Environmental DNA of aquatic macrophytes: the potential for reconstructing past and present vegetation and environments

A. Reveret, D. P. Rijal, P. D. Heintzman, A. G. Brown, K. R. Stoof-Leichsenring, I. G. Alsos

This paper evaluates methods for using environmental DNA to reconstruct aquatic vegetation and environmental conditions, finding metabarcoding of the trnL intron is optimal for taxonomic resolution.

Ancient sedimentary DNA shows rapid post-glacial colonisation of Iceland followed by relatively stable vegetation until Landnam

I. G. Alsos, Y. Lammers, S. E. Kjellman, M. K. Merkel, E. Bender, A. Rouillard, E. Erlendsson, E. R. Guthmundsdottir, I. O. Benediktsson, W. R. Farnsworth, S. Brynjolfsson, G. Gisladottir, S. D. Eddudottir, A. Schomacker

This paper uses ancient sedimentary DNA from lake cores to show rapid post-glacial plant colonization in Iceland followed by stable vegetation until human settlement.

Molecular dietary analyses of western capercaillies (Tetrao urogallus) reveal a diverse diet

P. Y. S. Chua, Y. Y. S. Lammers, E. Menoni, T. Ekrem, K. Bohmann, S. Boessenkool, I. G. Alsos

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to analyze the diet of western capercaillies, revealing a diverse diet with new food items and differences by location, season, and sex.

Sedimentary ancient DNA shows terrestrial plant richness continuously increased over the Holocene in northern Fennoscandia

D. P. Rijal, P. D. Heintzman, Y. Lammers, N. G. Yoccoz, K. E. Lorberau, I. Pitelkova, T. Goslar, F. J. A. Murguzur, J. S. Salonen, K. F. Helmens, J. Bakke, M. E. Edwards, T. Alm, K. A. Brathen, A. G. Brown, I. G. Alsos

This study uses sedimentary ancient DNA to show that terrestrial plant richness increased continuously in northern Fennoscandia during the Holocene, even as temperatures declined after the Early Holocene.

Metabarcoding lake sediments: taphonomy and representation of contemporary vegetation in environmental DNA (eDNA) records

I. G. Alsos, Y. Lammers, N. G. Yoccoz, T. Joergensen, P. Sjoegren, L. Gielly, M. E. Edwards

This study evaluates how well eDNA from lake sediments represents contemporary vegetation, finding that eDNA detects 31% of taxa within 2 m of the shore but misses some rare and distant taxa.
