Fungal Energy Channelling Sustains Soil Animal Communities Across Forest Types and Regions. [PDF]
Ecol LettWe developed a novel framework combining stable isotope analysis of essential amino acids and energy fluxes to quantify basal resource contributions and trophic positions of meso‐ and macrofauna detritivores (Collembola, Oribatida, Diplopoda, Isopoda, Lumbricidae) and predators (Mesostigmata, Chilopoda) in 48 forest sites of different management ...

Comparison of Morphological and DNA-Based Identification Methods to Assess Earthworm (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) Diversity at 25 Permanent Soil Monitoring Sites in Germany. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe present contribution should contribute to solving the problem of the time‐consuming and expensive identification of soil invertebrates in the standardised survey of soil organisms. Earthworms and soil were sampled at 25 sites; the animals were identified morphologically and by community DNA (comDNA) and environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, and ...

Predominantly Terrestrial Foraging and Reproductive Gains From a High Trophic Level Diet in Roof-Nesting Herring Gulls (<i>Larus argentatus</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe used stable isotope analysis to investigate the association between foraging choices and reproductive success in roof‐nesting herring gulls. Surprisingly, δ13C values indicated predominantly terrestrial foraging, while fledging success increased with elevated δ15N, indicating that mothers feeding at higher trophic levels produced higher quality eggs

Gaps and Data Ambiguities in DNA Reference Libraries: A Limiting Factor for Molecular-Based Biodiversity Assessments Using Annelids as a Case Study. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRegional DNA reference libraries are crucial for molecular biodiversity assessments, yet they remain incomplete, limiting their effectiveness. Using annelids from the Arabian Peninsula as a case study, we identified considerable gaps in species coverage and minimal representation in public databases.
