Untangling Colour Diversity: Ecogeographic Patterns in Two <i>Scolopendra</i> Species Revealed by Citizen Science. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

Intestinal Parasite Community Dynamics in the Critically Endangered Chinese Alligator (<i>Alligator sinensis</i>): Multifactorial Insights From 18S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur results firstly demonstrate the structure of parasite communities in A. sinensis and clarify how they are shaped by interacting ecological and management factors, providing critical baseline data for future research. ABSTRACT The intestinal parasite communities of vertebrates are shaped by complex interactions among biological, environmental, and ...

Combining Time-Stamped Insect Sampling With eDNA-Metabarcoding of Guano to Reconstruct Community Interactions. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT 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]
Ecol EvolWe 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 (
