Assessing Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes Through Drone-Based Environmental DNA Sampling. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We developed a drone‐based environmental DNA (eDNA) swabbing method to assess hexapod diversity in agricultural fields under three management types (conventional, organic, and IP‐Suisse), detecting 75 taxa across 19 families. eDNA replicates showed consistent within‐field results, though no significant differences in diversity were found between ...

Herbivory mediates the response of below-ground food webs to invasive grasses. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This study investigates for the first time experimentally and in the field the interplay between plant invasion and herbivores of different guilds, shedding light on a complex network of below‐ground interactions and providing precious insights to land managers.

On the biodiversity of Apterygota in FR Yugoslavia: Heteromurus uzicensis n. sp. (Collembola, Entomobryidae) from west Serbia [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2002
A new species of the collembolan family Entomobryidae, Heleromums uzicensis n. sp. has been described, illustrated, and diagnostified. This new taxon is endemic to West Serbia and, probably, belongs to relic forms of the Tertiary age.

Microbiota as Potential Functional Traits Facilitating Springtail Activity in Winter. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Microbiota in 10 springtail species were analyzed using phylogenetic comparative methods. Winter‐active species showed higher bacterial diversity, enriched with Wolbachia, Morganellaceae, and Micrococcaceae, while some bacteria exhibited a phylogenetic signal, suggesting evolutionary constraints.

Drought and Nitrogen Addition Modulate Wolf Spider-Associated Responses in a Detrital Food Web Without Detectable Functional Cascades. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Predators are important regulators of grassland biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, but their top‐down effects on detrital food webs under global change remain poorly understood. Using a field mesocosm experiment in a temperate grassland, we show that drought and nitrogen addition independently altered the effects of wolf spiders on soil fauna and ...
