Il DNA nell'acqua svela una nuova mappa dei pesci del mondo

Uno studio su Nature Ecology & Evolution usa il DNA ambientale di 113 fiumi in cinque continenti per mappare biodiversità ittica e impatti umani.

A fungal perspective: Ecological reinterpretation of short-term
temporal variation in airborne eDNA

TLDR - airborne fungal eDNA reflects cumulative spore deposition and atmospheric processes (not necessarily real-time community change) so short-term signals must be interpreted differently than plant for vertebrate eDNA

Ancient ground squirrel droppings reveal Arctic's rich evolutionary history

Ground squirrel droppings, preserved for millennia in the Yukon's deep permafrost, have yielded an enormous amount of environmental DNA from dozens of species of plants, insects, microbes and large mammals, offering detailed genetic information about an environment that no longer exists. It is among the oldest ancient DNA ever recovered and sequenced.
