Dynamic connectivities of plant metacommunities at a millennial time-scale: the Beringia testbed Open
Ecological connectivity shapes ecosystem responses to climate change and is thought to underpin stability, yet its millennial-scale dynamics remain poorly resolved. We asked how spatial and temporal connectivity of plant metacommunities ch…

Microbial sedimentary DNA from a cultural landscape disentangles the impacts of humans and nature over the past 13.5 thousand years Open
Bacteria and archaea are currently under-characterised in palaeoecological studies, despite their ubiquity, high diversity and tight integration with the biotic and abiotic environment and human activity. The complexity of their assemblage…

Resurrection of a diatom after 7000 years from anoxic Baltic Sea sediment Open
Dormancy is a widespread key life history trait observed across the tree of life. Many plankton species form dormant cell stages that accumulate in aquatic sediments and, under anoxic conditions, form chronological records of past species …
