Environmental DNA metabarcoding for benthic monitoring: A review of sediment sa...
Pawlowski, J.; Bruce, K.; Panksep, K.; Aguirre, F. I.; Amalfitano, S.; Apothéloz-Perret-Gentil, L.; Baussant, T.; Bouchez, A.; Carugati, L.Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding (parallel sequencing of DNA/RNA for identification of whole communities within a targeted group) is revolutionizing the field of aquatic biomonitoring. To date, most metabarcoding studies aiming to assess the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems have focused on water eDNA and macroinvertebrate bulk samples. However, the eDNA metabarcoding has also been applied to soft s...
Xenophyophores (Rhizaria, Foraminifera) from the Nazaré Canyon (Portuguese marg...
Gooday, A.J.; Aranda da Silva, A.; Pawlowski, J.Xenophyophores are abundant on a terrace of the lower Nazaré Canyon (4300 m water depth) on the Portuguese margin. Here, the most abundant species, Reticulammina cerebreformis sp. nov., occurs in densities of up to 21 individuals/m2. This large species has a soft, friable hemispherical test up to 10 cm in diameter consisting of curved, sinuous plates (lamellae) that branch and anastomose. The plates are separat...
