    • BBI: an R package for the computation of Benthic Biotic Indices from composition data. 

      Cordier, Tristan; Pawlowski, Jan (2018)
      The monitoring of impacts of anthropic activities in marine environments, such as aquaculture, oil-drilling platforms or deep-sea mining, relies on Benthic Biotic Indices (BBI). Several indices have been formalised to ...
    • Toward a Global Public Repository of Community Protocols to Encourage Best Practices in Biomolecular Ocean Observing and Research 

      Samuel, Robyn; Meyer, Raïssa; Buttigieg, Pier Luigi; Davies, Neil; Jeffery, Nicholas W.; Samuel, Robyn; Pavloudi, Christina; Pitz, Kathleen Johnson; Sweetlove, Maxime; Theroux, Susanna; van de Kamp, Jodie; Watts, Alison (2021)
      Biomolecular ocean observing and research is a rapidly evolving field that uses omics approaches to describe biodiversity at its foundational level, giving insight into the structure and function of marine ecosystems over ...
    • DNA Metabarcoding Methods for the Study of Marine Benthic Meiofauna: A Review. 

      Gielings, Romy; Fais, Maria; Fontaneto, Diego; Creer, Simon; Costa, Filipe Oliveira; Renema, Willem; Macher, Jan-Niklas (2021)
      Meiofaunal animals, roughly between 0.045 and 1 mm in size, are ubiquitous and ecologically important inhabitants of benthic marine ecosystems. Their high species richness and rapid response to environmental change make ...
    • A practical guide to DNA-based methods for biodiversity assessment. 

      Bruce, Kat; Blackman, Rosetta C.; Bourlat, Sarah J.; Hellström, Micaela; Bakker, Judith; Bista, Iliana; Bohmann, Kristine; Bouchez, Agnès; Brys, Rein; Clark, Katie; Elbrecht, Vasco; Fazi, Stefano; Fonseca, Vera G.; Hänfling, Bernd; Leese, Florian; Mächler, Elvira; Mahon, Andrew R.; Meissner, Kristian; Panksep, Kristel; Pawlowski, Jan; Schmidt Yáñez, Paul Luis; Seymour, Mathew; Thalinger, Bettina; Valentini, Alice; Woodcock, Paul; Traugott, Michael; Vasselon, Valentin; Deiner, Kristy (Pensoft Advanced Books, Sofia, Bulgaria, 2021)
      This book represents a synthesis of knowledge and best practice in the field of DNA-based biomonitoring at the time of writing. It has been written with end-users of molecular tools in mind, as well as those who are new ...
    • Collection Standand Operating Procedures: Omics size fractionation. Version 1.00. 

      Trano, Anna Chiara (Naples Ecological Research Augmented Observatory (NEREA), Naples, Italy, 2021)
      The NEREA project aims to promote the development of new indicators for ocean health and new models of ocean microbiomes by coupling traditional physical, chemical, and biological measurements with omics approaches (i.e. ...
    • Framing Cutting-Edge Integrative Deep-Sea Biodiversity Monitoring via Environmental DNA and Optoacoustic Augmented Infrastructures. 

      Stefanni, S.; Mirimin, L.; Stankovic, D.; Chatzievangelou, D.; Bongiorni, L.; Marini, S.; Modica, M.V.; Manea, E.; Bonofiglio, F.; del Rio Fernandez, J.; Cukrov, N.; Gavrilovic, A.; De Leo, F.C.; Aguzzi, J. (2022)
      Deep-sea ecosystems are reservoirs of biodiversity that are largely unexplored, but their exploration and biodiscovery are becoming a reality thanks to biotechnological advances (e.g., omics technologies) and their ...
