TL;DR: The ‘Biomes of Australian Soil Environments’ (BASE) project has generated a database of microbial diversity with associated metadata across extensive environmental gradients at continental scale, becoming the first Australian soil microbial diversity database.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabarcoding of benthic eukaryote communities predicts the ecological condition of estuaries.
Anthony A. Chariton,Sarah Stephenson,Matthew J. Morgan,Andrew D. L. Steven,Matthew J. Colloff,Leon N. Court,Christopher M. Hardy +6 more
TL;DR: DNA-derived measurements of biological composition have the potential to produce data covering all of life, and provide a tantalizing proposition for researchers and managers, enabling the decisions regarding ecological condition to be based on a more holistic view of biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted Enrichment: Maximizing Orthologous Gene Comparisons across Deep Evolutionary Time
TL;DR: This work takes advantage of genomic data from a single species to test the limits of hybridization-based enrichment of hundreds of exons across frog species that diverged up to 250 million years ago and generates a well-supported phylogeny of frogs, suggesting that this technique is a practical solution towards resolving relationships across deep evolutionary time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of inundation and drought on eukaryote biodiversity in semi-arid floodplain soils.
Darren S. Baldwin,Darren S. Baldwin,Matthew J. Colloff,Gavin N. Rees,Gavin N. Rees,Anthony A. Chariton,Garth O. Watson,Leon N. Court,Diana M. Hartley,Matthew J. Morgan,Andrew J. King,Jessica S. Wilson,Mike Hodda,Christopher M. Hardy +13 more
TL;DR: The discovery of a large suite of organisms able to survive nearly a decade of drought, and up to a year submerged supports the concept of inherent resilience of Australian semi‐arid floodplain soil communities under increasing pressure from climatic induced changes in water availability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetic dating supports an ancient endemic speciation model in Australia's biodiversity hotspot.
TL;DR: A molecular phylogeny for the myobatrachid frog genus Heleioporus is inconsistent with previous biogeographic hypotheses involving repeated invasions from the east to the west and some previous in situ models and instead strongly supports an ancient endemic speciation model.
