Using eDNA metabarcoding to understand the effect of fire on the diet of small mammals in a woodland ecosystem. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Information regarding diet changes over time after disturbance is lacking for many animals living in habitats prone to disturbances such as fires. DNA metabarcoding is a versatile molecular method that allows simultaneous characterization of many biotas using taxonomically informative barcode regions.

Saproxylic insects and fungi in deciduous forests along a rural-urban gradient. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
We assessed the effects of urbanization, forest size and forest site characteristics on saproxylic insects and fungi using freshly cut beech and oak branches. We found that the degree of urbanization, forest site and branch characteristics can impact the number of individuals of several saproxylic insect groups and the number of fungal OTUs found on ...

The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The study demonstrates that time‐controlled insect sampling using an automated Malaise trap in combination with metabarcoding allows for the observation and documentation of taxon‐specific activity patterns. These recorded activity patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying ecological processes, including parasitoid–host relationships ...

Insectivorous bats selectively source moths and eat mostly pest insects on dryland and irrigated cotton farms. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2020
Insectivorous bats consumed consistent proportions of Lepidoptera (frequency and abundance) over the cotton‐growing season, despite a pronounced temporal shift in the composition of available arthropod prey orders in cotton crops. Abstract Insectivorous bats are efficient predators of pest arthropods in agroecosystems.

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of the Australian scribbly gum moth Ogmograptis (Lepidoptera: Bucculatricidae) and an examination of deep‐level relationships within Lepidoptera

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 449-463, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

Monitoring the birds and the bees: Environmental DNA metabarcoding of flowers detects plant–animal interactions

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 488-502, May 2023., 2023
Pollinating species are experiencing declines globally making effective pollinator monitoring methods more important than ever before. Environmental DNA from flowers detects potential insect, bird, and mammal pollinators providing community‐level descriptions for a wide range of flowering plant species.
