Does Invasive Mammal Exclusion Restore an Ecosystem Function Mediated by Invertebrates? [PDF]
Ecol EvolExcluding invasive mammals is key to protecting native biodiversity, but it is unclear if their removal also restores ecosystem functions, especially those provided by invertebrates, such as decomposition, pollination and herbivory. Fenced ecosanctuaries on mainland New Zealand, which exclude most introduced mammals except mice, offer a unique ...

Gaps and Data Ambiguities in DNA Reference Libraries: A Limiting Factor for Molecular-Based Biodiversity Assessments Using Annelids as a Case Study. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRegional DNA reference libraries are crucial for molecular biodiversity assessments, yet they remain incomplete, limiting their effectiveness. Using annelids from the Arabian Peninsula as a case study, we identified considerable gaps in species coverage and minimal representation in public databases.

The first earthworm records from Batanta Island, West Papua, Indonesia (Megadrili: Acanthodrilidae, Megascolecidae) [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2019 Identification of a small but valuable earthworm material collected on Batanta and the neighbouring small Birie Island in 2014 and 2019 resulted in recording five species. The only acanthodrilid species in the sample, Dichogaster annae (Horst, 1893), is

Multiple environmental controls explain global patterns in soil animal communities [PDF]
, 2020 Soil animals play important roles in ecosystem functioning and stability, but the environmental controls on their communities are not fully understood. In this study, we compiled a dataset of soil animal communities for which the abundance and body mass ...
