Screening mammal biodiversity using DNA from leeches
Liliana M. Costa, Jing Yuan, Jacques Rouster, Wyatt Paul, Hugh Dickinson, and Jose F. Gutierrez-Marcos* (Current Biology 22, 160–165; January 24, 2012) Due to an author oversight, Table S2 in the online Supplemental Information for this article was incorrectly titled ‘‘Dosage Effects of Imprinted pBet9>synMeg1.’’ The correct title for Table S2 should be ‘‘Dosage Effects of Nonimprinted pBet9>sy...
متن کاملPreliminary Assessment of Neotropical Mammal DNA Barcodes: An Underestimation of Biodiversity
There are almost 1,700 species of mammals occurring in the Neotropical region broadly defined as including Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and South America. The Barcode of Life Data (BOLD) Systems established an institutional collaboration with the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) beginning in 2005 to DNA barcode the mammal tissue collections for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI...
متن کاملThe use of DNA barcoding to monitor the marine mammal biodiversity along the French Atlantic coast
In the last ten years, 14 species of cetaceans and five species of pinnipeds stranded along the Atlantic coast of Brittany in the North West of France. All species included, an average of 150 animals strand each year in this area. Based on reports from the stranding network operating along this coast, the most common stranding events comprise six cetacean species (Delphinus delphis, Tursiops tr...
متن کاملMonitoring endangered freshwater biodiversity using environmental DNA.
Freshwater ecosystems are among the most endangered habitats on Earth, with thousands of animal species known to be threatened or already extinct. Reliable monitoring of threatened organisms is crucial for data-driven conservation actions but remains a challenge owing to nonstandardized methods that depend on practical and taxonomic expertise, which is rapidly declining. Here, we show that a di...
متن کاملLeeches
Real worms don't eat bacteria. Leeches are segmented, eucoelomate worms of the phylum Annelida, distinguished from other annelids by anterior and posterior suckers used for locomotion and feeding — on blood or soft body parts of other animals. They are not to be confused with nematodes, which lack these (and most other) features. Leeches are mainly aquatic, but the Asian land leeches are well k...
