Gaps and Data Ambiguities in DNA Reference Libraries: A Limiting Factor for Molecular-Based Biodiversity Assessments Using Annelids as a Case Study. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRegional DNA reference libraries are crucial for molecular biodiversity assessments, yet they remain incomplete, limiting their effectiveness. Using annelids from the Arabian Peninsula as a case study, we identified considerable gaps in species coverage and minimal representation in public databases.

Relative Effects of Eutrophication and Warming on Freshwater Ecosystems Across Ecological Levels. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolThis experimental study explores the effects of global change on different ecological levels. We demonstrate that warming primarily impacts lower ecological levels, such as community composition, whereas eutrophication predominantly affects the most integrative ecological level, that is, ecosystem.
