Succession of Lichens in Front of Retreating Glaciers in Sweden and Norway. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the succession of lichens in glacier forefields in Sweden and Norway to assess how retreating ice shapes early lichen colonization and diversity patterns. Our results reveal consistent successional trends across sites and highlight the role of time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions in structuring lichen communities ...

Assessing the palatability of different meats consumed in a biodiversity hotspot to inform alternative protein interventions. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Alternative protein interventions are common in conservation. They aim to reduce the hunting or consumption of wildlife by promoting substitutes. However, selecting suitable meat substitutes is challenging because many factors drive wild meat consumption. Palatability, one such factor, drives consumer food preference and is potentially crucial

Host Traits Impact the Outcome of Metagenomic Library Preparation From Dental Calculus Samples Across Diverse Mammals. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Dental calculus metagenomics has emerged as a valuable tool for studying the oral microbiomes of humans and a few select mammals. With increasing interest in wild animal microbiomes, it is important to understand how widely this material can be used across the mammalian tree of life, refine the related protocols and understand the expected ...
