This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...

Tree species diversity increases the temporal stability of multitrophic forest beetle communities
As key members of the terrestrial food webs and vital contributors to wood decomposition, beetles play essential roles in ecosystem services but are experiencing widespread declines under climate change. While protecting and restoring forests with high tree species diversity is widely acknowledged as a nature‐based solution for climate change ...

Tamaño corporal y composición de la fauna ibérica de Scarabaeoidea coprófagos (Insecta, Coleoptera) [PDF]
Body size measurements have been used in a study of the composition of the iberic Scarabaeoidea coprophage fauna. Although the number of iberic species with relatively small body size is much greater, the majority of iberic genera are of a larger average
