Multiple SNP Markers Reveal Fine-Scale Population and Deep Phylogeographic Structure in European Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus L.)
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07-30)
Geographic surveys of allozymes, microsatellites, nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have detected several genetic subdivisions among European anchovy populations. However, these studies have been limited in ...
Molecular detection of plaice remains in the stomachs of potential predators on a flatfish nursery ground.
(Inter-Research, 2012-01-10)
Stomach contents of potential predators from a flatfish nursery ground on the Scot-
tish west coast were examined visually and probed using a TaqMan real-time PCR based assay
designed to detect plaice Pleuronectes platessa ...
Insights on the Origin of Invasive Copepods colonizing Basque Estuaries; a DNA Barcoding Approach
(Biomed Central, 2016-07-13)
Background: The introduction of NIS to estuaries and coastal embayment is of great concern. Commercial ships’
ballast water discharge and the northwards progression of species due to the ongoing climate change arise as ...
Single nucleotide polymorphism discovery in albacore and Atlantic bluefin tuna provides insights into worldwide population structure.
(Wiley, 2013-05-14)
The optimal management of the commercially important, but mostly over-exploited, pelagic tunas, albacore (Thunnus alalunga Bonn., 1788) and Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT; Thunnus thynnus L., 1758), requires a better understanding ...
A TaqMan real-time PCR based assay targeting plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) DNA to detect predation by the brown shrimp (Crangon crangon L.) and the shore crab (Carcinus maenas L.)—Assay development and validation
(Elsevier, 2010-07-14)
We describe a protocol for the preservation, extraction, and detection of plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) DNA from the stomach contents of the brown shrimp, Crangon crangon and the shore crab, Carcinus maenas. These two ...
18S rRNA V9 metabarcoding for diet characterization: a critical evaluation with two sympatric zooplanktivorous fish species
(Wiley Blackwell, 2016-03)
The potential of the 18S rRNA V9 metabarcoding approach for diet assessment was explored using MiSeq paired-end (PE; 2 9 150 bp) technology. To critically evaluate the method's performance with degraded/digested DNA, the ...
Unraveling the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of bacterial community changes in the Estuary of Bilbao and its tributaries
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-08)
In this study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to characterize the changes in taxonomic composition and environmental factors significantly influencing bacterial community structure across an annual cycle in the Estuary ...
Macrozooplankton predation impact on anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) eggs mortality at the Bay of Biscay shelf break spawning centre
(Oxford University Press, 2014-11-23)
A real-time PCR based method involving a species-specific probe was applied to detect Engraulis encrasicolus eggs predation by the macrozooplank-
ton community during the 2011 spawning season. Three locations along the ...
A real-time PCR assay to estimate invertebrate and fish predation on anchovy eggs in the Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2014-12-12)
In order to investigate the role of predation on eggs and larvae in the recruitment of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), sardine (Sardina pilchardus), sprat (Sprattus sprattus) and 52 macrozooplankton taxa were assayed for ...
