This study examines dietary shifts in urban birds, finding species-specific changes in diet diversity and prey consumption linked to urbanisation and habitat type.

This study compares the sensitivity of endpoint PCR with capillary electrophoresis (celPCR) to digital PCR (dPCR) for quantifying environmental DNA in singleplex and multiplex reactions.

The paper introduces a 5-level validation scale to assess the readiness of eDNA assays for species monitoring, showing most assays are inadequately validated.
