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 ... -
Genetic diversity of soil invertebrates corroborates timing estimates for past collapses of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020)During austral summer field seasons between 1999 and 2018, we sampled at 91 locations throughout southern Victoria Land and along the Transantarctic Mountains for six species of endemic microarthropods (Collembola), covering ... -
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 ...
