Complementary but Not Interchangeable: A Comparison of eDNA and Bulk Sample Metabarcoding for the Assessment of Groundwater Invertebrate Communities

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Bulk‐ and eDNA‐metabarcoding were compared across 50 groundwater sites (monitoring wells, springs, hydrants) to assess invertebrate communities. Both recovered different community structures with limited overlap (13.8% OTUs); eDNA was dominated by non‐stygobionts, and bulk samples by stygobionts.

Biodiversity Assessment of Some Benthic Macro Invertebrates in Ajiwa Reservoir, Katsina State, Nigeria

UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research, 2017
Benthic macroinvertebrates represent a useful tool in the evaluation of environmental quality through studies of the structure of communities and their relationship to anthropic activities within a reservoir.

Climate Warming Promotes Carbon Sequestration and Weathering in Tundra Landscapes and Alters Carbon Chemistry of Subarctic Lakes in Scandinavia

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Climate‐induced vegetation greening (NDVImax) stimulated C‐sequestration in subarctic catchments by 10%–85% during the last decades. Increases in weathering and declines in non‐marine SO4 atmospheric deposits were identified as the main drivers of decadal increases in inorganic C (ICalk) run‐off to subarctic lakes.

Lithium and Water: Why Hydrological Limits Will Define a Just Energy Transition

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
Lithium extraction is reframed as a water governance challenge rather than solely a mining issue. Water‐Bounded Lithium Governance places hydrological limits at the center of decision‐making, offering a new pathway to reconcile critical mineral supply with environmental integrity, indigenous rights, and a just energy transition.

Zooplankton reliance on autochthonous and allochthonous resources across mountain lakes revealed through essential amino acid δ13C analysis

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Terrestrial subsidies shape aquatic ecosystem structure and function, serving as important energy channels for consumers when phytoplankton and other autochthonous resources are limited. Despite this, quantifying the assimilation of allochthonous nutrients by aquatic consumers can be challenging. Here, we show terrestrial plants, benthic algae,

Impact of Hypoxia on the Community Structure of Benthic Macroinvertebrates of Lagos Lagoon, Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2016
Study of the Lagos lagoon was conducted for two years to investigate the impact of hypoxia on the benthic  macroinvertebrates. Water and benthic samples were collected monthly along the study stretch and analysed in a standard laboratory.

Comparison of eDNA, bulk-community metabarcoding, and morphological identification approaches for assessing stream macroinvertebrate communities

Ecological Indicators
High-throughput sequencing enables the parallel sequencing of community samples, including environmental DNA (eDNA), making metabarcoding a widely used tool for biodiversity assessment.
