Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Horse flies of the species Tabanus nigrovittatus and Tabanus acutus are native to coastal marshlands. Their larvae are apex invertebrate predators, and their development is dependent on the food web in the marsh sediment. Surveillance of T. nigrovittatus after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico showed population crashes

Soil macroinvertebrate communities: A world‐wide assessment
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 7, Page 1261-1276, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Macroinvertebrates comprise a highly diverse set of taxa with great potential as indicators of soil quality. Communities were sampled at 3,694 sites distributed world‐wide. We aimed to analyse the patterns of abundance, composition and network characteristics and their relationships to latitude, mean annual temperature and rainfall, land ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 10, Page 1989-2002, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim High‐throughput pipelines supported by eDNA metabarcoding have been applied in various freshwater ecosystems. Both eDNA in ethanol (EtOH) samples (ES‐eDNA) and in water samples (WS‐eDNA) can provide comprehensive classification lists with good taxonomic resolution and coverage for determining freshwater biodiversity and biomonitoring. But,

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.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 948-963, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Invaders affect native species across multiple trophic levels, influencing the structure and stability of freshwater communities. Based on the ‘trophic position hypothesis’, invaders at the top of the food web are more harmful to native species via direct and indirect effects than trophically analogous native predators are. However, introduced

Wahana-Bio: Jurnal Biologi dan Pembelajarannya, 2023 Earthworms (Haplotaxida: Lumbricina) are bioindicators of soil fertility. Agricultural systems applied to an agricultural area can affect the presence of earthworms there. This study aims to determine the density of earthworms in plantations owned by PT.
