Can plant traits predict seed dispersal probability via red deer guts, fur, and hooves?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Seed dispersal by mammals provides functional connectivity between isolated plant habitat patches. Across much of Europe, red deer (Cervus elaphus) populations are growing steadily, potentially leading to increasing ... -
Community structure affects trophic ontogeny in a predatory fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)While most studies have focused on the timing and nature of ontogenetic niche shifts, information is scarce about the effects of community structure on trophic ontogeny of top predators. We investigated how community ... -
Conservation implications of elucidating the Korean wolf taxonomic ambiguity through whole-genome sequencing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The taxonomic status of the now likely extirpated Korean Peninsula wolf has been extensively debated, with some arguing it represents an independent wolf lineage, Canis coreanus. To investigate the Korean wolf's genetic ... -
DNA barcodes provide insights into the diversity and biogeography of the non-biting midge Polypedilum (Diptera, Chironomidae) in South America
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)South America, particularly within its tropical belt, is renowned for its unparalleled high levels of species richness, surpassing other major biomes. Certain neotropical areas harbor fragmented knowledge of insect diversity ... -
DNA metabarcoding adds valuable information for management of biodiversity in roadside stormwater ponds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Stormwater ponds are used to compensate for the adverse effects that road runoff might have on the natural environment. Depending on their design and placement, stormwater ponds can act as both refugia and traps for local ... -
Grouping groupers in the Mediterranean: Ecological baselines revealed by ancient proteins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Marine historical ecology provides a means to establish baselines to inform current fisheries management. Groupers (Epinephelidae) are key species for fisheries in the Mediterranean, which have been heavily overfished. ... -
Inclusion of juvenile stages improves diversity assessment and adds to our understanding of mite ecology – A case study from mires in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Arachnid orders, Mesostigmata, Trombidiformes, and Sarcoptiformes, commonly known as ‘mites’, are abundant in mires, both as adults and as juveniles. However, due to the challenges of identification, the juvenile forms are ... -
A regionally coherent ecological fingerprint of climate change, evidenced from natural history collections
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change has dramatic impacts on ecological systems, affecting a range of ecological factors including phenology, species abundance, diversity, and distribution. The breadth of climate change impacts on ecological ... -
Short stories from Sphagnum of rare species, taxonomy, and speciation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Conserving species and their genetic variation are a global priority to safeguard evolu-tionary potential in a rapidly changing world. Species are fundamental units in research and nature management, but taxonomic work is ... -
Spatiotemporal monitoring of the rare northern dragonhead (Dracocephalum ruyschiana, Lamiaceae) — SNP genotyping and environmental niche modeling herbarium specimens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The species we have studied the spatiotemporal genetic change in the northern dragonhead, a plant species that has experienced a drastic population decline and habitat loss in Europe. We have added a temporal perspective ... -
The population genomic basis of geographic differentiation in North American common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is an invasive, wind‐pollinated plant nearly ubiquitous in disturbed sites in its eastern North American native range and present across growing portions of Europe, Africa, Asia, ... -
Using in silico predicted ancestral genomes to improve the efficiency of paleogenome reconstruction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Paleogenomics is the nascent discipline concerned with sequencing and analysis of genome‐scale information from historic, ancient, and even extinct samples. While once inconceivable due to the challenges of DNA damage, ...
