various environmental‐based ocean regionalizations to explain the distribution of these communities. Location Global ocean, 0–500 m depth. Time Period 2008–...
Global Distribution of Zooplankton Biomass Estimated by In Situ Imaging and Machine LearningOA Marine
Zooplankton plays a major role in ocean food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and provides major ecosystem services as a main driver of the biological carbon pump and in sustaining fish communities. Zooplankton is also sensitive to its environment and reacts to its changes. To better understand the importance of zooplankton, and to inform prognostic models that try to represent them, spatially-resolved biomass estimates of key...
Historical museum samples enable the examination of divergent and parallel evolution during invasionNARA Subscribed
During the Anthropocene, Earth has experienced unprecedented habitat loss, native species decline and global climate change. Concurrently, greater globalization is facilitating species movement, increasing the likelihood of alien species establishment and propagation. There is a great need to understand what influences a species’ ability to persist or perish within a new or changing environment. Examining genes that may be ass...
Raised atmospheric CO 2 levels and increased N deposition cause shifts in plant species composition and production in Sphagnum bogsNARA Subscribed
Part of the missing sink in the global CO 2 budget has been attributed to the positive effects of CO 2 fertilization and N deposition on carbon sequestration in Northern Hemisphere terrestrial ecosystems. The genus Sphagnum is one of the most important groups of plant species sequestrating carbon in temperate and northern bog ecosystems, because of the low decomposability of the dead material it produces. The effects of raised...
