Exhaustive biodiversity data, covering all the taxa in an environment, would be fundamental
to understand how global changes influence organisms living at different trophic levels, and …

DNA‐based techniques are increasingly used for measuring the biodiversity (species
presence, identity, abundance and community composition) of terrestrial and aquatic …

The global retreat of glaciers is dramatically altering mountain and high-latitude landscapes,
with new ecosystems develo** from apparently barren substrates,,–. The study of these …

Restoration aims to return ecosystem services, including the human health benefits of
exposure to green space. The loss of such exposure with urbanization and industrialization …

What are the long-term consequences of invasive species? After invasion, how long do
ecosystems require to reach a new equilibrium? Answering these questions requires long …

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

Megafauna assemblages have declined or disappeared throughout much of the world, and
many efforts are underway to restore them. Understanding the trophic ecology of such …

In the last decade, eDNA and metabarcoding have opened new avenues to biodiversity
studies; amphibians and reptiles are animals for which these new approaches have allowed …

Abstract eDNA refers to DNA extracted from an environmental sample with the goal of
identifying the occurrence of past or current biological communities in aquatic and terrestrial …

Biological invasions exert multiple pervasive effects on ecosystems, potentially disrupting
species interactions and global ecological processes. Our ability to successfully predict and …
