Tropical Bee Assemblage Diversity Decreases With Elevation While Body Size Increases

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Photos of bee specimens collected in the Colombian Andes across a nearly 3000 m elevational cline. They are arranged to illustrate both the decline in richness with elevation and the increase in community average body size with elevation. ABSTRACT Elevation gradients are powerful drivers of changes in species composition, richness, and functional ...

Prey DNA Detection in Lycosid Spiders Is Primarily Influenced by Time Since Feeding and Primer Choice

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 789-794, July 2026.
Gut content analysis using DNA metabarcoding has improved understanding of predator–prey interactions involving spiders. We tested how starvation before feeding, time since feeding, spider size, and the presence of egg sacs or spiderlings affect prey DNA detection in Lycosidae.
