Trust your guts? The effect of gut section on diet composition and impact of Mus musculus on islands using metabarcoding. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 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.

We know very little about pollination in the Platanthera Rich (Orchidaceae: Orchidoideae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This review of Platanthera pollination ecology shows that there are a number of orchid species in the group without pollinator information. Considerable knowledge gaps were identified even for those species where pollinator information has been reported, and these gaps impact our ability to appropriately manage orchid and pollinator populations, which ...

High-resolution multi-marker DNA metabarcoding reveals sexual dietary differentiation in a bird with minor dimorphism. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2020
We found that males and females of Black wheatears are eating different prey, with males showing a higher prey diversity and females preying more often on ants. These patterns would be undetected with techniques showing lower taxonomic resolution, thus highlighting the potential of metabarcoding in revealing novel ecological patterns. Abstract Although

Unlocking the potential of historical abundance datasets to study biomass change in flying insects. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2020
Assessment of trends in insect biomass is hampered by a lack of data. To address this, we developed a method to estimate the biomass of historical samples of moths, where abundance and species identity have been recorded. Estimates made using this method explain >85% of total variation in sample biomass, allowing biomass to be predicted to an ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium pratense

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 12, Page 2750-2780, December 2023., 2023
Geranium pratense is a widespread plant in Great Britain but is scarce in Ireland. It is primarily a lowland species where it is characteristic of dry or moist neutral grasslands, especially on ungrazed road verges and the margins of watercourses. The long‐term trend in its British and Irish distribution between 1930 and 2019 is classified as stable ...

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of the Australian scribbly gum moth Ogmograptis (Lepidoptera: Bucculatricidae) and an examination of deep‐level relationships within Lepidoptera

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 449-463, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

Prioritising environmental invasive weeds of European concern for classical biological control: A reanalysis

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

Birds and bats enhance cacao yield despite suppressing arthropod mesopredation

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 5, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Bird‐ and bat‐mediated biocontrol benefits the productivity of tropical commodity crops such as cacao, but the ecological interactions driving these ecosystem services remain poorly understood. Whereas birds and bats prey on herbivorous arthropods, they may also prey on arthropod mesopredators such as ants, with poorly understood consequences ...

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.
