Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Molecular identification of insect food webs can accurately reveal complex trophic interactions and serve as a foundation for understanding ecosystem functioning and advancing biodiversity conservation. This process typically involves DNA library construction, high‐throughput sequencing and subsequent steps, including data assembly, annotation,

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Building DNA barcode databases for plants has historically been ad hoc, and often with a relatively narrow taxonomic focus. To realize the full potential of DNA barcoding for plants, and particularly its application to metabarcoding for mixed-species ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.The oak processionary moth is an invasive pest in the United Kingdom that threatens biodiversity and public health, with rising control costs highlighting the need for sustainable management alternatives Conservation biocontrol using the parasitoid fly Carcelia iliaca is promising but key biological data gaps hinder evidence‐based policy development. A

Assessing the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We investigated the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an emerging pest species in Europe, by combining molecular and ecological approaches. The winter host plant was confirmed as apricot by both methods.

Refining a molecular tool kit to capture tropicalization in Mediterranean marine protected areas
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We assess complementarity and trade‐offs between visual census and eDNA metabarcoding for monitoring fish community changes in MPAs. Abstract Tropicalization, the process by which tropical species expand their ranges poleward due to global ocean warming, is a prominent threat to Mediterranean marine ecosystems, challenging their effective management ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.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.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.
