Pollinator-dependence and specialization in three sunbird-pollinated, fire-stimulated flowering species. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Through field observations and experimental verification, we found that three bird‐pollinated plant species with fire‐stimulated flowering specialize in, and heavily depend on, sunbirds for pollination and reproduction. Abstract Fires dramatically reduce both floral resources and pollinator abundance, potentially compromising flowering plant ...

Robot-Aided Measurement of Insect Diversity on Vegetation Using Environmental DNA. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe developed a novel method combining drone‐based sampling and environmental DNA (eDNA) with Oxford Nanopore sequencing to monitor insect biodiversity on vegetation. Using a DJI Matrice 3 drone, we collected eDNA samples from grassland, shrub and forest habitats in Switzerland, detecting 64 insect taxa and revealing habitat‐specific differences in ...

Linking agricultural diversification practices, soil arthropod communities and soil health
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1952-1963, September 2023., 2023 Soil arthropods respond to agricultural diversification and can be used as bioindicators to assess the effects of diversification on soil health. Below‐ground arthropod communities are structured by crop type, suggesting that planting specific crops may promote soil arthropods and their services. We showed that incorporating winter pea and forage crops
