DNA metabarcoding diet analysis in ruminants is quantitative and integrates feeding over several weeks

This study validates DNA metabarcoding as a quantitative tool for diet analysis in ruminants, showing it integrates feeding over several weeks.

Towards quantitative DNA Metabarcoding: A method to overcome PCR amplification bias

This paper proposes a method to correct PCR amplification bias in DNA metabarcoding using qPCR and a stochastic PCR model, improving quantitative accuracy in biodiversity studies.

Multiple adaptive solutions to face climatic constraints: novel insights in the debate over the role of convergence in local adaptation

The paper compares adaptive trajectories in sheep and goats to explore genomic convergence in local adaptation, finding few shared adaptive genes and suggesting diverse mechanisms.

Comparing three types of dietary samples for prey DNA decay in an insect generalist predator

This study compares prey DNA detection success in three dietary samples (regurgitates, feces, whole consumers) of carabid beetles, finding that regurgitates and whole consumers retain DNA longer than feces.

Soil community assembly varies across body sizes in a tropical forest

The paper shows that soil community assembly varies with body size, with microorganisms influenced by environmental factors and mesofauna showing random distribution in a tropical forest.
