iDNA from terrestrial haematophagous leeches as a wildlife surveying and monitoring tool - prospects, pitfalls and avenues to be developed [PDF]
Invertebrate-derived DNA (iDNA) from terrestrial haematophagous leeches has recently been proposed as a powerful non-invasive tool with which to detect vertebrate species and thus to survey their populations.

Higher fungal diversity is correlated with lower CO2 emissions from dead wood in a natural forest [PDF]
Wood decomposition releases almost as much CO2 to the atmosphere as does fossil-fuel combustion, so the factors regulating wood decomposition can affect global carbon cycling.

NAMERS: a purpose-built reference DNA sequence database to support applied eDNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Applied eDNA metabarcoding is increasingly being considered as a tool to inform management decisions, regulations, or policy development. Because these downstream considerations are coming to the forefront of eDNA applications, optimizing workflow ...

Sun exposure drives Antarctic cryptoendolithic community structure and composition [PDF]
The harsh environmental conditions of the ice-free regions of Continental Antarctica are considered one of the closest Martian analogues on Earth. There, rocks play a pivotal role as substratum for life and endolithism represents a primary habitat for ...

Fungicides and the grapevine wood mycobiome: a case study on Tracheomycotic Ascomycete Phaemoniella chlamydospora reveals potential for two novel control strategies [PDF]
Original ResearchPhaeomoniella chlamydospora is a tracheomycotic fungus that colonizes the xylem of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.), causing wood discoloration, brown wood streaking, gummosis, and wood necrosis, which negatively affect the overall ...
