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 ...

Forest disturbance and arthropods: small‐scale canopy and understory disturbances alter movement of mobile arthropods

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 ...

Tentorial mobility in centipedes (Chilopoda) revisited: 3D reconstruction of the mandibulo-tentorial musculature of Geophilomorpha

ZooKeys, 2015
Mandibular mechanisms in Geophilomorpha are revised based on three-dimensional reconstructions of the mandibulo-tentorial complex and its muscular equipment in Dicellophilus carniolensis (Placodesmata) and Hydroschendyla submarina (Adesmata).

Effects of consumer surface sterilization on diet DNA metabarcoding data of terrestrial invertebrates in natural environments and feeding trials

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 ...

Morphology, taxonomy and distribution of Diphyonyx gen. n., a lineage of geophilid centipedes with unusually shaped claws (Chilopoda: Geophilidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
A new genus Diphyonyx is proposed here for a previously unrecognised lineage of geophilid centipedes. It is distinct from other geophilids in its unique combination of morphological characters, including the peculiar shape of the pretarsus of the legs on

An inventory of the foliar, soil, and dung arthropod communities in pastures of the southeastern United States

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 16, Page 10761-10768, August 2021., 2021
We conducted a bioinventory of the foliar, soil, and dung arthropod communities in 10 cattle pastures located in the southeastern United States. In sum, 126,251 specimens were collected, representing 20 orders. Herbivores were the most abundant functional guild found in the foliar community, while predators were most abundant in the soil and dung ...

Seasonal turnover in community composition of stream‐associated macroinvertebrates inferred from freshwater environmental DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 861-876, July 2021., 2021
Macroinvertebrate communities are crucial for biodiversity monitoring and assessment of ecological status in stream ecosystems. Here, we use environmental DNA metabarcoding of filtered water samples collected in both spring and autumn from five streams in Denmark to address seasonal turnover in community composition of stream macroinvertebrates.

Arthropod facilitation mediated by abandoned dead domatia

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021
Abstract In ant–plant mutualistic interactions, plants provide shelter (domatia) and/or food to ants and in exchange, and ants provide protection against herbivores. After plant tissue senescence, ants are expected to abandon dead domatia, leaving these empty spaces available for other arthropods.
