Substrate‐Dependent Variation in Environmental DNA Persistence and Degradation From a Small Mammal
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses have been applied to terrestrial environments for over a decade, yet knowledge of the dynamics of eDNA deposition, movement and degradation remains limited. To address this, we conducted a controlled experiment over 1 year to assess the persistence of eDNA from an arboreal mammal across four substrates (water,

Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Each year, billions of animals undertake migratory journeys, resulting in large transfers of energy across the globe. Population declines in many migratory species have affected these, reducing ecosystem resilience. We quantify the value lost and show how conserving migratory species can contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation, and ...

Evaluating the performance of the ‘Seabin’ : a fixed point mechanical litter removal device for sheltered waters [PDF]
Mechanical interventions are increasingly suggested as a means of removing plastic litter from aquatic environments; their performance is rarely evaluated, but such information is critical to inform policy interventions such as those required to ...
