Species traits may predict extinction risk of Azorean endemic arthropods
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Ground‐dwelling endemic arthropods face a higher extinction risk due to habitat degradation and invasive plants. Canopy species may seem less threatened but still face extinction risks from habitat fragmentation. Body size and trophic group did not predict species threat levels.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The substantial loss of insects we are experiencing today has been highlighted all over the world. There is a growing concern about the global decline of pollinators and its impact on terrestrial and agricultural ecosystems, but the focus of scientists towards bees remains the rule.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The tidal freshwater zone is an aquatic transition zone that links a river to its estuary and provides an important habitat used in the life cycle of resident and migratory fishes. Yet, information on the trophic structure of fishes in this habitat is scarce. To address this gap, we characterize the trophic structure of a fish community in the

Robot‐Aided Measurement of Insect Diversity on Vegetation Using Environmental DNA
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.We developed a novel method combining drone‐based sampling and environmental DNA (eDNA) with Oxford Nanopore sequencing to monitor insect biodiversity on vegetation. Using a DJI Matrice 3 drone, we collected eDNA samples from grassland, shrub and forest habitats in Switzerland, detecting 64 insect taxa and revealing habitat‐specific differences in ...

The impact of climate-induced distributional changes on the validity of biological water quality metrics [PDF]
, 2010 We present data on the distributional changes within an order of macroinvertebrates used in biological water quality monitoring. The British Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) have been shown to be expanding their range northwards and this could ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May/June 2025.We assessed whether we can combine the advantages of both bulk and eDNA metabarcoding, that is, obtaining a local signal and being minimally invasive, to improve local invertebrate detections in streams using water samples. We quantified eDNA release over time after a short incubation in water for single species using qPCR and for bulk samples using ...

Revealing hidden sources of uncertainty in biodiversity trend assessments
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.Idiosyncratic decisions during the biodiversity trend assessment process may limit reproducibility, whilst ‘hidden' uncertainty due to collection bias, taxonomic incompleteness, and variable taxonomic resolution may limit the reliability of reported trends.

The communities of running water in Cumbria [PDF]
, 1976 For conservations of nature to be effective. there must be an understanding of what is present to be conserved. Thus in order to conserve the communites of the Cumbrian rivers, there must first be surveys to determine the spp present and their relative ...

The macroinvertebrate seedbank promotes community persistence in temporary rivers across climate zones [PDF]
, 2013 1. Aquatic macroinvertebrates inhabiting temporary rivers are typically described as having low resistance to riverbed drying. However, little research has examined the ‘seedbank’ within dry riverbed sediments, which comprises aquatic life stages that ...
