This paper compares isothermal amplification methods (LAMP and RPA) with qPCR for detecting natterjack toad eDNA, finding RPA matches qPCR sensitivity while LAMP is less sensitive.

The paper examines how biogeographic context influences land-use impacts on soil multitrophic diversity in tropical dry forests, finding region-specific responses to forest-to-pasture conversion.

The paper detects canopy biodiversity using eDNA from rainwater, finding lower diversity in a plantation compared to a mature forest.

This study analyzes diatom diversity and abundance in the global ocean using Tara Oceans data, identifying key environmental drivers and community patterns.

The paper quantifies plankton community structure globally, revealing inverted biomass pyramids dominated by gelatinous organisms and predicting future shifts in oceanic carbon cycles.

metabaR is an R package that improves DNA metabarcoding data quality by identifying artefacts, assessing filtering thresholds, and providing visualisation tools for ecological analysis.
