This study analyzes the genetic stability and resilience of Baltic diatom populations over 8000 years, showing accelerated genetic change linked to historical human activity.

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.

This study uses sedimentary DNA from Lake Constance to analyze microbial changes over 13.5 thousand years, showing how both natural and human factors shaped microbial communities.

This paper develops a DNA-based index using ancient sediment DNA to assess past and present phytoplankton dominance in the Baltic Sea, revealing historical shifts in species composition.

The paper retrieves mitochondrial genomes of extinct Pleistocene megafauna from recent sediment layers in Siberian lakes, showing that permafrost thawing affects aeDNA preservation and stratigraphic signal.
