Eriophyoid mites (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea) from the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean): new reports and a preliminary check-list [PDF]

, 2008
In the 20th Century, about 20 species of eriophyoids were listed for the Maltese Islands but these reports were entirely based on plant gall surveys.

eDNA metabarcoding of avocado flowers: ‘Hass’ it got potential to survey arthropods in food production systems?

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 1540-1555, October 2023., 2023
Abstract In the face of global biodiversity declines, surveys of beneficial and antagonistic arthropod diversity as well as the ecological services that they provide are increasingly important in both natural and agro‐ecosystems. Conventional survey methods used to monitor these communities often require extensive taxonomic expertise and are time ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding from flowers reveals arthropod pollinators, plant pests, parasites, and potential predator–prey interactions while revealing more arthropod diversity than camera traps

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 551-569, May 2023., 2023
We deployed camera traps to document arthropod activity on specific flowers, sampled eDNA from those same flowers, then performed a metabarcoding analysis that targets a partial fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) to determine all arthropod eDNA present.

Enhanced top‐down control of herbivore population growth on plants with impaired defences

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 2859-2872, November 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivore densities can be regulated by bottom‐up and top‐down forces such as plant defences and natural enemies, respectively. These forces can interact with each other to increase plant protection against herbivores; however, how much complementarity exists between ...
