Dynamic connectivities of plant metacommunities at a millennial time-scale: the Beringia testbed

Ulrike Herzschuh, Kathleen R. Stoof‐Leichsenring, Luca Zsofia Farkas…·Evgenii S. Zakharov

The paper examines millennial-scale changes in plant metacommunity connectivity in Beringia using sedimentary DNA from lake cores, revealing shifts driven by climate and landscape changes.

Arctic defaunation initiated a cascade of mammal-plant interaction shifts through dispersal dynamics

Sisi Liu, Kathleen R. Stoof‐Leichsenring, M.‐Th. Hütt…·Ulrike Herzschuh

The paper uses ancient metagenomics to show that loss of large mammals disrupted seed dispersal, contributing to mammoth-steppe collapse and informing Arctic rewilding.
