| Abstract | Ancient environmental DNA (aeDNA) is transforming the scientific study of past biodiversity dynamics and the effects of past climate change and intensifying human land use. aeDNA methods permit the detection of past species by recovering ancient fragments of DNA from sediments and matching these fragments to genetic libraries of known species. Because many species preserve poorly and are thus invisible to traditional paleontological approaches, aeDNA is enabling the study of past biodiversity dy |
