We applied eDNA metabarcoding to assess vertebrate diversity in the Rance Estuary, France, across five stations spanning marine to freshwater environments, including areas upstream and downstream of a tidal power plant dam. A total of 124 vertebrate MOTUs were detected, with community composition reflecting the estuarine gradient and species turnover ...

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

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.
