UV‐Induced Fluorescence in the Balance: Mate Choice and Predation Risk in the Female Ornamented Jumping Spiders

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential adaptive advantages of female‐specific UV‐induced fluorescence in male mate‐choice and predation risk, as fitness costs, using two species of ornate jumping spiders Phintella vittata and Ph. bifurcilinea. Our findings provide empirical evidence of a trade‐off: While fluorescence enhances male mate preference, it ...

WIMANET: The Power of a Network in Wildlife Malaria Research

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The Wildlife Malaria Network (WIMANET) is an EU‐COST funded global network of researchers and stakeholders interested in wildlife malaria and related haemosporidian parasites. In this paper, we review WIMANET's activities to date. We hope this encourages new members to join the network and motivates both new and existing members to participate in its ...

Navigating Methodological Trade‐Offs in eDNA Metabarcoding Biodiversity Monitoring: Insights From a Mediterranean Watershed

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding technologies promise significant advances in biodiversity monitoring, yet their application requires extensive optimisation and standardisation. Recent research demonstrated that increased sampling and analytical efforts are needed to improve biodiversity estimates, though fully optimising study designs ...
