TL;DR: For amphibians, the detection probability with eDNA metabarcoding was 0.97 (CI = 0.90-0.99) vs. 0.58 (CI=0.50-0.63) for traditional surveys as mentioned in this paper.

Wood density, phytomass variations within and among trees, and allometric equations in a tropical rainforest of Africa
Matieu Henry,Matieu Henry,Matieu Henry,Aurélien Besnard,Winston Asante,J. Eshun,Stephen Adu-Bredu,Riccardo Valentini,Martial Bernoux,Laurent Saint-André +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a sampling methodology and calculation procedures to assess biomass for tropical tree species of contrasted tree shapes in Africa, identifying factors affecting within and between trees wood density, and proposed an allometric model that integrates these factors and evaluated the reliability of using generalized allometric equations in this type of forests.

Demographic and genetic approaches to study dispersal in wild animal populations: A methodological review
Hugo Cayuela,Quentin Rougemont,Jérôme G. Prunier,Jean-Sébastien Moore,Jean Clobert,Aurélien Besnard,Louis Bernatchez +6 more
TL;DR: A unified framework allowing researchers to combine methods and select the more suitable tools to address a broad range of important topics about the ecology and evolution of dispersal and its consequences on animal population dynamics and genetics is proposed.

Resilience to climate variation in a spatially structured amphibian population.
TL;DR: A weak relationship between climatic variables and the survival of large-bodied newts is found, suggesting that dry, hot summers negatively impact survival of great crested newts.
