Properties and Limitations of eDNA Substrates for Terrestrial Animal Monitoring

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
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

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
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 ...

Genetic diversity of Acanthamoeba and clinical outcome predictors in Danish patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 1, Page 44-51, February 2026.
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

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
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 ...

Can Widely Used Methods Be Turned Into eDNA Samplers for Ground‐Dwelling Arthropods? Insights From Two Pilot Studies in West European Salt Marshes

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 164-177, February 2026.
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 ...

Biology, Detection, and Management of Lecanosticta acicola: Emerging Challenges for the Management of Brown Spot Needle Blight in Pine Forests

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungus Lecanosticta acicola, is a widely distributed foliar disease of pines that causes needle necrosis, premature defoliation, and growth loss in both natural forests and commercial plantations. Although L.
