Phylogenomics reveals the deep ocean as an accelerator for evolutionary diversification in anglerfishes

This study uses phylogenomic and phenotypic data to show that deep-sea anglerfishes have greater diversity and faster diversification rates than shallow-water relatives, challenging expectations about habitat constraints.

Temperature sensitivity of the interspecific interaction strength of coastal marine fish communities

This study quantifies how water temperature affects fish-fish interaction strengths in coastal marine communities using eDNA metabarcoding and time-series analysis, showing species-specific temperature responses.

Development and evaluation of PCR primers for environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of Amphibia

The paper develops and evaluates PCR primers for eDNA metabarcoding of amphibians, finding that the Amph16S primer set detects twice as many species as physical surveys in agricultural ecosystems.

The critical role of natural history museums in advancing eDNA for biodiversity studies: a case study with Amazonian fishes

This study evaluates eDNA metabarcoding's effectiveness in Amazonian fish surveys and highlights the role of natural history museums in improving biodiversity assessments.

Regulation of the plastochron by three MANY-NODED DWARF genes in barley

This study identifies three barley genes regulating the plastochron and leaf growth, showing both conserved and species-specific mechanisms compared to rice.

Effects of species traits and ecosystem characteristics on species detection by eDNA metabarcoding in lake fish communities

This study evaluates how species traits and ecosystem characteristics affect eDNA detection rates in lake fish communities across Japan.

Environmental DNA metabarcoding for biodiversity monitoring of a highly-diverse tropical fish community in a coral-reef lagoon: Estimation of species richness and detection of habitat segregation

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to estimate species richness and detect habitat segregation in a tropical coral reef lagoon, finding higher species detection compared to capture-based surveys.

Evaluation of biodiversity in estuaries using environmental DNA metabarcoding

The paper evaluates biodiversity in estuaries using environmental DNA metabarcoding, finding higher diversity in less developed rivers and species composition reflecting ecological and environmental factors.

Quantitative monitoring of multispecies fish environmental DNA using high-throughput sequencing

This study quantifies fish eDNA copy numbers using internal standards and high-throughput sequencing, showing strong correlation with qPCR and enabling efficient biodiversity monitoring.

Demonstration of the potential of environmental DNA as a tool for the detection of avian species

The paper demonstrates that environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding using MiBird primers can detect avian species from water samples, showing potential as a complementary tool for bird monitoring.
