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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

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

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.

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

open access: yesEuropean 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

Arthropod facilitation mediated by abandoned dead domatia

open access: yesEcosphere, 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.
