Accuracy of occurrence and abundance estimates from insect metabarcoding

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2343-2363, August 2026.
Abstract DNA metabarcoding—high‐throughput sequencing of barcode regions from bulk samples—has become a key tool for insect biodiversity assessment. Yet, how methodological choices affect the accuracy of metabarcoding data remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we ask: (1) How does the lysis method (non‐destructive lysis vs.

Pollination Under Pressure: Grazing and Nutrient Enrichment Reshape Arctic Pollinator Communities and Interaction Networks

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Grazing exclusion reshaped Arctic flower‐visitor communities, increased plant‐pollinator interactions, and altered interaction networks, while nutrient enrichment had weaker, context‐dependent effects. Together the two drivers produced both independent and interactive effects, with tundra grasslands showing the greatest sensitivity to environmental ...

The Function of the Partially‐Opened Spathe of Pinellia pedatisecta (Araceae) as a Pitfall Pollinator Trap

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Pinellia pedatisecta has a simplified inflorescence structure, compared to its congeners with highly specialized trap pollination systems. However, our study suggests that P. pedatisecta also captures and releases pollinating insects by the spathe movement during flowering season.

Small Midges, Major Consequences: Partial Declines in Cocoa Pollination and Their Economic Impact in West Africa and Beyond

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Cocoa production forms the backbone of West Africa's agricultural economy, sustaining smallholder farmers whose livelihoods depend on stable yields. Critical to these yields is the provision of pollination services by a few key species, notably, the minuscule Forcipomyia spp.

The Feeding Ecology of Invasive Pink Salmon Juveniles in Northern Norwegian Rivers and Their Role as Prey to Native Salmonids

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Increasing numbers of invasive Pacific pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) are spawning in northern Norwegian rivers, leading to large numbers of juveniles migrating to coastal waters. This raises concerns about food competition with native salmonids in rivers, although details about the timing and intensity of pink salmon feeding and the ...
