Optimizing eDNA Metabarcoding Techniques for Assessing Arthropod Communities in Tree‐Related Microhabitats

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–February 2025.
This study highlights the significance of using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to study forest arthropods associated with tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs) and deadwood. We find that our tree surface sampling effectively captured ecologically significant arthropods associated with TreMs, exhibiting overlap with other deadwood sediment samples ...

Reduced predation and energy flux in soil food webs by introduced tree species: Bottom‐up control of multitrophic biodiversity across size compartments

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 64-76, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The introduction of non‐native tree species has become a global concern and may disrupt native communities and related ecosystem functions. Soil food webs regulate organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling in forests with their feeding activities, but evaluating

Barcode 100K Specimens: In a Single Nanopore Run

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT It is a global priority to better manage the biosphere, but action must be informed by comprehensive data on the abundance and distribution of species. The acquisition of such information is currently constrained by high costs. DNA barcoding can speed the registration of unknown animal species, the most diverse kingdom of eukaryotes, as the ...

Arthropod Food Webs in the Foreland of a Retreating Greenland Glacier: Integrating Molecular Gut Content Analysis With Structural Equation Modelling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
This study investigates the ecological dynamics of arthropod predators across a transect of an Arctic glacier foreland, to understand how climate change impacts predator–prey interactions. By integrating ecological observations with DNA metabarcoding, our research elucidates the role of the key prey species in shaping spider populations in these ...

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Ameroseiid mites (Acari: Ameroseiidae) in some parts of Iran with redescription of Ameroseius lidiae Bregetova

Journal of Crop Protection, 2014
This paper reports some species of Ameroseiidae from various habitats in different parts of Iran. Ameroseius bassolase (Vargass, 2001)has been reported from Iran, but it was a misidentification of Sertitympanum aegyptiacus Nasr & Abow-Awad, 1984 ...
