Distribution pattern and driving factors of mite communities in karst cave ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
Mites are abundant invertebrates in underground ecosystems, influenced by resource and environmental diversity, but the diversity of cave mites remains unclear. Through a survey of soil mites in three typical areas of light intensity in caves and their adjacent environments outside the caves, we found that although there are significant differences in ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals temporal dynamics but functional stability of arthropod communities in cattle dung

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 8, Page 1003-1021, August 2024.
The study shows temporal dynamics of invertebrate succession in cattle dung by a multi‐taxon approach. Functional redundancy was found within groups of beetles and flies important for dung decomposition, suggesting functional stability and resilience in the system.

Marine sediment infauna‐based environmental assessment using metabarcoding identifies potential impact indicator species

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 3, May–June 2024.
Intertidal infaunal community data are obtained via: (1) morphological identification of macroinvertebrates from sediment cores, (2) cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA metabarcoding of the same pooled macroinvertebrate specimens, and (3) 18S ribosomal RNA (18S) DNA metabarcoding of benthic meiofauna from small volume sediment surface scrapes.

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Kenya

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the probability of entry of pests (likelihood of pest freedom at entry), including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Kenya. The relevance of any pest for
