Seagrass meadows are key blue carbon (C) ecosystems, storing large amounts of organic C over centuries. Their climate benefits may be reduced by methane (CH 4 ) emissions, whose microbial and environmental descriptors in Zostera noltii meadows, dominant seagrass in North‐Western Europe, remain poorly understood. We studied CH 4 fluxes, CH 4 ‐producing and consuming microbial communities and sediment physicochemical parameters...
Integrated Reanalysis of Global Riverine Fish eDNA Datasets Shows Robustness and Congruence of Biodiversity ConclusionsNARA Subscribed
The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized biodiversity assessments in aquatic ecosystems, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of fish communities across diverse regions. However, the global comparability of these eDNA datasets remains ambiguous due to heterogeneous sampling protocols and bioinformatic workflows across studies, making it difficult to assess how robust and comparable the biodiversity patterns infe...
Trade‐offs are an inherent feature of organismal biology and fundamental to the evolution of natural populations. Here, we use experimental evolution in large, genetically diverse populations of Drosophila melanogaster to directly measure the manifestation of trade‐offs in response to fluctuating selection on ecological timescales. We first conducted a lab‐based selection experiment to quantify a genome‐wide signal of fluctuat...
To advance understanding of meiofauna, key components of marine benthic ecosystems, an international team conducted a morphology-based taxonomic survey and workshop around São Miguel, the largest Azorean island, in 2019. The survey yielded critical baseline data on meiofaunal diversity and, despite taxonomic challenges that limited identification of certain taxa, laid a solid foundation for further research. To expand these fi...
Exploring intra-varietal variation for complex traits in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)NARA Subscribed
Key message Centuries of clonal propagation have shaped remarkable intra-varietal genetic diversity in grapevine, offering valuable opportunities to dissect complex traits and accelerate genetic improvement while safeguarding varietal integrity. Abstract Climate change poses significant challenges to global grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) production, highlighting the urgent need for adaptive breeding strategies to accelerate ge...
