Journal ArticleDOI
Mangrove-Associated Fungal Communities Are Differentiated by Geographic Location and Host Structure.
TL;DR: It is suggested that fungi of terrestrial origins dominate structures that are not inundated by tidal regimes, while marine fungi dominate mangrove parts and sediments that are submerged by the incoming tide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of coral-associated bacterial communities in an urbanised marine environment shows strong divergence over small geographic scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that bacterial communities associated with the reef-building coral, Pocillopora acuta, from nine offshore islands in an urbanised coral reef ecosystem (Singapore) can diverge sharply and are significantly different among sampling locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA barcoding of traded shark fins, meat and mobulid gill plates in Singapore uncovers numerous threatened species
Benjamin J. Wainwright,Yin Cheong Aden Ip,Mei Lin Neo,Jia Jin Marc Chang,Chester Zhikai Gan,Naomi Clark-Shen,Danwei Huang,Madhu Rao,Madhu Rao +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used DNA barcoding to identify the species of origin for a variety of shark and ray products readily available to consumers in Singapore, a major importer of these goods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seagrass‐associated fungal communities show distance decay of similarity that has implications for seagrass management and restoration
Benjamin J. Wainwright,Geoffrey Zahn,Joshua Zushi,Nicole Li Ying Lee,Jillian Lean Sim Ooi,Jen Nie Lee,Danwei Huang +6 more
TL;DR: The fungal communities associated with the seagrass Enhalus acoroides collected from Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia are investigated, showing a significant pattern of distance decay, indicating dispersal limitations and/or differences in habitat type are contributing to the observed biogeographic patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seagrass‐associated fungal communities follow Wallace's line, but host genotype does not structure fungal community
TL;DR: Fungi are generally considered to have excellent dispersal potentials and marine fungi have the potential to disperse far and wide in an environment that has no obvious barriers to dispersal, but it is shown that fungal communities on either side of Wallace’s line are significantly different from one another.
