An eDNA Survey of Plant Biodiversity in a Local Dam Within South Africa's Largest City

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Ecological information is needed to establish, implement and monitor such biodiversity management plans. This study employs environmental DNA to provide a good overview of plant community structure in an urban dam in Johannesburg, South Africa. It further reveals a gap in the taxonomic coverage of South African plants on public DNA databases.

Niche Differentiation of Three Terrestrial Isopod Species Based on DNA Metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Species coexistence is a hot topic in ecology, with niche differentiation playing a key role in reducing interspecific competition. This study investigates the dietary habits and niche differentiation of three terrestrial isopod species (Armadillidium vulgare, Sphaeroma raffaelei, and Trachelipus semiproiectus) using DNA metabarcoding technology.
