Global changes are profoundly affecting forest ecosystems. Droughts, combined with high temperatures and attacks from pathogens and certain insects, are leading to increased mortality of some key tree ...

The complexity and natural variability of ecosystems present a challenge for reliable detection of change due to anthropogenic influences. This issue is exacerbated by necessary trade-offs that reduce ...

In recent years, the global environment has been grappling with the devastating consequences of anthropogenic stressors, resulting in the dramatic depletion of numerous species and habitats across the ...

Locations of 59 lakes sampled for sedimentary DNA analysis, overlaid on a vegetation map of the Tibetan Plateau. Ⅰ, needleleaf forest; Ⅱ, needleleaf and broadleaf mixed forest; Ⅲ, broadleaf forest; Ⅳ, ...

We assessed fungal diversity present in air samples obtained from King George Island, Antarctica, using DNA metabarcoding through high-throughput sequencing. We detected 186 fungal amplicon sequence ...

Elasmobranchs are threatened and eDNA metabarcoding is a powerful tool that can help efforts to better understand and conserve them. Nevertheless, the inter-calibration between optimal methodological ...
