  • SedaDNA shows that transhumance of domestic herbivores has enhanced plant diversity over the Holocene in the Eastern European Alps

    Open AccessScarlett Zetter, Sandra Garcés‐Pastor et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2024Referencias: 16

    The Eastern European Alps boasts highly biodiverse ecosystems and a rich archaeological history. However, there is limited research on the enduring impacts of historical climate change and human activities on plant biodiversity in this region. Using sedimentary ancient DNA, we reconstructed plant and animal dynamics from 8500 years before present (ka BP) around Großer Winterleitensee (Zirbitzkogel, Austria). Variable intensities of human activiti…

  • Sedimentary Ancient DNA Reveals Local Vegetation Changes Driven by Glacial Activity and Climate

    Open AccessLucas Elliott, Dilli P Rijal et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2023

    Disentangling the effects of glaciers and climate on vegetation is complicated by the confounding role that climate plays in both systems. We reconstructed changes in vegetation occurring over the Holocene at Jøkelvatnet, a lake located directly downstream from the Langfjordjøkel glacier in northern Norway. We used a sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding dataset of 38 samples from a lake sediment core spanning 10,400 years using primers…

  • New integrated molecular approaches for investigating lake settlements in north-western Europe

    Open AccessAntony G Brown, Antony Brown et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 25

    Lake settlements, particularly crannogs, pose several contradictions—visible yet inaccessible, widespread yet geographically restricted, persistent yet vulnerable. To further our understanding, we developed the integrated use of palaeolimnological (scanning XRF, pollen, spores, diatoms, chironomids, Cladocera, microcharcoal, biogenic silica, SEM-EDS, stable-isotopes) and biomolecular (faecal stanols, bile acids, sedaDNA) analyses of crannog cores…

  • Towards a Jōmon food database

    Open AccessAya Komatsu, Eric J Cooper et al.ARTICLEWorld Archaeology2022Referencias: 39

    One of the most entrenched binary oppositions in archaeology and anthropology has been the agriculturalist vs hunter-gatherer-fisher dichotomy fuelling a debate that this paper tackles from the bottom-up by seeking to reconstruct full past diets. The Japanese prehistoric Jōmon cultures survived without fully-developed agriculture for more than 10,000 years. Here we compile a comprehensive, holistic database of archaeobotanical and archaeozoologic…

  • Lake Sedimentary DNA Research on Past Terrestrial and Aquatic Biodiversity

    Open AccessEric Capo, Charline Giguet-Covex et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2021

    The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely applied nowadays, knowledge gaps remain in this field and there is therefore still research to be conducted to ensure the reliability of the sedimentary DNA signal. Building on the most recent literature and seven original case studies, we synthesize the state-of-the-art an…

  • Metabarcoding of modern soil DNA gives a highly local vegetation signal in Svalbard tundra

    Open AccessMary E Edwards, Inger G Alsos et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Citada por: 1Referencias: 8

    Environmental DNA retrieved from modern soils (eDNA) and late-Quaternary palaeosols and sediments (aDNA and sedaDNA) promises insight into the composition of present and past terrestrial biotic communities, but few studies address the spatial relationship between recovered eDNA and contributing organisms. Svalbard’s vascular plant flora is well known, and a cold climate enhances preservation of eDNA in soils. Thus, Svalbard plant communities are …

  • Sedimentary ancient DNA from Lake Skartjørna, Svalbard

    Open AccessInger G Alsos, Per Sjögren et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2015Citada por: 5Referencias: 12

    Reconstructing past vegetation and species diversity from arctic lake sediments can be challenging because of low pollen and plant macrofossil concentrations. Information may be enhanced by metabarcoding of sedimentary ancient DNA ( sedaDNA). We developed a Holocene record from Lake Skartjørna, Svalbard, using sedaDNA, plant macrofossils and sediment properties, and compared it with published records. All but two genera of vascular plants identif…

  • Range shifts and global warming

    Open AccessBert Buizer, Stef Weijers et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2012

    Global change is expected to lead to range shifts of plant species. The ecological mechanisms\nunderpinning these shifts are currently not well understood. Here, we compared ecological responses possibly underlying southern range contraction and northern range expansion of\nEmpetrum nigrum, a key species in northern heathlands, which may be related to global\nchange. We hypothesized a negative response to warming in the ‘south’ (i.e. the Netherla…
