Towards population genomics in non-model species with large genomes: a case study of the marine zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus.
(2019)
Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and the
development of genome-reduced representation protocols have
opened the way to genome-wide population studies in non-model
species. However, species with large ...
Satellite-based indicator of zooplankton distribution for global monitoring.
(2019)
This study investigates the association between an index of mesozooplankton biomass, derived from
the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey and satellite-derived productivity fronts in the North Atlantic.
While chlorophyll-a ...
Marine Sediment Sample Pre-processing for Macroinvertebrates Metabarcoding: Mechanical Enrichment and Homogenization.
(2016)
Metabarcoding is an accurate and cost-effective technique that allows for simultaneous
taxonomic identification of multiple environmental samples. Application of this technique
to marine benthic macroinvertebrate ...
Evolving Marine Biosecurity in the Galapagos Islands.
(2015)
Some of my co-authors and I have just returned
from one of the paradises on earth and a natural
history mecca – The Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
We participated in (MLC, CLH) or hosted (IK,
TD, KC) the 1st Tropical ...
Challenges and perspectives of metaproteomic data analysis.
(2017)
In nature microorganisms live in complex microbial communities. Comprehensive taxonomic and functional
knowledge about microbial communities supports medical and technical application such as fecal diagnostics as
well ...
Genomics in marine monitoring: New opportunities for assessing marine health status.
(2013)
This viewpoint paper explores the potential of genomics technology to provide accurate, rapid, and cost efficient observations of the marine environment. The use of such approaches in next generation marine monitoring ...
Mapping with confidence; delineating seagrass habitats using Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS).
(2019)
There is growing interest in the use of Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) for mapping and monitoring of seagrass habitats. UAS provide flexibility with timing of imagery capture, are relatively inexpensive, and obtain very ...
An End-to-End DNA Taxonomy Methodology for Benthic Biodiversity Survey in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, Central Pacific Abyss.
(2016)
Recent years have seen increased survey and sampling expeditions to the
Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), central Pacific Ocean abyss, driven by commercial interests
from contractors in the potential extraction of polymetallic ...
Standard Operating Procedure for Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Testing (SPATT) Assemblage and Extraction of HAB Toxins.
(University of California and University of Southern California, Santa Cruz, CA, 2018)
SPATT has been developed and tested for a variety of resins (see review by Kudela, 2017). These Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) outline the use of the resin DIAON HP20 since it has been demonstrated to quantify ...
Best Practices for Implementing Acoustic Technologies to Improve Reef Fish Ecosystem Surveys: Report from the 2017 GCFI Acoustics Workshop.
(NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Silver Spring, MD, 2019)
Approximately 330 participants from 30 countries attended the 70th Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute (GCFI) conference held in Merida, Mexico during 4-10 November 2017. The conference featured ...
