Plant functional traits affect invertebrate predator diversity via bottom‐up effects in a deadwood‐based food web

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 128-139, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bottom‐up effects play a critical role in shaping community structure and trophic interactions within detritus‐based food webs. Coarse deadwood supports high biodiversity and contributes to detrital food webs during its decomposition process.

Translocation of arthropods with Sphagnum biomass during the establishment of a Sphagnum cultivation site

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 842-849, September 2025.
We investigated the accidental translocation of arthropods with donor material during the establishment of a Sphagnum cultivation site. Although arthropods from 11 different orders were identified in the donor material, only Araneae, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera were found in significant numbers at the recipient site.

Habitat characteristics and nest of the ladybird spider, Eresus kollari (Araneae: Eresidae) in South Korea

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Eresus kollari is typically found in dry grasslands and stony steppes; however, in South Korea, it has been primarily found in the humid environments of cemeteries. These spiders have highly localized habitats, and their burrowing and nest‐building habits make them difficult to find and observe in the field.

Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion affects millipedes and symphylans more than centipedes in an urban meadow

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 260-274, March 2025.
Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion had taxon‐dependent effects on myriapods (Arthropoda: Myriapoda) in a protected urban meadow in Budapest, Hungary. Primary consumers such as millipedes and symphylans seemed to be more affected by the invasion than predators. Centipede assemblages were only affected by soil moisture and not by invasion.

The Siberian centipede species Lithobius proximus Sseliwanoff, 1878 (Chilopoda, Lithobiomorpha): a new member of the Polish fauna [PDF]

open access: yesZooKeys, 2019
The centipede Lithobius proximus Sseliwanoff, 1878 is presented for the first time as a new member of the Polish fauna. This species, originally characterized as a widespread Siberian boreal species, seems to possess high plasticity with regards to ...

Optimizing eDNA Metabarcoding Techniques for Assessing Arthropod Communities in Tree‐Related Microhabitats

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–February 2025.
This study highlights the significance of using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to study forest arthropods associated with tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs) and deadwood. We find that our tree surface sampling effectively captured ecologically significant arthropods associated with TreMs, exhibiting overlap with other deadwood sediment samples ...
