Global Ecology and Conservation 

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic methodology, benefits, and concerns of eDNA metabarcoding, and systematically cover the applications of the method in global ecology thus far, including biodiversity monitoring across all habitats and taxonomic groups, ancient ecosystem reconstruction, plant-pollinator interactions, diet analysis, invasive species detection, pollution responses, and air quality monitoring.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the land cover and industrial plantations distribution in the peatlands of Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo in 2015 and analyse their changes since 1990.

TL;DR: The area-based approach can be applied to any geographical scale and it is considered to be one of the best approaches for maintaining a large proportion of the world's biological diversity as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected past sampling data on total concentrations of 12 heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cr, Hg, Zn, Cu, Ni, Al, Fe, Mn, As, and Co) in surface water bodies, i.e., 168 rivers and 71 lakes, from 1972 to 2017.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of advantages, disadvantages and effects of mixed-species plantations on the surrounding natural ecosystems between these two types of plantations was made, and the authors investigated combinations of species with complementary traits for efficient use of limiting resources associated with improvement in growth development and production of tree species.
