Alpha diversity patterns are unmatched by beta diversity across productivity gradients of the subarctic

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms linking productivity to patterns of species richness, species prevalence, and beta diversity remain contested and may be scale‐dependent. We address productivity–diversity relationships in arthropod communities across two subarctic landscapes.

Genomics‐Based Approaches to Ant Monitoring in Land Management: Validation of COI Metabarcoding Primers

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
We validated ant‐specific COI metabarcoding primers using in silico, in vitro and in situ analyses, identifying assays that improve ant detection from mock communities, spike‐in tests and soil eDNA. The recommended assays reduce reliance on taxonomic expertise and enable scalable, high‐throughput ant biomonitoring for land‐management applications ...

Comparison of Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Trawl Data Highlights Gear Selectivity of Marine Demersal Fish Surveys on the Faroese Plateau

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
The study compared trawl and eDNA metabarcoding of demersal fish communities in an open ocean environment around the Faroe Islands. eDNA provided a comparable assessment of demersal species biomass and revealed additional spatial information on keystone species known to be under‐sampled by demersal trawls due to size and behavioral traits.

Passive Gauze‐Based eDNA Sampler Proves Efficient and Cost‐Effective in the Marine Environment

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Here, we present the first empirical comparison of the metaprobe 2.0, a low‐cost, passive eDNA sampler, against an industry standard Sterivex filtration method using dip‐collected 1‐L water samples (“water bottles”). Across 14 joint deployments, we assessed detection and quantification of eDNA of two elasmobranch and two teleost species. While Sterivex

Development of eNA Sampling for Early Detection of Pathogens in On‐Farm Water Sources

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
We compare four water‐sampling methods for detecting microbial and viral eNA in livestock troughs and show all approaches effectively recover community profiles, supporting flexible, field‐ready surveillance of livestock pathogens. ABSTRACT Early detection of livestock pathogens is critical for mitigating risk and implementing timely control or ...

Environmental DNA Reveals Diverse and Depth‐Stratified Biodiversity in East Indian Ocean Submarine Canyons

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...
