Can Widely Used Methods Be Turned Into eDNA Samplers for Ground‐Dwelling Arthropods? Insights From Two Pilot Studies in West European Salt Marshes

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 164-177, February 2026.
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 ...

Cave depth and subterranean connectivity are drivers of intraspecific trait variability in two subterranean congeneric beetles

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 153-164, February 2026.
The abundance of cave beetles increases with depth, with Duvalius hartigi exhibiting maximum densities at greater depths in volcanic systems. Troglomorphic traits become more pronounced with increasing depth exclusively in the alpine species Duvalius carantii.

On two cases of male dimorphism in dwarf spiders (Araneae: Linyphiidae)

open access: yesArachnologische Mitteilungen, 2018
Diplocephalus cristatus (Blackwall, 1833) is confirmed as a dimorphic species, having two morphs:cristatus and foraminifer. This view was first proposed by Georgescu (1969), but not supported in literature. Diplocephalus foraminifer (O. Pickard-Cambridge,

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.
