A systematic review evaluating the performance of eDNA methods relative to conventional methods for biodiversity monitoring

Ecography, EarlyView.
The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

‘mixglm': an R package for estimation of stable states, tipping points, and ecosystem resilience using mixture models

Ecography, EarlyView.
A number of modelling frameworks exist to estimate resilience from ecological datasets. A subset of these frameworks seeks to estimate the whole ‘stability landscape', which can be used to calculate resilience and identify stable states and tipping points.

Temperature variability homogenized thermal responses in an ectotherm community along a European longitudinal gradient

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.

Meshing or Clashing Gears? Design (In)Coherences Between the EU Regulation on Deforestation‐Free Products and Third Country Environmental Regulations

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As new regulations emerge to address deforestation and unsustainable land use, their interaction with existing national frameworks remains uncertain. This study examines the (in)coherence between the European Union Regulation on deforestation‐free products (EUDR) and domestic deforestation and land use regulations in Brazil, Cameroon and Gabon.
