Can Widely Used Methods Be Turned Into eDNA Samplers for Ground‐Dwelling Arthropods? Insights From Two Pilot Studies in West European Salt Marshes

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 164-177, February 2026.
This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...

Pollinator communities as indicators of ecological change in developing woodlands

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January/March 2026.
A shift in the pollinator community occurs as planted woodlands develop. Bees respond to local habitat change, while hoverflies respond to the broader landscape. The choice of metrics and sampling methods can shape ecological interpretations. Pollinators, especially bees, are sensitive, policy‐relevant indicators for tracking early biodiversity change ...

A Novel Protistan Trait Database Reveals Functional Redundancy and Complementarity in Terrestrial Protists (Amoebozoa and Rhizaria). [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT The inclusion of functional traits of protists in environmental sequencing surveys, in addition to the traditional taxonomic framework, is essential for a better understanding of their roles and impacts on ecosystem processes. We provide a database of functional traits for a widespread and important clade of protists—the Amoebozoa—based on ...

Turning Waste Into Value: A Design Strategy for Sustainable Deposit‐Refund Systems

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 1532-1548, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The challenge of single‐use plastics (SUPs) and packaging waste has intensified in recent years, with deposit‐refund systems (DRS) emerging as one of the most effective solutions. Although DRS improve recycling rates, their adoption is often hindered by high setup costs and uncertain cost‐effectiveness.

Stand Structure and Type Drive Productivity in Chinese Fir Forests: Comparison of Pure and Mixed Stands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We compared stand productivity and its key drivers across pure and mixed Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) forests in subtropical China. Stand density, dominant diameter, stand age, Gini coefficient, and mean tree height were the main factors affecting productivity, with pure stands showing significantly higher productivity but also greater climate

Marine litter case study dataset

open access: yes
This document is MINKE’s Deliverable 8.2 “Marine litter case study dataset”. The aim of the present deliverable is to provide and describe the marine litter dataset that was selected by the WP8 team as a case study to test different unsupervised clustering methods and to develop a pollution index that can serve to harmonize beach litter abundance and ...
