Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding (parallel sequencing of DNA/RNA for
identification of whole communities within a targeted group) is revolutionizing the field of …

The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and
aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely …

Mountain lakes are often situated in protected natural areas, a feature that leads to their role
as sentinels of global environmental change. Despite variations in latitude, mountain lakes …

Over the last decade, there has been growing interest in the analysis of environmental DNA
(eDNA) to infer the presence of organisms in aquatic environments. The efficacy of …

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (= cyanoHABs) are an increasing feature of many
waterbodies throughout the world. Many bloom-forming species produce toxins, making …

Ecological communities change in time and space, but long-term dynamics at the century-to-
millennia scale are poorly documented due to lack of relevant data sets. Nevertheless …

Analyses of sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) have increased exponentially over the last decade
and hold great potential to study the effects of anthropogenic stressors on lake biota over …

Lake sediments constitute natural archives of past environmental changes. Historically,
research has focused mainly on generating regional climate records, but records of human …

Over the last decade, an increasing number of studies have used lake sediment DNA to
trace past landscape changes, agricultural activities or human presence. However, the …

Human impacts on biodiversity are well recognized, but uncertainties remain regarding
patterns of diversity change at different spatial and temporal scales. Changes in microbial …
