The paper evaluates England's biodiversity offset market after 16 months, finding limited habitat diversity and low sales of offset units, highlighting design flaws in the BNG metric.

This study shows that the Small Copper butterfly chooses host plants based on microclimate rather than nutritional quality, even when warmer plants have lower nitrogen content.

The paper introduces a new qPCR assay to detect Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes in dietary and environmental samples, showing high specificity and sensitivity.

This study uses DNA barcoding to characterize West African arthropod biodiversity, identifying 10,120 BINs and highlighting high biodiversity and sampling gaps.

The paper evaluates a biodiversity metric used for ecological compensation and finds it poorly correlates with invertebrate biodiversity metrics like richness and abundance.

This study shows that temporal variability in host availability affects competition outcomes between two parasitoid species based on their reproductive strategies.

The study examines how individual species respond to tropical forest degradation, finding significant variation in responses across populations and surveys.

MitoHiFi assembles mitochondrial genomes from PacBio HiFi reads, identifying heteroplasmy variants and excluding nuclear contaminants, and has been used to assemble 374 mitochondrial genomes.

The paper introduces DROP, a curated molecular reference database for Drosophila parasitoids, to improve molecular identification and taxonomic accuracy.

This study examines the impact of moxidectin on dung beetle survival and ecosystem functioning, finding reduced survival in a sensitive species but no significant effect on dung removal.
