Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Including the juveniles explained a greater amount of the variability of Trombidiformes and Mesostigmata, but had less of an impact for Sarcoptiformes. Including juveniles increased the observed species richness by 6% in comparison to data based on adults only.

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 ...

Linking bacterial diversity to floral identity in the bumble bee pollen basket
Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 669-680, May 2021., 2021 We characterize the bacterial alpha and beta diversity from the bumble bee pollen basket, identify core communities, and characterize their functional role. We found bacterial alpha diversity was positively correlated with floral pollen alpha diversity and bacterial beta diversity was generally weakly correlated with pollen beta diversity.
