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 …

The possibility of fingerprinting ancient organisms using the DNA they leave behind is a
revolution in our understanding of the past. Paleogenetic studies are rewriting our …

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 …

Retrieval of modern and ancient environmental DNA (eDNA) from sediments has
revolutionized our ability to study past and present ecosystems. Little emphasis has been …

Alpine ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau are being threatened by ongoing climate
warming and intensified human activities. Ecological time-series obtained from sedimentary …

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

Novel methods for species detection based on collection of environmental DNA (eDNA) are
not only important in biodiversity assessment in a scientific context, but are also increasingly …
