Nineteen Years Later: Long‐Term Beetle and Wētā Community Responses to Mammal Eradication at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari (SMM), New Zealand's largest pest‐fenced ecosanctuary, provides a unique opportunity to study invertebrate responses to mammal eradication. Beetles and wētā were monitored within the mouse‐free southern exclosure and in adjacent comparable forests on the mountain, within the predator‐proof fence (in 2004/05, then 2006 ...

Rapid construction of insect–plant interaction networks via multiplexed long‐fragment DNA metabarcoding and NGS

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1896-1909, June 2026.
Abstract Molecular identification of insect food webs can accurately reveal complex trophic interactions and serve as a foundation for understanding ecosystem functioning and advancing biodiversity conservation. This process typically involves DNA library construction, high‐throughput sequencing and subsequent steps, including data assembly, annotation,
