Fast‐tracking bespoke DNA reference database generation from museum collections for biomonitoring and conservation

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for

Synthesis of Population Trends Reveals Seascape‐Wide Reorganisation of Biodiversity From Microalgae to Birds

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
We present a systematic and quantitative analysis of population trends to capture the seascape‐wide reorganisation of biodiversity from microalgae to birds. First, we categorised population trends and found over one third of populations in the Wadden Sea to change, that is, increase or decrease.

Winterfell survivor: The European phylogeography of a riparian earthworm (Annelida, Clitellata)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 3, Page 394-405, May 2025.
Abstract Although some earthworms can survive in permafrost and tolerate cold conditions, it is generally believed that most earthworms were eradicated from northern latitudes during the Last Glacial Maximum. The main goal of this study is to test this hypothesis using a cosmopolitan earthworm as model, Eiseniella tetraedra. We collected 1640 specimens
