Terrestrial land cover shapes fish diversity in major subtropical rivers

H. Zhang, R. C. Blackman, R. Furrer, M. Osathanunkul, J. Brantschen, C. Di Muri, L. R. Harper, B. Haenfling, P. A. Niklaus, L. Pellissier, M. E. Schaepman, S. Zong, F. Altermatt

The paper links terrestrial land cover changes to fish diversity in a subtropical river catchment, showing LULC effects up to 20 km upstream and explaining 60% of species richness variance.

Meta-analysis shows both congruence and complementarity of DNA metabarcoding to traditional methods for biological community assessment

F. Keck, R. C. Blackman, R. Bossart, J. Brantschen, M. Couton, S. Hürlemann, D. Kirschner, N. Locher, H. Zhang, F. Altermatt

This study meta-analyzes DNA metabarcoding and traditional methods for aquatic community assessment, finding congruence for fish but complementarity for microorganisms and macroinvertebrates.

Assessing the impact of the threatened crucian carp (Carassius carassius) on pond invertebrate diversity - a comparison of conventional and molecular tools

L. R. Harper, L. Lawson Handley, C. D. Sayer, D. S. Read, M. Benucci, R. C. Blackman, M. J. Hill, B. Hänfling

The paper compares conventional and molecular methods for assessing invertebrate diversity in ponds with and without crucian carp, finding that molecular tools provide more accurate and comprehensive data.
