Environmental DNA studies have proliferated over the last decade, with promising data
describing the diversity of organisms inhabiting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The …

Monitoring fish is necessary for understanding population dynamics, tracking distribution
patterns and evaluating conservation efforts. Molecular techniques targeting environmental …

Lake sediments accumulate information on biological communities thus acting as natural
archives. Traditionally paleolimnology has focussed on fossilized remains of organisms …

Aquatic sediments harbour a diverse array of microorganisms that drive organic matter
recycling, carbon sequestration and greenhouse gases (eg, CO2, CH4, N2O) emissions …

Microbial communities play important roles in lake ecosystems and are sensitive to
environmental change. However, our understanding of their responses to long‐term change …

Molecular-based techniques offer considerable potential to provide new insights into the
impact of anthropogenic stressors on lake ecosystems. Microbial communities are involved …

Lakes and their catchments have been subjected to centuries to millennia of exploitation by
humans. Efficient monitoring methods are required to promote proactive protection and …

Climate change is altering patterns of precipitation, cryosphere thaw, and land–ocean
influxes, affecting understudied Arctic estuarine tidal flats. These transitional zones between …

To avoid loss of genetic information in environmental DNA (eDNA) field samples, the
preservation of nucleic acids during field sampling is a critical step. In the development of …

Cyanobacterial blooms are increasing in frequency and intensity globally, impacting lake
ecosystem health and posing a risk to human and animal health due to the toxins they can …
