Ecological network structure in response to community assembly processes over evolutionary time

Natalie R. Graham et al.

Summary: This study used a geological chronosequence across the Hawaiian Islands to examine the changes in ecological communities with community age. By sampling arthropod and plant communities and analyzing their interactions, the study found that the number of interactions, ratio of plant to arthropod species, and interaction evenness increased significantly with community age. Additionally, the index of specialization had a curvilinear relationship with community age. These findings indicate that younger communities have fewer but stronger interactions, while older communities become more diverse and even.

eDNA metabarcoding of avocado flowers: 'Hass' it got potential to survey arthropods in food production systems?

Joshua H. Kestel et al.

Summary: In the face of global biodiversity declines, it is increasingly important to survey beneficial and antagonistic arthropod diversity and the ecological services they provide. Conventional survey methods can be limiting in industries like agriculture, where arthropods play a critical role. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers an accurate and efficient alternative by using crop flowers as a substrate. This study compared arthropod communities detected by eDNA metabarcoding of flowers with conventional survey techniques and found potential for revolutionizing arthropod community monitoring.

Overcoming the pitfalls of merging dietary metabarcoding into ecological networks

Jordan P. Cuff et al.

Summary: The construction of species interaction networks is crucial for understanding complex eco-evolutionary interactions, ecosystem services, and the impacts of environmental change. Dietary metabarcoding is a promising tool for constructing high-resolution trophic interaction networks, but it faces challenges and difficulties.

Environmental DNA from archived leaves reveals widespread temporal turnover and biotic homogenization in forest arthropod communities

Henrik Krehenwinkel et al.

Summary: A major limitation of current reports on insect declines is the lack of standardized, long-term, and taxonomically broad time series. This study demonstrates the utility of environmental DNA from archived leaf material to analyze temporal changes in plant-associated arthropod communities. The results suggest that insect decline may be driven by beta-diversity decay across space and time, resulting in gradual community turnover and biotic homogenization.

Richness and resilience in the Pacific: DNA metabarcoding enables parallelized evaluation of biogeographic patterns

Susan Kennedy et al.

Summary: Islands, as a significant part of Earth's biodiversity, are highly sensitive to environmental changes. This study uses DNA metabarcoding and statistical modelling to investigate the diversity patterns and non-native species invasion in three Pacific archipelagos. The results largely support the predictions of island biogeography theory and show that forest habitats in the oldest archipelago, the Ryukyus, are more resilient to non-native species invasion compared to the less taxonomically rich archipelagos.

Key factors to consider in the use of environmental DNA metabarcoding to monitor terrestrial ecological restoration

Mieke van der Heyde et al.

Summary: Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a valuable tool for monitoring the restoration of terrestrial ecosystems. Key factors to consider in using eDNA for monitoring include sample substrate selection, sample collection and storage, assay selection, and data interpretation. The majority of eDNA-based restoration studies are conducted in Europe, North America, and Australia, with soil microbial communities being the most targeted taxa and forests being the most studied ecosystem.

Toward global integration of biodiversity big data: a harmonized metabarcode data generation module for terrestrial arthropods

Paula Arribas et al.

Summary: Metazoan metabarcoding is an important strategy for biodiversity inventorying, but differences in workflows might compromise data integration. To address this issue, a modular framework for harmonized data generation was proposed, focusing on terrestrial arthropods. Key points for harmonization were identified and guidelines were provided to reduce methodological options and promote best practice.

The bug in a teacup-monitoring arthropod-plant associations with environmental DNA from dried plant material

Henrik Krehenwinkel et al.

Summary: Environmental DNA analysis (eDNA) has revolutionized biomonitoring by showing that dried plant material is a highly promising source for arthropod eDNA. Using a metabarcoding assay, diverse arthropod communities were enriched and identified from commercially produced teas and herbs. The temporal stability of arthropod DNA in dried plants opens up the possibility of using plant archives as historical sources of arthropod eDNA. The simplicity and utility of this approach also make it suitable for outreach purposes and raising awareness about biodiversity.

Biodiversity: Monitoring trends and implications for ecosystem functioning

Jes Hines et al.

Summary: Systematic, long-term monitoring is crucial for understanding the vulnerability of biodiversity to environmental change. Recent research has shown that trends in taxonomic diversity may not necessarily correspond with trends in functional diversity, highlighting the importance of interpreting the implications of different types of diversity change for ecosystem functioning.

A window to the world of global insect declines: Moth biodiversity trends are complex and heterogeneous

David L. Wagner et al.

Summary: Moths are experiencing alarming decreases in abundance and diversity across Europe, but not in all regions like Ecuador and Arizona. Specialist moths are declining faster than generalist ones, with specific traits and habitats associated with higher risks. The most important stressors for moth declines include habitat loss due to human activities and climate change.

Standards and Best Practices for Monitoring and Benchmarking Insects

Graham A. Montgomery et al.

Summary: Benchmark studies of insect populations are increasingly important in the Anthropocene due to accelerating concern about insect trends. Lack of standardization in insect monitoring methods calls for coordinated focus on standards and best practices. Simple guidelines and seven primary insect sampling methods are provided to address this issue.
