Abstract: Preserving biodiversity is a global challenge requiring data on species’ distribution and abundance over large geographic and temporal scales. However, traditional methods to survey mobile species’ distribution and abundance in marine environments are often inefficient, environmentally destructive, or resource‐intensive. Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a new means to assess biodiversity and on much larger scales, but adoption of this approach for surveying whole animal communities in large, dy… Show more

“…This is, however, contrary to studies in other kelp forests globally (depth range: 5–12 m, sampled 1 m above ocean floor, Port et al. 2016; depth range 0–10 m, sampled along vertical transect, Monuki, Barber, and Gold 2021), where depth partitioning in community assemblages was detected. The lack of differences detected in our study may be an artifact of the close depth proximity (1 m vs. 4 m); however, our finding is consistent with Rossouw et al.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…The total variance in community-level ecological distance was attributable to differences among sites (38.6%), among transects within sites (45.4%), or among PCR replicates of the same water samples (15.9%; PERMANOVA with Jaccard distance, p < 0.001, 999 permutations, using OTU presence-absence data). These results are consistent with earlier work in nearshore habitats ( Port et al, 2016 ), reflecting differences in eDNA profiles at spatial scales on the order of tens to hundreds of meters (here, between transects separated by ca. 50–100 m) and limited variability due to PCR and sequencing processes.…”

“…These results are consistent with a substantial number of studies that have found that eDNA metabarcoding distinguishes biological communities that are physically connected by currents over similar or smaller distances apart than our field stations (Port et al. 2016; Jeunen et al. 2019; West et al.…”
