Accuracy of occurrence and abundance estimates from insect metabarcoding
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract DNA metabarcoding—high‐throughput sequencing of barcode regions from bulk samples—has become a key tool for insect biodiversity assessment. Yet, how methodological choices affect the accuracy of metabarcoding data remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we ask: (1) How does the lysis method (non‐destructive lysis vs.

Yellowjacket (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) Repellency by Natural Products of Paper Wasps and Avon's Skin-so-Soft© [PDF]
, 1993 Methyl palmitate and butyl palmitate, ant repellents first isolated from the sternal glands of paper wasps, were tested with a methyl ester homolog, methyl myristate, and Avon's Skin-So-Soft Bath Oil© against foraging German yellowjackets.

New Results From the Pre‐Pottery Neolithic Site of Al Uyaynah, Tabuk, in Northwestern Saudi Arabia
Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Al Uyaynah is a low sandstone mound on an alluvial plain, long known for its extensive surface remains of stone‐built circular and rectangular structures. Following test excavations in 2012, more detailed excavation was undertaken in 2016 within one of the largest rectangular stone structures.

Introduction to the Paper and Potter Wasps of Eastern Kentucky [PDF]
Wasps are a possible surrogate to measure biodiversity of an ecosystem because they can be extremely diverse, most requiring a very specific niche. Many factors such as surrounding vegetation, potential prey availability, and potential hosts impact ...

Reflections on Traceability for Visualization Research
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Decades of advocacy for reproducibility and replication have advanced open, transparent practices in the sciences. However, traditional notions of reproducibility fit poorly with design‐oriented visualization research, where insights emerge through subjective, situated, and iterative work.

Little effect of seasonal constraints on population genetic structure in eusocial paper wasps [PDF]
, 2012 Climate has long been suggested to affect population genetic structures of eusocial insect societies. For instance, Hamilton [Journal of Theoretical Biology 7 (1964) 17] discusses whether temperate and tropical eusocial insects may show differences in ...

Thinking Inside the Box: Considerations for Putting Data Physicalization Workshops in a Box
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Visualization researchers utilize workshops both for applied research and to engage different populations with visualization‐based activities. While there are many benefits to running visualization workshops, their utility and impact rely on the presence of a researcher who has deep knowledge about visualization theory and practice.
