A sampling strategy for genome sequencing the British terrestrial arthropod fauna

open access: yesWellcome Open Research, 2023
The Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) project aims to sequence and assemble high-quality genomes from all eukaryote species in Britain and Ireland, with the first phase of the project concentrating on family-level coverage plus species of particular ecological,

Interactions between microplastics and soil fauna: A critical review

open access: yesCritical reviews in environmental science and technology, 2021
Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants that cause diverse impacts on soil ecosystems. As integral members of soil food webs, soil fauna exert key ecological functions such as litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and energy flow.

A review of contemporary patterns of endemism for shallow water reef fauna in the Red Sea

open access: yes, 2016
The Red Sea is characterised by a unique fauna and historical periods of desiccation, hypersalinity and intermittent isolation. The origin and contemporary composition of reef‐associated taxa in this region can illuminate biogeographical principles about

Soil fauna: key to new carbon models

open access: yes, 2016
Soil organic matter (SOM) is key to maintaining soil fertility, mitigating climate change, combatting land degradation, and conserving above- and below-ground biodiversity and associated soil processes and ecosystem services.

Fertilizer regime impacts on abundance and diversity of soil fauna across a poplar plantation chronosequence in coastal Eastern China

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Soil fauna are critical for ecosystem function and sensitive to the changes of soil fertility. The effects of fertilization on soil fauna communities, however, remain poorly understood.

Cascading effects of climate extremes on vertebrate fauna through changes to low‐latitude tree flowering and fruiting phenology

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2015
Forest vertebrate fauna provide critical services, such as pollination and seed dispersal, which underpin functional and resilient ecosystems. In turn, many of these fauna are dependent on the flowering phenology of the plant species of such ecosystems ...
