• Freshwater ostracods (Crustacea) and environmental variability of polygon ponds in the tundra of the Indigirka Lowland, north-east Siberia 

      Schneider, Andrea; Wetterich, Sebastian; Schirrmeister, Lutz; Herzschuh, Ulrike; Meyer, Hanno; Pestryakova, Luidmila A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Freshwater ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) are valuable biological indicators. In Arctic environments, their habitat conditions are barely known and the abundance and diversity of ostracods is documented only in scattered records with incomplete ecological characterization. To determine the taxonomic range of ostracod assemblages and their habitat conditions in polygon ponds in the Indigirka Lowland, ...

      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 ...
    • Larix species range dynamics in Siberia since the Last Glacial captured from sedimentary ancient DNA 

      Schulte, Luise; Meucci, Stefano; Stoof-Leichsenring, Kathleen R.; Heitkam, Tony; Schmidt, Nicola; von Hippel, Barbara; Andreev, Andrei A.; Diekmann, Bernhard; Biskaborn, Boris K.; Wagner, Bernd; Melles, Martin; Pestryakova, Lyudmila A.; Alsos, Inger Greve; Clarke, Charlotte; Krutovsky, Konstantin V.; Herzschuh, Ulrike (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-09)
      Climate change is expected to cause major shifts in boreal forests which are in vast areas of Siberia dominated by two species of the deciduous needle tree larch (Larix). The species differ markedly in their ecosystem functions, thus shifts in their respective ranges are of global relevance. However, drivers of species distribution are not well understood, in part because paleoecological data ...
