Different patterns, but no temporal decline in temperate forest soil meso- and macrofauna over the last decade. [PDF]
Abstract Global biodiversity loss is threatening ecosystem functioning and human well‐being. Arthropods above the ground have substantially decreased in abundance and diversity during the last 15–20 years. However, changes in belowground biodiversity, particularly in forests, received little attention.

Combining Time-Stamped Insect Sampling With eDNA-Metabarcoding of Guano to Reconstruct Community Interactions. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Understanding the temporal dynamics of predator–prey interactions is the basis for predicting behavioral responses to climate or other environmental changes. Bats, as generalist apex predators, can provide a holistic view on ecosystem health, because their diet integrates signals from diverse insect communities and rapidly reflects ...

A Regional DNA Barcode Library for Northern Rocky Mountain Arthropods to Support Biodiversity and Molecular Ecological Research. [PDF]
We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

Chromosome Studies in Centipedes (Chilopoda) [PDF]
SUMMARYThe mitotic chromosomes of ten centipede species are described and illustrated. Seven of them, i.e. Lithobius validus (♂, ♀ 2n = 54), L. tricuspis (♀ 2n = 50), L. dentatus (♀ 2n = 46), L. pilicornis (♀ 2n = 42), Eupolybothrus tridentinus (♂ 2n = 38, ♀ 2n = 39?), Eu. grossipes (♀ 2n = 27?, ♀ 2n = 28) and Eu. nudicornis (♂ 2n = 44), had never been
