Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Technical challenges in the implementation of macroinvertebrate DNA metabarcoding in river biomonitoring: A case study from peninsular Spain—Advantages, limitations and roadmap

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
This study evaluates the opportunities and challenges of using DNA metabarcoding of river macroinvertebrates for routine ecological status assessment under the EU Water Framework Directive. By reanalysing data from rivers in north‐west Spain, it identifies key sources of false positives and negatives, compares bulk and eDNA sampling with traditional ...

Invasive species invoke a lifetime of trophic change in native stream fishes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Trophic interactions operate across the lifetime of an individual organism, yet our understanding of these processes is largely limited to a single life stage or moment in time. Management and conservation implications of this knowledge gap are particularly important, given the mounting number, spread, and ecological impacts of invasive ...
