Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding (parallel sequencing of DNA/RNA for
identification of whole communities within a targeted group) is revolutionizing the field of …

The bioassessment of aquatic ecosystems is currently based on various biotic indices that
use the occurrence and/or abundance of selected taxonomic groups to define ecological …

The purpose of this book is to provide timely and comprehensive information on extant
planktic foraminifers. This book is based on 'Modern Planktonic Foraminifera'published by …

A decade after environmental scientists integrated high‐throughput sequencing
technologies in their toolbox, the genomics‐based monitoring of anthropogenic impacts on …

Monitoring biodiversity is essential to assess the impacts of increasing anthropogenic
activities in marine environments. Traditionally, marine biomonitoring involves the sorting …

Marine sediments are home to one of the richest species pools on Earth, but logistics and a
dearth of taxonomic work-force hinders the knowledge of their biodiversity. We characterized …

Diatoms are widely used as bioindicators for the assessment of water quality in rivers and
streams. Classically, the diatom biotic indices are based on the relative abundance of …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous, difficult to degrade, and potentially threatening to
organisms in marine environment, so it is important to clarify the factors that affect their …

High-throughput amplicon sequencing of environmental DNA and/or RNA proved to be a
powerful tool to describe protist diversity. This new approach called also the metabarcoding …

Many ocean policies mandate integrated, ecosystem-based approaches to marine
monitoring, driving a global need for efficient, low-cost bioindicators of marine ecological …
