Integrating Megabarcoding and Metabarcoding to Unlock Diversity and Distribution Data Shortfalls in Dark Taxa

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Persistent biodiversity data shortfalls undermine our capacity to detect species, map their distributions and characterize their spatial genetic structure, limiting robust biogeographic analyses and the development of effective conservation strategies.

The Response of Mesofauna to Nitrogen Deposition and Reduced Precipitation during Litter Decomposition

, 2023
Soil mesofauna plays an important role in decomposing organic matter, recycling nutrients, and increasing nutrient availability. The effects of nitrogen (N) deposition and reduced precipitation on the litter-dwelling mesofaunal community and how this ...

Global meta-analysis reveals differential effects of climate and litter quality on soil fauna-mediated litter decomposition across size classes

Geoderma
Litter decomposition is significantly influenced by soil fauna, litter quality, and climate. Effects of soil fauna on litter decomposition are largely dependent on the size classes of the fauna.

Spinosad‐based insecticide is an effective control method for the potato soil pests Agriotes sp. and Melolontha sp.

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) growers who would like to biologically control major soil pests of potato face an increasing challenge. Two pest species have a major impact on yield quality: white grubs (Melolontha sp.; Eschscholtz, 1829) and wireworms (Agriotes sp.; Fabricius, 1775). Farmers who want to grow potatoes in a sustainable fashion to

The threat of a major tree pathogen to forest soil mesofauna food webs and ecosystem functioning

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Tree pathogens threaten the survival of many forest foundation tree species worldwide. However, there is limited knowledge of how dieback of foundation tree species may threaten other components of forest ecosystems, such as soil biodiversity and ...
