Properties and Limitations of eDNA Substrates for Terrestrial Animal Monitoring
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) constitutes a valuable tool for monitoring terrestrial animal diversity, but outcomes are affected by multiple factors. Among these factors, the choice of sampling substrate and method is especially important and must be aligned with research objectives.

pH‐Dependent Degradation of Macrobial Environmental DNA in Water
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has increasingly been used for aquatic biomonitoring, although interpretation of results needs to consider how environmental factors influence the degradation process of eDNA. This review focuses on pH, which has long been considered a key factor in eDNA degradation although its apparent effect on eDNA ...

Abstract Purpose Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a severe corneal infection with potential detrimental effects on visual outcome and quality of life, primarily affecting young contact lens wearers. We report Acanthamoeba genotypes, subtypes and clinical outcome from Danish patients with AK. Methods Thirty‐nine PCR‐positive AK cases diagnosed and treated

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...
