Long‐distance pollen transport mediated by migratory hoverflies

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance animal migrations shape ecosystems by redistributing nutrients, connecting populations, and mediating ecological interactions. However, the ecological contributions of many abundant insect migrants remain poorly quantified. Hoverflies are among the most numerous migratory insects and highly efficient pollinators, suggesting that their ...

Guidance and best practices for species identification using eDNA metabarcoding – When do you call a cod a cod? [PDF]

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics
With the rapid uptake of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding for a wide range of conservation and management uses, there is a growing need for guidance and best practices for species identification. A range of methodological and interpretive decisions

Comparative environmental RNA and DNA metabarcoding analysis of river algae and arthropods for ecological surveys and water quality assessment

Scientific Reports, 2022
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for species analysis, while the use of environmental RNA (eRNA) metabarcoding is more limited. We conducted comparative eDNA/eRNA metabarcoding of the algae and arthropods (aquatic insects) in water ...

Gut microbiome seasonality is associated with dietary plasticity and coexistence in three sympatric Pamir ungulates

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract outlines a multi‐omics framework investigating the seasonal dietary composition and gut microbial communities of three coexisting ungulate species inhabiting the extreme high‐altitude Pamir Plateau (Ovis ammon polii, Capra sibirica, and Pseudois nayaur). By integrating dietary DNA metabarcoding, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shotgun

Constructing Synthesizable Evaluations of Technical Interventions to Reduce Wildlife‐Caused Agricultural Losses 构建易用于证据整合的野生动物致农业损失缓解措施成效评估

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
A framework with eight key components to assess the effectiveness of technical measures to reduce wildlife‐caused agriculture loss. ABSTRACT Technical interventions to reduce wildlife‐caused agricultural losses (e.g., crops, livestock, and fisheries) are essential for human‐wildlife coexistence.

Improving plant DNA metabarcoding accuracy with ecological filters and Angiosperms353: Field and pollen microscopy validation

Applications in Plant Sciences
Premise Metabarcoding has become a successful tool for the identification of species in ecological assemblages. However, the usefulness of metabarcoding for identifying plant species has been hampered due to a lack of universal gene regions that work ...

An assessment of minimum sequence copy thresholds for identifying and reducing the prevalence of artefacts in dietary metabarcoding data [PDF]

, 2021
Metabarcoding provides a powerful tool for investigating biodiversity and trophic interactions, but the high sensitivity of this methodology makes it vulnerable to errors, resulting in artefacts in the final data. Metabarcoding studies thus often utilise
