Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.We show that impacts of agriculture on arthropod biodiversity are notably less negative in Europe than in other regions, which we find is driven by a degraded baseline, a selection bias of reference sites, and novel species compositions in agriculture that favour widespread habitat generalists and non‐native species.

Accuracy of occurrence and abundance estimates from insect metabarcoding
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2343-2363, August 2026.Abstract DNA metabarcoding—high‐throughput sequencing of barcode regions from bulk samples—has become a key tool for insect biodiversity assessment. Yet, how methodological choices affect the accuracy of metabarcoding data remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we ask: (1) How does the lysis method (non‐destructive lysis vs.
