The paper examines how urbanisation affects biodiversity in beach-dune ecotones, finding habitat-specific responses in community composition, richness, and turnover.

This paper shows that graph neural networks with a new pooling method can accurately estimate diversification parameters in complex models where likelihoods are intractable.

The paper uses metacommunity theory and metabarcoding to analyze meiofaunal communities in sandy beaches, finding environmental and spatial factors drive community assembly.

The paper uses eDNA surveys to infer metacommunity assembly processes in ponds and finds environmental factors and species interactions shape community composition.

The paper combines environmental DNA and remote sensing to map arthropod biodiversity at fine spatial scales, revealing patterns in species richness and conservation value.
