Airborne Environmental DNA Analysis as a Tool to Monitor Live Bird Trade

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
We explore airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis as a novel tool to detect avian species and assess its potential for monitoring bird trade. We collected airborne samples in both enclosed and open market environments, accompanied by visual surveys, and processed them using DNA extraction and metabarcoding to identify avian taxa.

Changing Rainfall Drives Locally Asynchronous Reproduction of Tropical Birds via Modular Trophic Pathways

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
In low‐latitude mountains, we found insectivorous bird communities switched from breeding before to after the dry season at a threshold in dry‐season insects. Localized breeding season reversal of insectivores across wet‐to‐dry gradients magnified short‐term effects of drought and contrasted with the seasonal stability of nectar‐fruit consumers.

Tails of Biodiversity: Vertebrate Community Assessment in a Neotropical River Basin via eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess vertebrate biodiversity in headwater streams of the Rio Santo Antônio basin, southeastern Brazil, a tributary of the Rio Doce. A total of 119 vertebrate OTUs were identified, with oxidation–reduction potential emerging as the strongest environmental predictor of species richness.
