Environmental DNA captures native and non-native fish community variations across the lentic and lotic systems of a megacity
Globally, urbanization poses a major threat to terrestrial biodiversity, yet its impact on fish
diversity is poorly understood, mainly because of surveying difficulties. In this study …

Fungal communities decline with urbanization—more in air than in soil
Increasing evidence suggests that degradation of biodiversity in human populated areas is a
threat for the ecosystem processes that are relevant for human well-being. Fungi are a …
