Towards a global barcode reference library for subterranean fauna

Michelle T. Guzik, Jake Thornhill, Mieke van der Heyde, Danielle N. Stringer, Nicole E. White, Mattia Saccò, Perry G. Beasley‐Hall, Paul Nevill, Rachael A. King, Steven J. Cooper, Andrew D. Austin

The paper presents a barcode reference library (BRL) for subterranean fauna, demonstrating its effectiveness in eDNA metabarcoding by identifying species not found in GenBank.

Environmental DNA reveals temporal and spatial variability of invertebrate communities in arid-lands ephemeral water bodies

Brock A. Hedges, Perry G. Beasley‐Hall, James B. Dorey, Philip Weinstein, Andrew D. Austin, Michelle T. Guzik

The paper uses environmental DNA to study invertebrate communities in arid-land rock-holes, finding seasonal and spatial variability in species richness and composition.

Molecular phylogenetics illuminates the evolutionary history and hidden diversity of Australian cave crickets (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae)

Perry G. Beasley‐Hall, Steven A. Trewick, Stefan M. Eberhard, Andreas Zwick, Elizabeth H. Reed, Steven J. Cooper, Andrew D. Austin

This study uses phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear markers to reveal the evolutionary history and hidden diversity of Australian cave crickets, finding the fauna to be polyphyletic and identifying potential undescribed species.

Environmental DNA and wildlife camera traps uncover complimentary vertebrate visitation patterns at freshwater granite rock-holes

Brock A. Hedges, Perry G. Beasley‐Hall, Tina E. Berry, Kathryn L. Dawkins, Andrew D. Austin, Philip Weinstein, Michelle T. Guzik

The paper compares eDNA metabarcoding and camera trapping to monitor vertebrate visitation in arid-lands freshwater ecosystems, finding complementary results between the methods.
