Linking agricultural diversification practices, soil arthropod communities and soil health
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1952-1963, September 2023., 2023 Soil arthropods respond to agricultural diversification and can be used as bioindicators to assess the effects of diversification on soil health. Below‐ground arthropod communities are structured by crop type, suggesting that planting specific crops may promote soil arthropods and their services. We showed that incorporating winter pea and forage crops

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

A molecular‐based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 803-822, February 2022., 2022 Abstract To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new ...

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2021., 2021 Abstract Dispersal of ground‐dwelling arthropods is understudied in forest ecosystems, which hinders understanding of effects of disturbances on population dynamics. The objective of the study was to quantify movement of ground‐dwelling arthropods in response to a factorial combination of canopy gap formation via girdling and understory vegetation ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 17, Page 12025-12034, September 2021., 2021 In this study, we present results of a study examining the effects of a surface sterilization treatment of invertebrate consumers prior to diet DNA metabarcoding on various metrics of diet. We find that no measures of diet (detection, abundance, richness, or composition) are altered by surface sterilization treatments, suggesting a validation of the ...
