Complex landscapes, complex diets: DNA metabarcoding reveals lady beetle prey richness increases with landcover diversity

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Understanding the capacity of mobile organisms such as insects to utilize resources across different patches in a landscape can reveal strategies for their conservation. Past research suggests that higher levels of non‐crop habitat or landcover diversity in agricultural regions typically benefit generalist predators who can fortify their diets
