Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde‐preserved zooplankton time series?

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of amplifiable DNA from formaldehyde‐fixed (FF) zooplankton samples has long been considered problematic, but advances in degraded‐DNA retrieval have renewed interest in FF samples. To access the information stored in long‐term zooplankton time series, we evaluated methods for extracting amplifiable DNA from community samples ...

Method‐dependent differences in zooplankton abundance and size metrics: Microscopy vs. ZooScan

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Image‐based approaches such as ZooScan are increasingly used for high‐throughput zooplankton monitoring. However, quantitative evaluations of methodological differences relative to conventional microscopy remain limited. In this study, zooplankton abundance and size‐based metrics obtained from microscopy and ZooScan image analysis were ...

Asynchronous population trends stabilize mesopredatory coral reef fish communities in the face of global change

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can underpin stability in communities, allowing them to withstand environmental fluctuations without changes in aggregate properties like total abundance or biomass. We investigated the influence of biodiversity on two crucial population‐level mechanisms governing abundance stability in mesopredatory coral reef fishes: 1) ‘community ...

Drivers of stability in plankton communities: dominance, asynchrony, and averaging effects across temporal, spatial and trophic scales

Oikos, EarlyView.
The origins of ecosystem stability have long intrigued ecologists. Recent theoretical advancements highlight three primary mechanisms driving stability: dominance, asynchrony and averaging. While plant community stability has been extensively studied, our understanding of marine community stability remains limited. Plankton, as key components of marine

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...
