Evaluating 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios and Sr mass fractions in otoliths of different European freshwater fish species as fishery management tool in an Alpine foreland with limited geological variability

This study evaluates 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios and Sr mass fractions in fish otoliths to identify fish movement, stocking, and habitat origin in an Alpine foreland with low geological variation.

The effect of activity, energy use, and species identity on environmental DNA shedding of freshwater fish

This study investigates how fish activity, energy use, and species identity affect eDNA shedding in freshwater fish, finding positive correlations between eDNA quantities and these factors.

Lateral and longitudinal fish eDNA distribution in dynamic riverine habitats

This study examines how seasonal and diurnal discharge changes affect lateral and longitudinal distribution of fish eDNA in a glacier-fed river, highlighting the need for hydrological considerations in eDNA sampling.

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.

Combining molecular gut content analysis and functional response models shows how body size affects prey choice in soil predators

The paper combines molecular gut content analysis with functional response models to show that predator body size and prey identity drive prey choice in soil centipedes.
