Check out this new preprint, now live on EcoEvoRxiv, from a Scottish Government-commissioned collaboration across Forest Research, Fera Science Ltd. and Newcastle University, led by Kyle Miller: Evaluating the potential of molecular dietary analysis of predators for the detection of emerging plant pests Monitoring plant pests is crucial for maximising yields across agricultural and forestContinueContinue reading “New preprint: Evaluating the potential of molecular dietary analysis of predators for the detection of emerging plant pests”

Check out this new preprint, now live on EcoEvoRxiv, from a collaboration co-led by Jordan and Yuval Cohen: Expanding the sentinel approach through multimodal integration: resolving underlying ecological processes with eDNA and computer vision Sentinel approaches can quantify in-field ecological interactions and processes in a semi-controlled way, also reducing bias and labour. The assignment ofContinueContinue reading “New preprint: Expanding the sentinel approach through multimodal integration: resolving underlying ecological processes with eDNA and computer vision”

Check out this new preprint, now live on EcoEvoRxiv, from an ongoing collaboration with Forest Research on oak processionary moth biocontrol: Reintroducing a nationally extinct predator, the forest caterpillar hunter (Calosoma sycophanta), for biocontrol of the invasive oak processionary (Thaumetopoea processionea) in Britain: considerations, benefits and risks The oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea; OPM) isContinueContinue reading “New preprint: Reintroducing a nationally extinct predator, the forest caterpillar hunter (Calosoma sycophanta), for biocontrol of the invasive oak processionary (Thaumetopoea processionea) in Britain: considerations, benefits and risks”

Check out this new paper that Will led alongside his PhD supervisory team across Newcastle University, Fera Science Ltd and Nottingham Trent University! Ecoacoustics for context-rich direct and indirect trophic interaction data and ecological network construction Ecoacoustics can be used to monitor biodiversity across massive spatiotemporal scales, including in ecologically cryptic systems like soil, yetContinueContinue reading “NEW PAPER: Ecoacoustics for context-rich direct and indirect trophic interaction data and ecological network construction”

Check out our new preprint on bioRxiv, led collaboratively by Rosy and Rebecca, titled “Arthropod predator nutrient content changes with crop sowing period with implications for biocontrol”! This paper shows that the sowing time of crops can have important nutritional consequences for their arthropod communities, with the macronutrient contents of arthropod predators differing significantly betweenContinueContinue reading “New preprint: Arthropod predator nutrient content changes with crop sowing period with implications for biocontrol”
