Survey of Synanthropic Spiders in Ireland Reveals Expansion and Dominance of the Invasive Noble False Widow Steatoda nobilis in Urban Habitats (Araneae: Theridiidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Rapid urbanisation has facilitated the establishment of large populations of the Noble false widow spider outside of its native range through the use of synanthropic microhabitats. In Ireland, we survey these favourable microhabitats for spider diversity for the first time and find that the Noble false widow now typically makes up more than 40% of the ...

Phenological shifts and increases in voltinism within a moth community over a century of anthropogenic change

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In temperate ecosystems, warming temperatures can advance spring phenology, extend autumn phenology, disrupt dormancy regulation, result in phenological mismatch across taxa, and even lead to increases in the number of generations per year (i.e., increases in voltinism).

Passive Gauze‐Based eDNA Sampler Proves Efficient and Cost‐Effective in the Marine Environment

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Here, we present the first empirical comparison of the metaprobe 2.0, a low‐cost, passive eDNA sampler, against an industry standard Sterivex filtration method using dip‐collected 1‐L water samples (“water bottles”). Across 14 joint deployments, we assessed detection and quantification of eDNA of two elasmobranch and two teleost species. While Sterivex

Not just ‘super‐predators': human behaviour shapes wildlife behavioural responses across avoidance, tolerance and attraction

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.
