Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves Open
Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering cap…

From the Balkans to France: the threatened range-restricted freshwater mussel Unio carneus revealed as an introduced species by environmental DNA Open
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful, non-invasive tool for detecting invasive species at an early stage, even when populations are small or elusive. Its high sensitivity can reveal introductions that might otherwise go unnoticed for dec…

Combining environmental DNA and remote sensing variables to model fish biodiversity in tropical river ecosystems Open
Tropical river ecosystems face substantial threats, leading to a sharp decline in their biodiversity. High-resolution data on the spatial distribution of biodiversity is essential for devising effective conservation strategies. However, bi…
