Multifaceted DNA metabarcoding of guano to uncover multiple classes of ecological data in two different bat communities

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1189-1200, July 2022., 2022
Abstract DNA contained in animal scat provides a wealth of information about the animal, and DNA metabarcoding of scat collections can provide key information about animal populations and communities. Next‐generation DNA sequencing technologies and DNA metabarcoding provide an efficient means for obtaining information available in scat samples. We used

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

A molecular‐based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 803-822, February 2022., 2022
Abstract To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new ...

Forest disturbance and arthropods: small‐scale canopy and understory disturbances alter movement of mobile arthropods

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Dispersal of ground‐dwelling arthropods is understudied in forest ecosystems, which hinders understanding of effects of disturbances on population dynamics. The objective of the study was to quantify movement of ground‐dwelling arthropods in response to a factorial combination of canopy gap formation via girdling and understory vegetation ...
