Environmental DNA (eDNA) is genetic material that has been shed from macroorganisms. It
has received increased attention as an indirect marker for biodiversity monitoring. This …

In an era of ecosystem degradation and climate change, maximizing microbial functions in
agroecosystems has become a prerequisite for the future of global agriculture. However …

Declines in European bird populations are reported for decades but the direct effect of major
anthropogenic pressures on such declines remains unquantified. Causal relationships …

Interactions connect the units of ecological systems, forming networks. Individual-based
networks characterize variation in niches among individuals within populations. These …

We reviewed the current methodology and practices of the DNA metabarcoding approach
using a universal PCR primer pair MiFish, which co-amplifies a short fragment of fish DNA …

Because of global warming, Earth's ecosystems have been experiencing more frequent and
severe heatwaves. Heatwaves are expected to tip terrestrial carbon sequestration by …

Environmental DNA (eDNA)‐based assessments of macro‐organisms have now become an
essential approach for biomonitoring. eDNA survey methods have a number of advantages …

The concept of ecological stability occupies a prominent place in both fundamental and
applied ecological research. We review decades of work on the topic and examine how our …

It is often claimed that only experiments can support strong causal inferences and therefore
they should be privileged in the behavioral sciences. We disagree. Overvaluing experiments …

Climate change interacts with local processes to threaten biodiversity by disrupting the
complex network of ecological interactions. While changes in network interactions drastically …
