Understanding the long-term effects of ongoing global environmental change on marine
ecosystems requires a cross-disciplinary approach. Deep-time and recent fossil records can …

Sedimentary ancient DNA (seda DNA) offers a novel retrospective approach to
reconstructing the history of marine ecosystems over geological timescales. Until now, the …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) once shed can exist in numerous states with varying behaviors
including degradation rates and transport potential. In this study, we consider three states of …

Benthic foraminifera, single-celled marine organisms, are known for their wide distribution,
high abundance and species diversity, test (ie, shell) preservation in the sedimentary (eg …

In recent years, the region surrounding Sepetiba Bay (SB; SE Brazil) has become a hub of
intense urban expansion and economic exploitation in response to ore transport and …

Coastal waters face significant anthropogenic stress, particularly from tourism, exacerbating
pollution, especially in areas like touristic islands. Ischia, the largest island in the Gulf of …

Anthropogenic activities are causing detrimental changes to coastal plants–namely
seagrass, mangrove, and tidal marshes. Looking beyond recent times to past vegetation …

Environmental DNA (e DNA) preserved in marine sediments is increasingly being used to
study past ecosystems. However, little is known about how accurately marine biodiversity is …

Heavy metal contamination is listed among the most alarming threats to the environment
and human health. The detrimental effects of heavy metals in the natural environment span …

By deciphering information encoded in degraded ancient DNA extracted from up to million‐
years‐old samples, molecular paleomicrobiology enables to objectively retrace the temporal …
