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
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 ...

Abstract The technological ability to characterize genetic variation at a genome‐wide scale provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the genetic underpinnings and evolutionary mechanisms that promote and sustain biodiversity. The transition from short‐ to long‐read sequencing is particularly promising and allows a more holistic view on any ...

Diversity, ecology, distribution and biogeography of Diplura
Diplura is the sister group to insects. The order is divided into 10 families, which include 1009 species in 141 genera, with a high proportion of monotypic genera. Diplura depends on high humidity and moderate temperatures, are presumably very sensitive to anthropogenic pressures and climate change, and a suitable model for ecophysiological studies ...

Assessing climatic and intrinsic factors that drive arthropod diversity in bird nests
Bird nests are specialized structures that act as microrefuge and a source of food for arthropods. Nest arthropod richness and composition may vary according to the nest builder, geographical location and nest size.

Exceptional endemicity of Aotearoa New Zealand biota shows how taxa dispersal traits, but not phylogeny, correlate with global species richness. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Species’ with more limited dispersal and consequently less gene flow are more likely to form new spatially segregated species and thus contribute disproportionally to endemic biota and global species richness. Aotearoa New Zealand has exceptional endemicity, with 52% of its 54,000 named species endemic, including 32%, 39% and 68% for ...
