Revealing parasitoid-pest interactions using multi-marker metabarcoding: a nationwide assessment of parasitism in cabbage stem flea beetle larvae

The paper uses multi-marker DNA metabarcoding to assess parasitism rates and identify parasitoids of cabbage stem flea beetle larvae across England, revealing regional differences and novel interactions.

Local and biogeographical determinants of the diversity and structure of invertebrate communities in rot holes of ash, Fraxinus excelsior

This study examines invertebrate communities in ash tree rot holes across Wales and western England, finding that both local and biogeographical factors influence diversity and structure.

Urbanization effects are trait-specific and city-dependent across a widespread spider's global range

The paper examines how urbanization affects specific traits of the European garden spider across 22 cities, finding trait-specific and city-dependent responses.

Arthropod predator nutrient content changes with crop sowing period with implications for biocontrol

This study examines how crop sowing timing affects arthropod predator nutrition and prey availability, finding that predator nutrient content differs between winter- and spring-sown wheat, with prey quality, not identity, driving these changes.

Identifying the Fusarium species involved in foot rot disease of faba beans in the UK using a combined molecular and microbiological approach

The paper identifies Fusarium species causing foot rot in UK faba beans using molecular and microbiological methods, finding F. oxysporum as the most prevalent pathogen.
