Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Shrubs of the genus Vaccinium serve as foundation species in boreal ecosystems as they define much of the structure of the ground vegetation and play key roles in many ecosystem services and processes. For example, Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) and Vaccinium vitis‐idaea (cowberry) constitute staple foods for several species of large ...

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
, 2019 The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...
