Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding (parallel sequencing of DNA/RNA for
identification of whole communities within a targeted group) is revolutionizing the field of …

The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and
aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely …

Purpose This review of sediment source fingerprinting assesses the current state-of-the-art,
remaining challenges and emerging themes. It combines inputs from international scientists …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has seen a massive increase in application in freshwater
systems with a concurrent growth in protocol developments and a drive to gain a better …

Abstract The European Alps are highly rich in species, but their future may be threatened by
ongoing changes in human land use and climate. Here, we reconstructed vegetation …

The effects of climate change on species richness are debated but can be informed by the
past. Here, we generated a sedimentary ancient DNA dataset covering 10 lakes and applied …

Environmental DNA is increasingly being used to reconstruct past and present biodiversity
including from freshwater ecosystems. Macrophytes are especially good environmental …

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

Pronounced glacial and interglacial climate cycles characterized northern ecosystems
during the Pleistocene. Our understanding of the resultant community transformations and …

Past trajectories of alpine agroecosystems are legacies that we should consider to improve
our understanding of current responses to global environmental changes. By integrating …
