Abstract Food webs represent trophic interactions within ecosystems. Matching traits of consumers and resources helps infer food-web properties. Environmental (e)DNA, commonly used for detecting species occurrences, is rarely in trait-matching studies because abundance estimates descriptions relevant are generally missing. We synthesized recent literature on inferences with eDNA trait matching to identify challenges opportunities coupled eDNA–trait recording schemes. Our case study shows how coupling data collection improves the ability characterize greater numbers food across multiple scales ranging from spatiotemporal variation. Future-proofing sets requires new or compilation existing at that detect current future changes

Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element and can accumulate in sedimentary environments. However, beyond a certain concentration threshold, Cu pose toxicity risks to biota. Benthic foraminifera are widely distributed exhibit characteristics such as high biodiversity, short life cycle, good preservation potential, pollutant sensitivity, making them bioindicators. In this study, we investigated the responses of benthic foraminiferal communities various concentrations through environmental RNA metabarcoding under controlled laboratory conditions. Some genera-Glandulina, Pyrgo, Quinqueloculina, Sorites, Vellaria-exhibited sensitivity concentrations. Other genera-Ammonia, Operculina, Reophax, Bolivina, Glabratella, Miliammina, Parasorites-displayed tolerance Moreover, levels led reduced living abundance interspecific interactions, albeit without inducing test deformities. Our findings provide novel efficient approach for exploring heavy metal pollution.
