The study compared trawl and eDNA metabarcoding of demersal fish communities in an open ocean environment around the Faroe Islands. eDNA provided a comparable assessment of demersal species biomass and revealed additional spatial information on keystone species known to be under‐sampled by demersal trawls due to size and behavioral traits.

ABSTRACT To examine how middle‐distance athletes maintain self‐paced time trial performance on successive days, 12 national‐standard middle‐distance specialists performed two self‐paced 1500 m time trials on successive days. Following baseline assessment and familiarisation trials, participants (10 male, 2 female, mean age ± SD: 27 ± 7 years, mass: 66 ±
