Aliens in caves: the global dimension of biological invasions in subterranean ecosystems
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 849-867, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Alien species are a significant threat to natural ecosystems and human economies. Despite global efforts to address this challenge, the documented number of alien species is rapidly increasing worldwide. However, the magnitude of the impact of alien species may vary significantly across habitats.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1411-1427, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Tropical freshwater invertebrate species are becoming extinct without being described, and effective conservation is hampered by a lack of taxonomic and distribution data. DNA metabarcoding is a promising tool for rapid biodiversity assessments that has never been applied to tropical freshwater invertebrates across large spatial and taxonomic ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 790-807, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Biodiversity is in decline due to human‐induced pressures on ecosystems around the world. To be able to counteract this alarming trend, it is paramount to closely monitor biodiversity at global scales. Because this is practically impossible with traditional methods, the last decade has seen a strong push for new solutions.

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 6, Page 693-770, June 2022., 2022 The ant abdomen is critically understudied, despite its functional, evolutionary, and systematic importance. Using physical dissection, scanning electron microscope, histology, and microcomputed tomography, we provide the first complete treatment of the skeletomusculature, exocrine glands, and other major organs of the abdomen.

The ecological function of insect egg micropyles
Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1113-1123, May 2022., 2022 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Insect egg micropyles are openings through the chorion allowing sperm entry for fertilisation. Micropyles are diverse structures showing remarkable variation in number, spatial arrangement and physical structure across extant insect orders.

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that drive the change of biotic assemblages over space and time is the main quest of community ecology. Assessing the relative importance of dispersal and environmental species selection in a range of organismic sizes and motilities has been a fruitful strategy.

A molecular‐based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 803-822, February 2022., 2022 Abstract To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new ...
