Biodiversity patterns diverge along geographic temperature gradients

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 603-617, February 2023., 2023
Integrating historical lake sampling from a series of adjacent mountain ranges in western North America (a) we assessed variation across multiple dimensions of zooplankton biodiversity both within, and between, elevational and latitudinal gradients (b).

Environmental DNA (eDNA) detects temporal and habitat effects on community composition and endangered species in ephemeral ecosystems: A case study in vernal pools

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 85-101, January 2023., 2023
Vernal pools are temporary wetlands that can form during a rainy season, often in Mediterranean climates, and serve as ideal testing grounds to understand species detection using eDNA and how biological communities may shift across time and spatial and environmental heterogeneity.

Use of marine vs. freshwater proteins for egg‐laying and incubation by sea ducks breeding in Arctic tundra

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Understanding dietary nutrient sources is fundamental to conserving sensitive species, especially as climate change alters food web dynamics. Migratory species that depend on both marine and terrestrial habitats face unique challenges, as the locations and quality of resources in the two realms may respond quite differently to environmental ...

A molecular‐based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 803-822, February 2022., 2022
Abstract To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new ...

Screwed up: Spirality of segments and other iterated structures suggest an underlying principle of seriality in bilaterians

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 282, Issue 6, Page 833-846, June 2021., 2021
Spiral segmentation or helicomery was first described in annelid and arthropod body segments. However, corresponding patterns occur in arthropod appendages and other bilaterians with serially arranged body parts, such as tapeworms, nematodes, vertebrates, and probably chitons.

Price premiums for wildlife‐friendly rice: Insights from Japanese retail data

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 3, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Integrating the benefits associated with biodiversity into market mechanisms can play an important role in conservation practice. Food labeling is a widely used measure that highlights biodiversity conservation benefits to the market. However, few studies have explored the effects of labels on staple agricultural products that are associated ...

Notostraca from the Netherlands Antilles with notes on the Segmentation of the Group

open access: yes, 1960
A collection of 79 specimens of Notostraca from the islands of Bonaire, Curaçao, and Aruba was kindly handed over to me for examination by Dr. P. WAGENAAR HUMMELINCK, Utrecht, to whom my thanks are due for giving me this opportunity of seeing some interesting material. All the specimens concerned belong to Triops longicaudatus (LeConte) — usually known

First Record of Eurasian Spoonbills Platalea leucorodia feeding on Branchiopoda in a temporary wetland

open access: yesAvocetta, 2020
The diet of the Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia is poorly documented with only the most common prey groups known, namely small fishes, amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans, molluscs, worms, leeches and plant material.

A new molecular diagnostic tool for surveying and monitoring Triops cancriformis populations [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
The tadpole shrimp, Triops cancriformis, is a freshwater crustacean listed as endangered in the UK and Europe living in ephemeral pools. Populations are threatened by habitat destruction due to land development for agriculture and increased urbanisation.
