Spatio-temporal monitoring of deep-sea communities using metabarcoding of sediment DNA and RNA (2016)
Journal Article
Guardiola, M., Wangensteen Fuentes, O., Taberlet, P., Coissac, E., Uriz, M., & Turon, X. (2016). Spatio-temporal monitoring of deep-sea communities using metabarcoding of sediment DNA and RNA. PeerJ, 4, e2807. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.2807

We assessed spatio-temporal patterns of diversity in deep-sea sediment communities using metabarcoding. We chose a recently developed eukaryotic marker based on the v7 region of the 18S rRNA gene. Our study was performed in a submarine canyon and its... Read More about Spatio-temporal monitoring of deep-sea communities using metabarcoding of sediment DNA and RNA.

Metabarcoding techniques for assessing biodiversity of marine animal forests (2016)
Book Chapter
Wangensteen Fuentes, O. S., & Turon, X. (2016). Metabarcoding techniques for assessing biodiversity of marine animal forests. In Marine animal forests : the ecology of benthic biodiversity hotspots (1-29). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-17001-5_53-1

The “marine animal forests” are among the most diverse ecosystems in the Biosphere. However, exhaustive biodiversity assessment of these communities has been so far elusive. The real extent of biodiversity and its temporal and spatial variability pat... Read More about Metabarcoding techniques for assessing biodiversity of marine animal forests.

Hope springs eternal in the starfish gonad: preserved potential for sexual reproduction in a single-clone population of a fissiparous starfish (2016)
Journal Article
Garcia-Cisneros, A., Pérez-Portela, R., Wangensteen Fuentes, O., Campos-Canet, M., & Palacín, C. (2017). Hope springs eternal in the starfish gonad: preserved potential for sexual reproduction in a single-clone population of a fissiparous starfish. Hydrobiologia, 787(1), 291-305. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-016-2971-8

Among echinoderms, asexual reproduction by fission occurs in few species. This strategy is considered a temporary response to stressful conditions and usually alternates with sexual reproduction events; thus, monoclonal populations are extremely rare...
