Fine‐Scale Ecological Biomonitoring in a Large, Complex Agriculturally Impacted Watershed via eDNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA‐based approaches utilizing high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) (e.g., DNA metabarcoding) have revolutionized ecological biomonitoring by providing higher sample throughput, greater reproducibility, and better cost‐benefits compared to traditional morphology‐based bioassessment studies.

More Is Not Always Better: Selective Trait Filtering Governs Assembly Under Emerging Flow Intermittency

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study examined how increasing flow intermittency affects macroinvertebrate community organisation in newly drying headwater streams. Results showed that drying selectively filters species and trait states, with resistance‐ and resilience‐related survival strategies responding differently to increasing intermittency.

A New Fishfly Species (Megaloptera: Corydalidae: Neohermes Banks) Discovered from North America by a Systematic Revision, with Phylogenetic and Biogeographic Implications.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The taxonomy of Megaloptera from the Nearctic region is fairly well known and their faunal diversity has been largely surveyed, even in relatively remote regions.

Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 460-465, March 2026.
The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.

A Regional DNA Barcode Library for Northern Rocky Mountain Arthropods to Support Biodiversity and Molecular Ecological Research

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

Influence of Fluvial Structure on Benthic Macroinvertebrates in a Restored Meandering River, Geul Basin, Netherlands

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT Benthic macroinvertebrates are indicators of water quality and riparian ecosystem health. Their abundance and distribution in streams are associated with river basin environmental factors, including stream biotic and abiotic fluvial processes. We examined benthic macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance in relation to large wood (LW) and pool‐

Quantitative Metabarcoding Reveals the Effects of Ecological Factors and Invasive Species on Functional Diversity of Freshwater Insects

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are the most biodiverse freshwater animals. DNA metabarcoding data are increasingly used to assess variation in insect communities, but they are rarely integrated with information on the abundance or biomass of different taxa that can provide key insights into their functional responses.

Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S364-S376, December 2025.
Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...
