First Taxonomically Curated DNA Barcode Reference Library for Polish Myriapods Fills an Important Knowledge Gap for Soil Invertebrates in Central Europe, Part I: Millipedes (Myriapoda: Diplopoda)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
DNA barcoding enabled the creation of the first large, taxonomically verified barcode library for Polish millipedes, covering 981 individuals and 58 species (62% of the national fauna), with 468 COI sequences. The study reveals potential cryptic diversity, shifts in the Polish diplopod fauna and documents Melogona broelemanni as a species newly ...

Developing a Fecal DNA Method With Blocking Primers to Determine Red Knots' (Calidris canutus) Diets Noninvasively

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The blocking primer suppressed Red Knot DNA while improving detection of other prey taxa. We detected horseshoe crab in the Fall fecal samples, suggesting their use goes beyond the spring migration period of the Red Knots. ABSTRACT Understanding the diets of migratory shorebirds such as the Red Knot (Calidris canutus) is essential for evaluating ...

The Further You Are, the Closer You Get: Environmental Similarity Connects Aquatic Invertebrate Communities Across the Terrestrial Landscape in a Large River Network

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ecological connectivity in freshwater ecosystems can be structured by river network, the terrestrial geography, and environmental conditions. In the Lower Colorado River Basin, aquatic invertebrate communities are influenced by all three dynamics, and environmental heterogeneity is the strongest observed driver of community composition.

Biomonitoring 3.0: Beyond Taxa Lists to Evidence‐Tiered Monitoring of Ecosystem Dynamics and Interactions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Biomonitoring has scaled rapidly with high‐throughput sequencing, but most programs still culminate in taxa lists that are weakly linked to the interaction dynamics driving ecosystem change. Here we propose Biomonitoring 3.0 as interaction‐ready, time‐resolved monitoring that layers eDNA inventories with time‐structured sampling, interaction‐explicit ...

Host‐Associated Differentiation of Gut Microbiota Among Four Crane Species Wintering in Rice Paddies Around Poyang Lake

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In this study, we used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to characterize the fecal microbiota of four crane species wintering in agricultural rice paddies at Poyang Lake, China: Siberian crane (Leucogeranus leucogeranus), hooded crane (Grus monacha), white‐naped crane (Grus vipio), and common crane (Grus grus).
