Establishing DNA-Based Strategies for Soil Biodiversity Assessment: Insights From Carabid Beetles. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
DNA metabarcoding revolutionizes soil biodiversity assessments by offering unparalleled taxonomic resolution and efficiency compared to traditional methods. Our study shows that the common decontamination step is unnecessary, streamlining workflows without compromising accuracy.

Seasonal changes of stable isotope signals in the primary feathers of plains sharp‐tailed grouse

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 47, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023
Stable isotopes from feathers were used to estimate diet in plains sharp‐tailed grouse during the summer. Grasshoppers (Acrididae) are likely the main contributors of proteinaceous nutrients used for feather synthesis in this species. Abstract Stable isotopes of a consumer organism can be used to estimate the proportional utilization of food items that

Aliens in caves: the global dimension of biological invasions in subterranean ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 849-867, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Alien species are a significant threat to natural ecosystems and human economies. Despite global efforts to address this challenge, the documented number of alien species is rapidly increasing worldwide. However, the magnitude of the impact of alien species may vary significantly across habitats.

Contrasting seasonal patterns in diet and dung‐associated invertebrates of feral cattle and horses in a rewilding area

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 2071-2091, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Trophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self‐regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. However, empirical evidence for the effects of megafauna introductions on the abundance and richness of other organisms such as ...

Field investigation‐ and dietary metabarcoding‐based screening of arthropods that prey on primary tea pests

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
(1) Coleosoma blandum (Araneae, Theridiidae) was the most abundant species in the studied tea plantation and accounted for 34.80% of the total individual number of predatory arthropods; (2) C. blandum appeared to co‐occur in the tea canopy with three main tea pest species (A. spiniferus, Em. onukii and Ec.
