This study develops and validates an environmental RNA (eRNA) method to detect and quantify specific life stages of Schistosoma mansoni in water samples, outperforming environmental DNA (eDNA) in sensitivity and stage discrimination.

This study shows that a few genes, not genome-wide diversity, drive ecological impacts of a freshwater fish on food webs and ecosystem functions.

The paper examines how genetic and species diversity affect ecosystem functions across trophic levels, finding they have opposite impacts.

The paper uses eDNA and niche modeling to show that environmental stressors, not just parasite abundance, drive disease emergence in wild salmonids.

The paper estimates effective (Ne) and census (Nc) population sizes and densities for invasive riverine meta-populations of Silurus glanis using genetic and demographic data combined with simulation and statistical methods.
