A New Look at Neon-C and SEP-Neon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Studies of the isotopic composition of neon in lunar soils, meteorites, and interplanetary dust particles have revealed several distinct components. In addition to implanted solar wind, which has a ^(20)Ne/^(22)Ne-abundance ratio of 13.7, there is an ...

Promoting Community‐Led Monitoring of Taonga (Treasured) Species and Freshwater Health Through eDNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
The manuscript describes our partnership with a rural community and the use of freshwater tree‐of‐life eDNA analysis methods to provide a tangible demonstration of the ecosystem health and biodiversity measurements of their local water catchment. The eDNA methods were able to provide a clear link back to culturally significant species, some of which ...

Temporal Dynamics of a Fish Parasite (Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae) and Its Two Main Hosts in Pyrenean Streams: An Environmental DNA‐Based Approach

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
This study used eDNA and digital PCR to track the parasite T. bryosalmonae and its hosts over a year in the Pyrenees. Results showed seasonal and spatial synchrony, especially in summer, with stronger alignment in nearby sites and where fish infection rates were high.

Moessbauer Spectroscopy for Lunar Resource Assessment: Measurement of Mineralogy and Soil Maturity [PDF]

open access: yes
First-order assessment of lunar soil as a resource includes measurement of its mineralogy and maturity. Soils in which the mineral ilmenite is present in high concentrations are desirable feedstock for the production of oxygen at a lunar base.
