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

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

During the last glacial–interglacial cycle, Arctic biotas experienced substantial climatic
changes, yet the nature, extent and rate of their responses are not fully understood …

What drives ecosystem buildup, diversity, and stability? We assess species arrival and
ecosystem changes across 16 millennia by combining regional-scale plant sedimentary …

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 …

Understanding the transient dynamics of interlinked social–ecological systems (SES) is
imperative for assessing sustainability in the Anthropocene. However, how to identify critical …

Several studies have shown the potential of eDNA‐based proxies for plant identification, but
little is known about their spatial and temporal resolution. This limits its use for plant …

Abstract During the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, the dominant mammoth steppe
ecosystem across northern Eurasia vanished, in parallel with megafauna extinctions …

The condition of ancient marine ecosystems provides context for contemporary biodiversity
changes in human‐impacted oceans. Sequencing sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) is …

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