Metabarcoding of marine zooplankton in South Africa

Metabarcoding is an emerging method in which DNA barcoding is combined with next-generation sequencing to determine the biodiversity of taxonomically complex samples. We assessed the current state of DNA barcode reference databases for marine …

Genetic structure and life history are key factors in species distribution models of spiny lobsters

Aim - We incorporated genetic structure and life history phase in species distributionmodels (SDMs) constructed for a widespread spiny lobster, to reveal local adapta-tions specific to individual subspecies and predict future range shifts under the …
