Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) biodiversity surveys have the power to transform the detection of species in natural environments, which is crucial for the conservation and management of freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Globally, eDNA‐based analyses have increased significantly, with fishes being the most widely studied aquatic ...

Abstract As climate change is having increasingly visible impacts on coastal regions, it is urgent to better understand its effects on the state of ecosystems and the services they provide. To assess the direction and magnitude of change in the high‐use waters of the Sept‐Îles region in the Gulf of St‐Lawrence, we sampled 35 sites along the coast and ...

ABSTRACT Traditional morphology‐ and molecular‐based biodiversity surveys provide essential information on species composition and diversity, but they rarely provide information about the physiological states of organisms, which are key indicators of ecosystem health.

Overlooked and underestimated: reframing restoration to include inconspicuous native invaders
Anthropogenic changes cause some native species to increase in abundance or distribution. These hyperabundant natives, native invaders, follow the same ecological ‘rules’ as exotic invasives and can have comparable impacts. However, their management is a relatively new challenge in restoration ecology, with most frameworks operating within a native ...

The construction of dams and reservoirs to meet increasing water and electricity demands has significantly altered many natural river flows, posing threats to the ecological integrity of freshwater ecosystems. Environmental flows (e‐flows) have been advocated to mitigate the negative impacts of hydroelectric power generation and to maintain healthy ...

Females actively seek extra-pair paternity (EPP) to acquire a fitness advantage for their offspring. The “context-dependence hypothesis” posits that female extra-pair mate choice has plasticity in response to environmental conditions, and therefore ...

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring
Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Potential of Thuja occidentalis L. Essential Oil and Water Extracts against Field Crop Pests
Thuja occidentalis L. essential oil (EOTO) and its compounds, such as terpinyl acetate, bornyl acetate, and β-thujone, are claimed to be highly effective against some storage pests, sanitary insects, or pests of fruit trees, while data about its use in ...
