Ancient landscapes of the Namib Desert harbor high levels of genetic variability and deeply divergent lineages for Collembola.
(2019)Aim: To assess spatial patterns of genetic and species-level diversity for Namib Desert Collembola using mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequences. Location: Namib Desert gravel plains. Taxon: ... -
Genetic diversity among populations of Antarctic springtails (Collembola) within the Mackay Glacier ecotone
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2016)Climate changes are likely to have major influences on the distribution and abundance of Antarctic terrestrial biota. To assess arthropod distribution and diversity within the Ross Sea region, we examined mitochondrial DNA ... -
Genetic diversity and potential responses of New Zealand Rotifera and Antarctic Collembola to environmental changes
(University of Waikato, 2015)Environmental changes can impact the diversity and abundance of biotic communities as well as their dispersal among geographic regions. The availability of sensitive molecular techniques has enabled assessments of diversity ... -
A molecular-based assessment tool for characterising New Zealand freshwater zooplankton communities
(Environmental Research Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, The University of Waikato, 2014)The ability to adequately assess ecosystem health is essential for informed resource management. Freshwater zooplankton respond rapidly to environmental changes in pest fish populations and nutrient loads and can therefore ... -
Spatial and temporal scales matter when assessing the species and genetic diversity of springtails (Collembola) in Antarctica
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Seven species of springtail (Collembola) are present in Victoria Land, Antarctica and all have now been sequenced at the DNA barcoding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI). Here, we review ...
