Unraveling Fish Community Diversity and Structure in the Yellow Sea: Evidence from Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Bottom Trawling by Jinyong Zhang, Xiaoyu Cui, Lin Lin, Yuan Liu, Jinqing Ye, Weiyue Zhang, Hongjun Li

“…In addition, we compared the various methods used to estimate the distributions of taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity factors. We found that eDNA metabarcoding detected a greater number of species (86 vs. 41), genera (73 vs. 37), and families (42 vs. 25) than bottom trawl results at each sampling station. eDNA metabarcoding provided higher Shannon, Simpson, and Chao1 alpha diversity indices than the bottom trawl results. …”

Bacterial Community in Sugarcane Rhizosphere Under <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> Inoculation and Straw Return by Francisco de Alcântara Neto, Danielly Araújo Pinheiro, Sandra Mara Barbosa Rocha, Marcos Renan Lima Leite, Romário Martins Costa, Janderson Moura da Silva, Sabrina Hermelindo Ventura, Mayanna Karlla Lima Costa, Thâmara Kelly dos Santos Apollo Sousa, Rafael de Souza Miranda, Karolayne Ribeiro Caetano, Erika Valente de Medeiros, Arthur Prudêncio de Araujo Pereira, Lucas William Mendes, Ademir Sérgio Ferreira Araujo

“…Although niche occupancy remained stable, PGPB specialization was higher with straw alone, suggesting that <i>B. subtilis</i> fosters a more generalist community. In conclusion, while straw return and <i>B. subtilis</i> inoculation did not affect overall bacterial diversity, <i>B. subtilis</i> increased PGPB interactions and reduced functional specialization, promoting a more generalized microbial community.…”
