Indigenous peoples have cultivated biodiverse agroecosystems since time immemorial. The
rise of metagenomics and high‐throughput sequencing technologies in biodiversity studies …

The dynamic structure of ecological communities results from interactions among taxa that
change with shifts in species composition in space and time. However, our ability to study …

Islands make up a large proportion of Earth's biodiversity, yet are also some of the most
sensitive systems to environmental perturbation. Biogeographic theory predicts that geologic …

Estimating species biomass or abundance from the number of high-throughput sequencing
(HTS) reads is an aspirational goal for DNA metabarcoding, yet studies have found varied …

The ongoing decline of insect populations highlight the need for long-term ecological
monitoring. As part of the “SLAM—Long Term Ecological Study of the Impacts of Climate …

Current understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes underlying island
biodiversity is heavily shaped by empirical data from plants and birds, although arthropods …

The open ecosystem (eg grasslands, prairies, shrublands) tends to be ecologically less
stable than closed one (ie forests) and encompassess higher spatial heterogeneity in terms …

Adaptive radiation provides the ideal context for identifying and testing the processes that
drive evolutionary diversification. However, different adaptive radiations show a variety of …

Arthropods play a vital role in ecosystems; yet, their distributions remain poorly understood,
particularly in mountainous regions. This study delves into the modelling of the distribution of …
