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

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1535-1555, May 2026.
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.

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 169-181, May 2026.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

A review of experimental design in forensic taphonomy: moving towards forensic realism

Forensic Sciences Research, 2020
Forensic taphonomy as a discipline requires standardization to satisfy Daubert criteria for scientific data to be admissible in court. In response, there has been a shift towards quantification of methodology and estimating the postmortem interval ...

Species Assembly Is Lineage Specific: Phylogenetic Divergent Species Aggregate in Some Lineages but Segregate in Others

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
Phylogenetic relatedness of co‐occurring species is often used as a proxy for inferring prior assembly processes. However, this approach ignores the possibility that different phylogenetic lineages may have evolved distinct assembly processes. Here, we directly observed assembly processes through changes in the co‐occurrence patterns of 1770 pairs of ...

A preliminary study on decomposition and seasonality of insect succession of decomposing rabbit carcasses at El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences
Background Studying insect succession on carcasses is important in estimating the postmortem interval. This study aims to identify the decomposition stages of decomposing rabbit carcasses and to find out the relationship between seasonal variations and ...

Succession study on forensically important Coleoptera from India: a preliminary study and its forensic implications

Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2019
Background Coleoptera is the second most important group of entomofauna associated with decomposition, yet little is known about its role in decomposition and postmortem colonization of carcasses in India and other parts of the world.

Insects on decomposing carcasses of small rodents in a secondary forest in Southeastern Brazil

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
The decomposition of small carcasses in the open is frequently neglected although it may provide information of forensic importance. This paper describes an experimental study of arthropod species associated with carcasses of mouse, Mus musculus ...
