Swabbing as a Non-Lethal DNA Collection Method for Earthworm Barcoding: Performance and Citizen Science Perspectives. [PDF]
Ecol EvolEarthworm DNA barcoding commonly relies on lethal tissue sampling, which can discourage participation in citizen science projects due to emotional concerns. By comparing swab‐based and tissue‐based DNA collection methods, we show that swab sampling represents a promising, participant‐friendly option for citizen science–based earthworm biodiversity ...

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
