Using surface environmental DNA to assess arthropod biodiversity within a forested ecosystem
Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1652-1666, November 2023., 2023 We collected 40 eDNA samples from tree bark and understory foliage in a New Jersey, USA forest. Metabarcoding with two primer sets revealed over 1000 arthropod MOTUs from which we identified 292 species, 181 families, and 28 orders. Our work provides proof‐of‐concept evidence that surface eDNA surveys of terrestrial arthropod communities are feasible ...

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 531, Issue 14, Page 1482-1508, October 2023., 2023 The central complex is an insect brain area controlling goal‐directed orientation. Comparative analysis of insect species ranging from firebrats to flies reveals two bilateral pairs of serotonin‐immunoreactive neurons innervating the central complex in all neopteran species and two additional pairs of neurons in flies and butterflies.

Variation among arthropod taxa in the amino acid content of exoskeleton and digestible tissue
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Exoskeleton is a ubiquitous component of arthropods, which many consumers cannot digest. Arthropod exoskeleton differs from digestible tissue in amino acid balance and content. Amino acid balance and content also vary considerably among arthropod taxa.

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.
