Pooling size sorted Malaise trap fractions to maximize taxon recovery with metabarcoding [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Small and rare specimens can remain undetected when metabarcoding is applied on bulk samples with a high specimen size heterogeneity. This is especially critical for Malaise trap samples, where most of the biodiversity is contributed by small ...

Metabarcoding Malaise traps and soil eDNA reveals seasonal and local arthropod diversity shifts
Scientific Reports, 2021 Forest habitats host enormous diversity, but little is known about the seasonal turnover of arthropod species between the above- and below ground forest layers.

Applying and testing a novel method to estimate animal density from motion‐triggered cameras
Ecosphere, 2022 Estimating animal abundance and density are fundamental goals of many wildlife monitoring programs. Camera trapping has become an increasingly popular tool to achieve these monitoring goals due to recent advances in modeling approaches and the capacity ...

Abundance estimation with DNA metabarcoding – recent advancements for terrestrial arthropods [PDF]
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2023 Biodiversity is declining at alarming rates worldwide and large-scale monitoring is urgently needed to understand changes and their drivers. While classical taxonomic identification of species is time and labour intensive, the combination with DNA-based ...

Impacts of land-use management on ecosystem services and biodiversity: an agent-based modelling approach [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The science of ecosystem service (ES) mapping has become increasingly sophisticated over the past 20 years, and examples of successfully integrating ES into management decisions at national and sub-national scales have begun to emerge.
