Moss‐Accumulated eDNA Is a Promising Source for Terrestrial Biodiversity Surveys Across the Tree of Life and Biomes

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.
