Looking to the past to inform the future: What eDNA from herbarium specimens can tell us about plant-animal interactions. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise The importance of natural history collections in modern ecological and genetic research cannot be overstated. Herbarium specimens provide historical information that can be used to investigate community ecology, phenology, and population genetics. In this study, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding and next‐generation sequencing were

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 12, Page 922-933, December 2023., 2023 The psyllid Aphalara itadori (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is a biocontrol agent against invasive knotweed (Polygonaceae). A newly collected line of the insect causes leaf‐roll galling in Reynoutria bohemica, one of the three invasive knotweed species. This galling may aid agent establishment by alleviating known nymphal mortality factors.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 1540-1555, October 2023., 2023 Abstract In the face of global biodiversity declines, surveys of beneficial and antagonistic arthropod diversity as well as the ecological services that they provide are increasingly important in both natural and agro‐ecosystems. Conventional survey methods used to monitor these communities often require extensive taxonomic expertise and are time ...

Weed Research, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 218-231, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Invasive alien plant species (IAPs) are causing significant negative impacts on agricultural production, threatened native species and ecosystems, the services they provide and public health thereby affecting European biodiversity and its economy. IAPs invade all types of natural and managed habitat and their impacts, through increased numbers

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Knautia arvensis
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 8, Page 1970-1992, August 2022., 2022 Field Scabious is a widespread, native perennial of grasslands and meadows found throughout much of Europe. It is a popular plant frequently used as part of pollinator seed mixes, as the nectariferous blue‐lilac flowers support a range of generalist and specialist pollinators.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.

Thrips domiciles protect larvae from desiccation in an arid environment [PDF]
, 2014 Desiccation is a particular risk for small animals in arid environments. In response, many organisms “construct niches,” favorable microenvironments where they spend part or all of their life cycle. Some maintain such environments for their offspring via

Survey of Predators Associated With European Red Mite (\u3ci\u3ePanonychus Ulmi\u3c/i\u3e; Acari: Tetranychidae) in Ohio Apple Orchards [PDF]
, 2017 A survey was conducted to identify the types and relative abundance of predatory arthropods associated with Panonychus ulmi in 21 Ohio apple orchards. Mite populations were sampled by leaf brushing, and insects and spiders were sampled by limb jarring. A
