The genome sequence of the Eurasian minnow, Phoxinus phoxinus (Linnaeus, 1758) (2024)
Journal Article
Nunn, A. D., Moccetti, P., & Hänfling, B. (in press). The genome sequence of the Eurasian minnow, Phoxinus phoxinus (Linnaeus, 1758). Wellcome Open Research, 9, Article 504. https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.22867.1

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Phoxinus phoxinus (the Eurasian minnow; Chordata; Actinopteri; Cypriniformes; Leuciscidae). The genome sequence spans 950.50 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseu... Read More about The genome sequence of the Eurasian minnow, Phoxinus phoxinus (Linnaeus, 1758).

Towards the conservation of the crucian carp in Europe: Prolific hybridization but no evidence for introgression between native and non-native taxa (2024)
Journal Article
Jeffries, D., Lawson-Handley, L., Lamatsch, D., Olsén, K. H., Sayer, C. D., & Hänfling, B. (2024). Towards the conservation of the crucian carp in Europe: Prolific hybridization but no evidence for introgression between native and non-native taxa. Molecular ecology, 33(19), Article e17515. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.17515

Hybridization plays a pivotal role in evolution, influencing local adaptation and speciation. However, it can also reduce biodiversity, which is especially damaging when native and non-native species meet. Hybridization can threaten native species vi...

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Gobio gobio (the gudgeon; Chordata; Actinopteri; Cypriniformes; Gobionidae). The genome sequence spans 1,460.70 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseudomolecules.... Read More about The genome sequence of the gudgeon, Gobio gobio (Linnaeus, 1758) [Version 1].

Optimising species detection probability and sampling effort in lake fish eDNA surveys (2024)
Journal Article
Sellers, G. S., Jerde, C. L., Harper, L. R., Benucci, M., Muri, C. D., Li, J., Peirson, G., Walsh, K., Hatton-Ellis, T., Duncan, W., Duguid, A., Ottewell, D., Willby, N., Law, A., Bean, C. W., Winfield, I. J., Read, D. S., Handley, L. L., & Hänfling, B. (2024). Optimising species detection probability and sampling effort in lake fish eDNA surveys. Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 8, 121–143. https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.8.104655

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is transforming biodiversity monitoring in aquatic environments. Such an approach has been developed and deployed for monitoring lake fish communities in Great Britain, where the method has repeatedly shown a co...

Improving environmental DNA (eDNA) methods for the detection and monitoring of invasive Dreissenid mussels (2024)
Thesis
Peixoto, S. P. F. Improving environmental DNA (eDNA) methods for the detection and monitoring of invasive Dreissenid mussels. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4706368

Dreissenid bivalves, zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha, Pallas, 1771) and quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis, Andrusov, 1897), are small freshwater molluscs native to the Ponto-Caspian region in Eastern Europe. Increasing globalization h... Read More about Improving environmental DNA (eDNA) methods for the detection and monitoring of invasive Dreissenid mussels.
