Biogeography and Genetic Diversity of Terrestrial Mites in the Ross Sea Region, Antarctica
(MDPI AG, 2023)Free-living terrestrial mites (Acari) have persisted through numerous glacial cycles in Antarctica. Very little is known, however, of their genetic diversity and distribution, particularly within the Ross Sea region. To ... -
Biological identification of springtails (Hexapoda: Collembola) from the Canadian Arctic, using mitochondrial DNA barcodes
(NRC Research Press, 2004-05)We evaluated sequence diversity in the mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase I (COI; EC 1.9.3.1) gene as a tool for resolving differences among species of Arctic springtails. The Collembola examined in this analysis were ... -
Biotic interactions are an unexpected yet critical control on the complexity of an abiotically driven polar ecosystem.
(2019)Abiotic and biotic factors control ecosystem biodiversity, but their relative contributions remain unclear. The ultraoligotrophic ecosystem of the Antarctic Dry Valleys, a simple yet highly heterogeneous ecosystem, is a ... -
Comparison of the efficiency of three methods of isolating fish DNA from environmental samples
(Environmental Research Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Waikato, 2014)The Lake Ecosystem Restoration New Zealand (LERNZ) project was initiated to restore indigenous biodiversity in lakes in part by developing new pest fish management and control technologies. One objective of the management ... -
Contrasting phylogeographical patterns for springtails reflect different evolutionary histories between the Antarctic Peninsula and continental Antarctica
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009)Aim: We examined the genetic structure among populations and regions for the springtails Cryptopygus antarcticus antarcticus and Gomphiocephalus hodgsoni (Collembola) to identify potential historical refugia and subsequent ...
