Using Flower eDNA Metabarcoding to Identify the Effects of Forest Structure and Microclimate on Flower‐Visiting Arthropods

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Flower eDNA reveals diverse and highly specific arthropod communities in a forest. Using sentinel plants across a gradient of forest density and tree species composition, we show that forest structure features (particularly those related to light availability) drive flower‐visiting arthropod richness.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Inventarisatie van muggenlarven in de sierteelt onder glas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Verschillende soorten muggenlarven kunnen een plaag vormen in de sierteelt. Ze leven op of in de bodem en in rottende plantenresten. Daar voeden ze zich voornamelijk met dood organisch materiaal en de schimmels die daarop groeien.

Countdown to 2010: Can we assess Ireland’s insect species diversity and loss? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
peer-reviewedThe insects are the most diverse organisms on this planet and play an essential role in ecosystem functioning, yet we know very little about them.

Past aridity and dust drove biodiversity crises and altered pollination in the ancient gymnosperm Ephedra (Gnetales)

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1680-1697, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The long‐term effects of present‐day climate change on pollination are unquantified. However, distinguishing climatic drivers of ancient changes in pollination could provide valuable insights into biotic responses to near‐future climate states.

Genome size of three Brazilian flies from the Sciaridae family

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
We determined the genome size of the Brazilian sciarid flies Bradysia hygida, Rhynchosciara americana and Trichosia pubescens (Diptera: Sciaridae) using absorbance measurements of Feulgen-stained nuclei belonging to these species (and chicken ...
