The genome sequence of the Eurasian minnow, Phoxinus phoxinus (Linnaeus, 1758) (2024)
Journal Article
Nunn, A., Moccetti, P., & Hanfling, B. (online). 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...

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...
