On-site metabarcoding analysis of environmental DNA samples

This paper presents a portable eDNA metabarcoding pipeline for rapid ecological assessment, demonstrating its feasibility in remote settings with on-site analysis.

Müllerian mimicry in Neotropical butterflies: One mimicry ring to bring them all, and in the jungle bind them

This study examines spatial patterns of Mullerian mimicry in Neotropical butterflies, revealing convergent climatic niches and vulnerability to climate change.

Geographical variation in mitogenomes of the largetooth sawfish Pristis pristis: challenges and perspectives for conservation efforts

This study examines geographical variation in the mitogenomes of largetooth sawfish and develops a new species-specific probe set to improve detection for conservation.

Investigating the dynamics of the aquatic community in Oslofjord through time series analysis of eDNA

The paper uses eDNA metabarcoding to analyze seasonal and interannual changes in Oslofjord fish communities over two years, finding significant taxonomic shifts and primer-specific richness patterns.

eDNA replicates, polymerase and amplicon size impact inference of richness across habitats

This study investigates how replicates, PCR polymerases, and amplicon size affect species richness estimates in eDNA metabarcoding across different habitats.

Hidden Diversity of Threatened Sharks and Rays in the Global Meat Trade

The paper reveals hidden diversity in shark and ray meat trade, showing underreported species and trade patterns across multiple countries.

From Nets to Molecules: A Comparative Study of Stream Fish Diversity Recovery Using Different Sampling Methods in Eastern Amazonia

This study compares fish diversity recovery using netting, eDNA, and dietary metabarcoding in three Neotropical streams to improve biodiversity assessment.

Molecular identification of whole squids and calamari at fairs and markets in regions of Latin America

The paper uses genetic sequencing of the rrnL gene to identify cephalopod species sold in Latin American markets and detect labeling errors.
