Abstract Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene epochs 3.6 to 0.8 million years ago had
climates resembling those forecasted under future warming. Palaeoclimatic records show …

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

The efficient degradation of lignocellulose is a bottleneck for its integrated utilization. This
research performed species analysis and made functional predictions in various ecosystems …

Glacier and permafrost shrinkage and land-use intensification threaten mountain wildlife
and affect nature conservation strategies. Here, we present paleometagenomic records of …

Motivation Under favourable conditions DNA molecules can persist for hundreds of
thousands of years. Such genetic remains make up invaluable resources to study past …

Ancient environmental DNA (aeDNA) is a crucial source of information for past
environmental reconstruction. However, the computational analysis of aeDNA involves the …

Aquatic plants and algae are the primary producers in lake ecosystems, providing the
organic matter and oxygen necessary for the nutrients and energy of most organisms …

Hybridization capture is an emerging method making use of short oligonucleotide baits to
enrich DNA libraries for genomic fragments of specific organisms thus enabling detection of …

Traditional zooarchaeological and archaeobotanical methods based on morphological
identification of the excavated faunal and floral remains have been broadly used in …

Sedimentary ancient DNA (sed aDNA) is continuing to revolutionise our understanding of
past biological and geological processes by retrieving and analysing the ancient DNA …
