One to rule them all? Assessing the performance of sustainable forest management indicators against multitaxonomic data for biodiversity conservation

The paper evaluates Forest Europe biodiversity indicators against multitaxonomic data, finding no single indicator captures overall biodiversity, but combinations perform better.

Distance decay 2.0 - a global synthesis of taxonomic and functional turnover in ecological communities.

This paper synthesizes global taxonomic and functional distance decay patterns across 149 datasets, finding taxonomic decay is stronger than functional decay, with mid-latitude datasets showing the fastest taxonomic spatial decay.

Simple attributes predict the importance of plants as hosts to the richness of fungi and arthropods

The paper investigates how plant attributes predict the richness of associated fungi and arthropods using link scores derived from plant-consumer interaction databases.

Detecting flying insects using mega-nets and meta-barcoding

This study uses car nets and DNA metabarcoding to sample and analyze flying insect diversity across Denmark, detecting 15 out of 19 insect orders and 319 new species.

Contrasting impacts of urban and farmland cover on flying insect biomass

This study finds urban land cover negatively affects flying insect biomass, while farmland has a positive effect, with varying impacts across spatial scales in Denmark and Germany.

Man against machine: Do fungal fruitbodies and eDNA give similar biodiversity assessments across broad environmental gradients?

This study compares fungal biodiversity assessments using eDNA-metabarcoding and fruitbody surveys across environmental gradients, finding convergence in some metrics but differences in others.
