Can Widely Used Methods Be Turned Into eDNA Samplers for Ground‐Dwelling Arthropods? Insights From Two Pilot Studies in West European Salt Marshes

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 164-177, February 2026.
This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...

Weaving together the past, present and future of Greek arachnofauna: Biodiversity, knowledge gaps and conservation

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 158-171, January 2026.
Greece hosts 1310 species of spiders, 226 of which are endemic. Out of the 202 assessed species in IUCN standards, 64.5% are assessed as threatened. Integrating 187 articles and other forms of literature, we present 18,000 unique occurrences across continental and island Greece. Spider conservation in Greece should focus on obtaining distributional and

The value of public databases for our knowledge of national spider biodiversity compared to a long‐term scientific monitoring project

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 228-239, January 2026.
Records in citizen science platforms in Sweden are biased towards visible, diurnal, urban species but provide a cost‐effective way to gather large datasets and engage the public. National scientific surveys like the Swedish Malaise Trap Project remain essential to detect rare and cryptic species without activity bias, though some spider families are ...
