DNA metabarcoding data from faecal samples of the lesser (Myotis blythii) and the greater (Myotis myotis) mouse-eared bats from Bulgaria [PDF]
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2023 A comprehensive understanding of trophic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems is crucial for ecological research and conservation. Recent advances in non-invasive methods, such as environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, have enabled researchers to ...

Assessing the response of nematode communities to climate change-driven warming : a microcosm experiment [PDF]
, 2013 Biodiversity has diminished over the past decades with climate change being among the main responsible factors. One consequence of climate change is the increase in sea surface temperature, which, together with long exposure periods in intertidal areas ...

Persistence and Changes in Morphological Traits of Herbaceous Seeds Due to Burial in Soil
Agronomy, 2020 Seeds in soil banks can survive for many years before conditions become more suitable for germination. Meanwhile, seeds undergo changes in morphology and viability. In this study, we launched an artificial seed bank experiment that included 26 species of

Spatial and temporal variation in crop diversity in agroforestry homegardens of southern Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2001 A key assumption in many homegarden studies is that homegardens are ecologically and socio-economically sustainable due to their species diversity. The precise relation between diversity and sustainability is still heavily debated, however.
