Extreme Silk Toughness in Caerostris Spiders Is Limited to Adult Females

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We ask whether species with exceptionally tough silk, like Caerostris bark spiders, show different developmental patterns in silk toughness between ontogenetic stages and sexes. We found that only large females produce exceptionally tough silk with higher initial stiffness, while juvenile females as well as adult and juvenile males produce inferior ...

Farm‐scale Natural Capital Accounting: Unlocking the potential of natural capital to support sustainable agriculture

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The demand for information about property‐scale natural capital is growing rapidly as producers and supply chains respond to opportunities and pressures to report environmental performance information. Natural Capital Accounting offers promise but agreed methods for farm‐scale accounts are currently lacking.

Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...
