MetaDamage tool: Examining post-mortem damage in sedaDNA on a metagenomic scale

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The use of metagenomic datasets to support ancient sedimentary DNA (sedaDNA) for paleoecological reconstruction has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool to understand multi-organism responses to climatic shifts and events.

Biodiversidad, montañas y cambio climático

Collectanea Botanica, 2014
En este artículo se discute el origen y mantenimiento de la biodiversidad en las montañas tropicales, con énfasis en el Neotrópico, y se concluye que los patrones de biodiversidad de las biotas de gran altura no pueden ser explicados sin la acción ...

87Sr/86Sr in Archeological and Paleobiological Research: A Perspective

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The stable isotope ratio 87Sr/86Sr has been shown to have extraordinary potential for documenting the movement and life-histories of humans and other animals, both in history and prehistory.

The Paleoecology of Microplastic Contamination

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
While the ubiquity and rising abundance of microplastic contamination is becoming increasingly well-known, there is very little empirical data for the scale of their historical inputs to the environment. For many pollutants, where long-term monitoring is

What Happens Between Depositional Events, Stays Between Depositional Events: The Significance of Organic Mat Surfaces in the Capture of Ediacara Communities and the Sedimentary Rocks That Preserve Them

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
In the absence of complex, bioturbating organisms, the seafloor during the Precambrian was covered in widespread organic matgrounds. The greatest diversity and complexity of organic mat textures occur in the Ediacaran fossil record as exemplified by the ...

Prompt rewetting of drained peatlands reduces climate warming despite methane emissions

Nature Communications, 2020
Peatlands are strategic areas for climate change mitigation because of their matchless carbon stocks. Drained peatlands release this carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2).

Environmental Filters Structure Cushion Bogs’ Floristic Composition along the Southern South American Latitudinal Gradient

Plants
The environmental filtering hypothesis predicts that abiotic factors restrict communities by selecting species capable of survival and persistence under specific conditions, resulting in variations in beta diversity, phylogenetic clustering, and niche ...
