Abstract Arboreal camera trapping is a burgeoning method providing novel and effective technique to answer research questions across variety of ecosystems, it has the capacity improve our understanding wide range taxa. However, while terrestrial received much attention, there little guidance for dealing with unique challenges working in arboreal realm. Our review draws on expertise researchers from six continents broader literature investigate advantages disadvantages trapping, consider when...
Abstract Assessing the impact of human activity on ecosystems often links local biodiversity to disturbances measured within same locality. However, remote may also affect biodiversity. Here, we used environmental DNA metabarcoding evaluate relationships between vertebrate (fish and mammals) disturbance intensity in two Amazonian rivers. Measurements anthropic -here forest cover losses- were made from immediate vicinity sampling sites up 90 km upstream. The findings suggest that...
Real-time biodiversity monitoring should provide more resolved data to quantify shifts in ecological communities progressively altered by anthropogenic disturbances. Identifying trends requires a rapid and efficient inventory method that enables the collection delivery of high-resolution within short intervals. Using aquatic environmental DNA (eDNA), we investigated spatiotemporal changes fish mammal along Maroni River French Guiana. We compared spatial between two years, separated four-year...
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as one of the most efficient methods to assess aquatic species presence. While method can in theory be used investigate nonaquatic fauna, its development for inventorying semi‐aquatic and terrestrial fauna is still at an early stage. Here we investigated potential eDNA mammals Neotropical environments, they aquatic, or terrestrial. We collected 96 sites distributed along three Guianese watersheds compared our inventories expected...
Freshwater ecosystems are among the most endangered ecosystem in world. Understanding how human activities affect these requires disentangling and quantifying contribution of factors driving community assembly. While it has been largely studied temperate freshwaters, tropical remain challenging to study due high species richness lack knowledge on distribution. Here, use eDNA-based fish inventories combined a community-level modelling approach allowed depicting assembly rules relative...
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has recently gain much attention to assess aquatic environment biodiversity. A great variety of protocols have been developed collect, extract, and analyze eDNA, some which are continuously evolving optimized with technological improvements. Such shifts might deprecate the biological data produced earlier protocols, leading a loss knowledge. Here, we investigated robustness an eDNA method through comparison two biodiversity datasets generated...
Abstract Arboreal and flying frugivorous animals represent primary dispersers in the Neotropics. Studies suggest a possible compensation for loss of large species by smaller ones with expanding rampant anthropogenic pressures declining populations larger frugivores. However, studies on seed dispersal frugivores vertebrates generally focus diurnal, terrestrial, canopy, species, nocturnal canopy being less studied. Setting camera traps high fruiting nutmeg trees revealed first time frequency...
Abstract To face the current downward trajectory of freshwater biodiversity loss, implementation effective monitoring programs is utmost importance. Environmental DNA offers unprecedented opportunities for this aim but several challenges still need to be addressed before implementing efficient species using eDNA. One them optimizing eDNA sampling scheme maximize detection probability. For instance, in flowing freshwaters, transport downstream from its source can impact probability, and blur...
Ecological interactions are being affected at unprecedented rates by human activities in tropical forests. Yet, the continuity of ecological functions provided animals, such as seed dispersal, is crucial for forest regeneration and species resilience to anthropogenic pressures. The construction new roads forests one main boosters habitat destruction it facilitates access previously isolated areas increases defaunation loss functions. It, therefore, becomes increasingly urgent rapidly assess...

French Guiana forests are threatened by increasing human activity such as infrastructure development, facilitating access to the forest and, therefore, logging, mining, farming and hunting. To highlight impact of pressure on fauna, dung beetle assemblage was analyzed near Saint-Georges-de-l’Oyapock compared with other sites in Guiana, considering distance main city cover loss proxies activities. Hill numbers beta diversity were calculated. Non-metric multidimensional scaling redundancy...
