‘It's not much, but it's honest work’: The status of environmental DNA analyses of fish biodiversity in southern Africa

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Species‐environment relationships of coastal diatoms from the Sept‐Îles region, Gulf of St‐Lawrence (Québec, Canada)

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Bounding uncertainties in intrinsic human elimination half-lives and intake of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the North American population

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2013
We examine the balance between intake, intrinsic elimination half-lives and human body burdens measured in biomonitoring for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the North American population using the population-level pharmacokinetic model ...

Environmental RNA‐Based Metatranscriptomics as a Novel Biomonitoring Tool: A Case Study of Glyphosate‐Based Herbicide Effects on Freshwater Eukaryotic Communities

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Back to life after 50 years: effects of environmental flow restoration on macroinvertebrate biodiversity and river ecological status. A case study of the Valseco stream, Spain

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Genetic benefits of female from extra-pair paternity are context dependent within the socially monogamous Tree Sparrow

open access: yesAvian Research
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

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
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

open access: yesMolecules
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 ...
