Insects are crucial for ecosystem health but climate change and pesticide use are driving
massive insect decline. To mitigate this loss, we need new and effective monitoring …

Molecular methods are currently some of the best-suited technologies for implementation in
insect monitoring. However, the field is developing rapidly and lacks agreement on …

A major limitation of current reports on insect declines is the lack of standardized, long-term,
and taxonomically broad time series. Here, we demonstrate the utility of environmental DNA …

Our limited knowledge about the ecological drivers of global arthropod decline highlights the
urgent need for more effective biodiversity monitoring approaches. Monitoring of arthropods …

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

Main conclusion Environmental DNA-based monitoring provides critical insights for
enhancing our understanding of plant–animal interactions in the context of worldwide …

In the past decade, environmental DNA (eDNA) assays have become an essential tool to
investigate species presence with samples from the environment instead of collected …

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

Determination of the personal identity of victims is particularly important for the settlement of
criminal cases. Unfortunately, useful information for identification is not always available. We …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding promises to be a cost‐and time‐efficient
monitoring tool to detect interactions of arthropods with plants. However, observation‐based …
