Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6130-6146, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Soils harbour a rich arthropod fauna, but many species are still not formally described (Linnaean shortfall) and the distribution of those already described is poorly understood (Wallacean shortfall). Metabarcoding holds much promise to fill this gap, however, nuclear copies of mitochondrial genes, and other artefacts lead to taxonomic ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 13, Page 3778-3792, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Since Darwin put forward his opposing hypotheses to explain the successful establishment of species in areas outside their native ranges, the preadaptation and competition‐relatedness hypotheses, known as Darwin's naturalization conundrum, numerous studies have sought to understand the relative importance of each.

Early recognition by Ball and Hooker in 1878 of plant back-colonization (boomerang) events from Macaronesia to Africa [PDF]
, 2020 Recent work in island biogeography has shown that back-colonization (‘boomerang’ events) from islands to continents have occurred more frequently than previously understoodWe report possibly the earliest inference of this pattern, by John Ball and Joseph

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 15, Page 4078-4094, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Most of our understanding of island diversity comes from the study of aboveground systems, while the patterns and processes of diversification and community assembly for belowground biotas remain poorly understood. Here, we take advantage of a relatively young and dynamic oceanic island to advance our understanding of ecoevolutionary processes

Hidden island endemic species and their implications for cryptic speciation within soil arthropods
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 1367-1380, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Specialisation to the soil environment is expected to constrain the spatial scale of diversification within animal lineages. In this context, flightless arthropod lineages, adapted to soil environments, but with broad geographical ranges, represent something of an anomaly.

Genomic signatures accompanying the dietary shift to phytophagy in polyphagan beetles. [PDF]
Genome Biol, 2019 The diversity and evolutionary success of beetles (Coleoptera) are proposed to be related to the diversity of plants on which they feed. Indeed, the largest beetle suborder, Polyphaga, mostly includes plant eaters among its approximately 315,000 species.
