The Seasonal Rhythms of Coastal eDNA: Insights Into Biodiversity and Regional Detection Patterns
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.Seasonal variation affects environmental DNA (eDNA) detection, yet its influence on species monitoring remains underexplored. This study examines eDNA detection windows across taxa, primers, and regions, finding that most species have short detection periods (1–2 months) that vary with taxonomy and primer choice. These results underscore the importance

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.Across 266 water column samples, COI eDNA metabarcoding detected 4298 eukaryotic MOTUs spanning 40 phyla in the Eastern Red Sea. Community composition varied strongly across depth and regions, revealing hidden biodiversity patterns and providing a baseline for conservation‐oriented monitoring in a future‐ocean analogue.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.This study compared the ability of active and passive eDNA filtration methods to capture environmental DNA in a marine environment with highly variable eDNA signals. Active sampling detected a greater proportion of fish biodiversity, whereas passive sampling detected a larger proportion of metazoa, with a trend of significant accumulation of numbers of

Characterising Soil Eukaryotic Diversity From NEON Metagenomics Datasets
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Belowground eukaryotic diversity serves a vital role in soil ecosystem functioning, yet the composition, structure, and macroecology of these communities are significantly under‐characterized. The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provides publicly available datasets from long‐term surveillance of numerous taxa and ecosystem ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems host diverse organisms across all six life kingdoms, yet their complex interactions remain poorly understood, primarily due to limitations in transkingdom species detection methods. To address this limitation, we developed HiMBar (https://github.com/Xchenkai2019/HIFI_barcoding), a high‐fidelity (HiFi) metagenomic barcoding ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 8, December 2025.Abstract The loss of plant diversity in grasslands is implicated as one of the main causes of arthropod decline. The loss of a single plant species can have a cascading effect on specialized arthropod species. It is thus critical to expand our understanding of plant–arthropod interactions.

Impact on Plankton Communities Following Abandonment of Rice Cultivation and Biotope Creation
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.This study clarified changes in plankton communities during the first year of fallow in long‐term cultivated paddy fields in Kyoto. These fields were in a fallow state, with no planting, cultivation, or fertilization occurring. When water was introduced at the same time of year as during active use and the fields were converted into biotopes, diversity

Phenology, food webs, and fish: The effects of shifted ice phenology across multiple trophic levels
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Winter plays a crucial role in structuring temperate aquatic ecosystems, influencing the timing of multiple processes across trophic levels including phytoplankton blooms, zooplankton production, and the reproduction and recruitment of fish species like walleye (Sander vitreus).

, 2015 I Rotiferi fanno parte della meiofauna, cioè l'insieme di metazoi che abita i sedimenti marini e d'acqua dolce. Di dimensioni microscopiche, sono organismi che svolgono un ruolo fondamentale nei processi dell'ecosistema marino legati al ciclo dei nutrienti, alla mineralizzazione e al trasporto dei sedimenti.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S273-S288, December 2025.Abstract Zooplankton communities in ponds and lakes control phytoplankton growth and serve as a food source for higher trophic levels such as fish. Recent experiments have shown that several freshwater zooplankton species as well as the phytoplankton communities on which they feed can be variably affected by rising temperatures, reduced pH and higher ...
