A Multi‐Taxa Approach to Estuarine Biomonitoring: Assessing Vertebrate Biodiversity and Ecological Continuity Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding in the Rance River (Brittany, France)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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

open access: yesGlobal 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.
