Wangensteen, O., Cebrian, E., Palacín, C., & Turon, X. (2018). Under the canopy : community-wide effects of invasive algae in marine protected areas revealed by metabarcoding. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 127, 54-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2017.11.033

We analysed with multigene (18S and COI) metabarcoding the effects of the proliferation of invasive seaweeds on rocky littoral communities in two Spanish Marine Protected Areas. The invasive algae studied were Caulerpa cylindracea, Lophocladia lallem...

Environmental DNA reveals tropical shark diversity in contrasting levels of anthropogenic impact (2017)
Journal Article
Bakker, J., Wangensteen, O., Chapman, D., Boussarie, G., Boudo, D., Guttridge, T., …Mariani, S. (2017). Environmental DNA reveals tropical shark diversity in contrasting levels of anthropogenic impact. Scientific reports, 7, No. 16886. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-17150-2

Sharks are charismatic predators that play a key role in most marine food webs. Their demonstrated vulnerability to exploitation has recently turned them into flagship species in ocean conservation. Yet, the assessment and monitoring of the distribut... Read More about Environmental DNA reveals tropical shark diversity in contrasting levels of anthropogenic impact.
