Extracting massive ecological data on state and interactions of species using large language models

This study uses large language models to extract ecological interactions from 83,910 scientific papers, creating a network of 144,402 interactions between 36,471 taxa with high precision and sensitivity.

Tracking the phenology of riverine insect communities using environmental DNA

This study shows that eDNA can capture seasonal changes in aquatic insect communities across a river catchment, revealing phenological trends and species dynamics over time.

A global synthesis on land-cover changes in watersheds shaping freshwater detrital food webs

This study synthesizes global data showing that land-cover changes in watersheds negatively impact freshwater detrital food webs by reducing biodiversity and ecosystem processes.

Benchmarking beta-diversity measures and transfer functions for sedimentary ancient DNA

This study benchmarks beta-diversity measures and transfer functions for sedimentary ancient DNA, showing that newer ordination methods are more robust to ancient DNA noise.
