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 …

Advances in DNA sequencing technology have revolutionized the field of molecular analysis
of trophic interactions, and it is now possible to recover counts of food DNA sequences from …

Metabarcoding provides a powerful tool for investigating biodiversity and trophic
interactions, but the high sensitivity of this methodology makes it vulnerable to errors …

The monumental work of Olov Hedberg provided deep insights into the spectacular and
fragmented tropical alpine flora of the African sky islands. Here we review recent molecular …

Ethiopia is home to one of the richest and most unique assemblages of fauna and flora on
the African continent. Contained within its borders are two major centers of endemism, the …

DNA metabarcoding is a rapidly growing technique for obtaining detailed dietary
information. Current metabarcoding methods for herbivory, using a single locus, can lack …

Megafauna assemblages have declined or disappeared throughout much of the world, and
many efforts are underway to restore them. Understanding the trophic ecology of such …

Competition, facilitation, and predation offer alternative explanations for successional
patterns of migratory herbivores. However, these interactions are difficult to measure …

Herbivores possess many counteradaptations to plant defenses, and a growing body of
research describes the role of symbiotic gut bacteria in mediating herbivorous diets among …

Prehistoric and recent extinctions of large-bodied terrestrial herbivores had significant and
lasting impacts on Earth's ecosystems due to the loss of their distinct trait combinations. The …
