The sandwich hybridization assay (SHA) is a rapid and robust RNA detection method for
identifying and quantifying planktonic organisms in marine samples. Although tests for …

The sandwich hybridization assay (SHA) is a ribosomal RNA (rRNA) targeted molecular
method used to detect specific target organisms from diverse communities found in …

An efficient RNA-extraction method is crucial for transcriptomic studies of ecologically
important organisms like copepods. In this study, we used the copepod Acartia hudsonica as …

We investigated the nucleic acid ratio (RNA/DNA) as a proxy for starvation in copepods
collected from coastal and pelagic sites across the North Pacific Ocean. While RNA/DNA …

Copepods play a central role in marine food webs as grazers of plankton and as key prey for
many predators. Therefore, quantifying their specific trophic interactions is critical for …

Copepods, the dominant component of the zooplankton community, function as a vital
ecological link within marine food webs. This dissertation evaluates using RNA: DNA …

Copepod nauplii are important in plankton food web dynamics, but limited information is
available about their ecology due to methodological challenges. Reported here is a new …

Recent advances in robotic technologies provide new opportunities to conduct high-
resolution sampling of patchily distributed zooplankton and associated environmental …

Biomarkers are very useful for in situ assessments of zooplankton growth. In particular, RNA-
based methods have been developed to estimate egg production in copepods. However …

The Sandwich Hybridisation Assay (SHA) provides a simple and rapid means to detect and
estimate cell density of a variety of algal species associated with harmful algal blooms …
