Lake Sedimentary DNA Research on Past Terrestrial and Aquatic Biodiversity: Overview and Recommendations (2021, unknown): “Plant DNA compared to pollen and macrofossil analyses: The first studies comparing pollen and sedaDNA showed rather limited overlap, therefore only partly confirming the reliability of the taxa detected by DNA signatures [23,28,124].”
Methods for the extraction, storage, amplification and sequencing of DNA from environmental samples (2018, background): “A majority of studies of plant DNA were based on the trnL UAA intron within the chloroplast transfer RNA, or tRNA gene (e.g. Hibert et al. 2013; Parducci et al. 2013; Pedersen et al. 2013).”
Modeling Species and Community Responses to Past, Present, and Future Episodes of Climatic and Ecological Change (2015, background): “At the moment, SOADs are based on identification of body fossils (e.g., bones, pollen, shells); however, the developing field of environmental ancient DNA may provide occurrence data that can be incorporated into models (e.g., Pedersen et al. 2013, Willerslev et al. 2014).”
How will the ‘molecular revolution’ contribute to biological recording? (2015, background): “…flora and fauna from soil and other sediments (Sønstebø Gielly, & Brysting, 2010; Andersen et al., 2012; Jørgensen et al., 2012; Yoccoz et al., 2012; Pedersen et al., 2013), for non-invasive tracking of animals (for example from their faeces, see Beja-Pereira et al., 2009 for a review, or…”
The ecologist's field guide to sequence‐based identification of biodiversity (2016, unknown): “The second type of ancient eDNA exploited by ecologists is derived from lake sediments that provide a complementary tool to pollen and macrofossil analyses (Pedersen et al. 2013).”
The ecology of environmental DNA and implications for conservation genetics (2016, background): “…et al. 2005; Haile et al. 2009; Hebsgaard et al. 2009; Jørgensen et al. 2012) and aquatic (Matisoo-Smith et al. 2008; Anderson-Carpenter et al. 2011; Pedersen et al. 2013; Stager et al. 2015) sediments as well as frozen ice cores (Willerslev et al. 2007) testifies to the fact that eDNA from…”
Lake sediment multi-taxon DNA from North Greenland records early post-glacial appearance of vascular plants and accurately tracks environmental changes (2015, background): “The few lake sediment DNA studies carried out to date have focused mostly on vascular plants (Parducci et al., 2012, 2013; Pedersen et al., 2013; Boessenkool et al., 2014; Willerslev et al., 2014), but lake sediments contain DNA from many different organism groups.”
