Establishing DNA‐Based Strategies for Soil Biodiversity Assessment: Insights From Carabid Beetles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
DNA metabarcoding revolutionizes soil biodiversity assessments by offering unparalleled taxonomic resolution and efficiency compared to traditional methods. Our study shows that the common decontamination step is unnecessary, streamlining workflows without compromising accuracy.

Concentración natural de compuestos antimaláricos en artrópodos tropicales (in vitro)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2008
Extractos alcohólicos, hexánicos y diclorometánicos de 751 muestras de artrópodos fueron estudiados por la presencia de actividad antimalárica. En este trabajo se empleó un modelo murino usando el Plasmodium berghei, modelo que es biológicamente similar ...

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

A remarkable case of mosaic parapatry in millipedes

ZooKeys, 2011
The parapatric boundary between Tasmaniosoma compitale Mesibov, 2010 and T. hickmanorum Mesibov, 2010 (Polydesmida: Dalodesmidae) in northwest Tasmania was mapped in preparation for field studies of parapatry and speciation. Both millipede species can be

Body size evolution as a catalyst for diversification of copulation strategies and its spillover effects on genital evolution and phylogenetic divergence in terrestrial arthropods

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 191-207, July 2025.
A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Comparative Diets of Invasive Blue Catfish: Differences Across Rivers and Ontogenetic Stages

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) are an invasive species with expanding populations in freshwater systems, posing significant ecological challenges to native fauna. To assess their potential impacts in diverse aquatic ecosystems, we examined and compared the diets of non‐native Blue Catfish from four rivers in Georgia, USA, two of which drain

Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion affects millipedes and symphylans more than centipedes in an urban meadow

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 260-274, March 2025.
Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) invasion had taxon‐dependent effects on myriapods (Arthropoda: Myriapoda) in a protected urban meadow in Budapest, Hungary. Primary consumers such as millipedes and symphylans seemed to be more affected by the invasion than predators. Centipede assemblages were only affected by soil moisture and not by invasion.

Arthropods are kin: Operationalizing Indigenous data sovereignty to respectfully utilize genomic data from Indigenous lands

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Indigenous peoples have cultivated biodiverse agroecosystems since time immemorial. The rise of metagenomics and high‐throughput sequencing technologies in biodiversity studies has rapidly expanded the scale of data collection from these lands.
