A Novel Invertebrate Predator on an Oceanic Island: Impacts and Invasion Dynamics of Kontikia andersoni on Macquarie Island

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study examines the invasion dynamics of the predatory invertebrate flatworm Kontikia andersoni, and its impacts on the invertebrate communities of sub‐Antarctic Macquarie Island. Our findings indicate that at higher elevations where K. andersoni is present there are significant reductions in invertebrate richness.

Evaluating eDNA Metabarcoding Techniques for Pollinator Community Assessment in a Field and Controlled Experiment

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
This study evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on flowers to detect pollinator species and compares it with traditional visual sampling methods. Findings show that while eDNA complements conventional techniques in monitoring pollinators, it cannot fully replace them, highlighting the need for integrated approaches.

Flower‐Derived Environmental DNA Reveals Community Diversity, Species Abundances and Ecological Interactions in Bee Pollinators

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
We show that communities of wild bees can be accurately characterized by flower‐derived environmental DNA. eDNA based monitoring recovers relative abundances of individual bee species and provides information on the ecological specificity of different bees on individual plants.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.
