Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

Automated quantification of fine root production from minirhizotron image time series

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant root growth accounts for a major part of the net primary production in grassland and forest ecosystems and influences the global carbon and nutrient cycles. Measuring the production of roots is inherently difficult, prone to inconsistencies and time‐consuming. Notably, there are currently no methods yet to automate this task.

Exposures in Indoor Air Affecting Health

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor air quality (IAQ) is influenced by a wide range of chemical, biological and physical agents that can negatively impact physical, immunological and mental health. Adverse health effects depend on the type and concentration of pollutants, duration of exposure, and individual susceptibility.

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Disentangling mechanisms that mediate soil fungal α and β diversity during forest secondary succession

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity is a central, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology. Although species pools and local assembly processes are believed to play non‐negligible roles in shaping the within‐community (α) and among‐community (β) diversity of microbial communities, their relative importance as ...

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

Ecography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Limitations to fungal diversity in forest soil during secondary succession

Ecography, EarlyView.
The Bass Becking and Beijerinck theory of the microbial world that ‘everything is everywhere but the environment selects' has provided a basis to test microbial ecological theory for almost a century (Baas Becking 1934). Applying theory to the apparent chaos of the microbial world is arduous, and applying rules that guide our understanding is difficult.

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.
