Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.We compared the community structure of Aculeata bees and wasps in natural deciduous broadleaved forests and two coniferous plantations (Cryptomeria japonica, “Sugi” and Chamaecyparis obtusa, “Hinoki”) in southern Kyushu, Japan. Compared with natural forests, the dependence of Aculeata communities on the detritus‐based food chain increased in both ...

Habitat‐Dependent Effects of Canopy Cover on Insect Predation in a Tropical Dry Forest Landscape
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.Our results reveal that arthropods, particularly chewing arthropods, were the dominant predators, and their activity was strongly influenced by both habitat type and canopy cover. Predation probability increased with canopy cover in forest plots but decreased in silvo‐pastures, highlighting an important interaction between vegetation structure and ...

Benchmarking metabarcode sequence denoisers for improved invertebrate community diversity estimates
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 15-32, January 2026.Abstract DNA metabarcoding is fast becoming a method of choice for the inventory and monitoring of community‐level arthropod biodiversity, with growing interest in the recovery of haplotype‐level variation within species from metabarcoding reads. Denoising tools have been established as the standard for metabarcode processing, with the promise to ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 61-73, January 2026.Apple trees provisioned with five earwigs and a refuge made a small but not significant contribution to woolly apple aphid control. ABSTRACT Woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), is a damaging pest of apple (Malus domestica F.) found in most regions of the world where apples grow.
