Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding holds great promise as a simple and efficient tool to detect plant–insect interactions. However, the influence of both abiotic biotic factors on eDNA deposition in these interactions is not well understood. It especially remains be tested how much abundances reflect frequency or intensity between insects plants. We experimentally analysed quantitative from three insect species (the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula, mustard beetle Phaedon cochleariae fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda ) leaves two host plants varying attractiveness: savoy cabbage ( Brassica oleracea var. sabauda , preferred host) tomato Solanum lycopersicum less host). for effects taxonomy, plant, exposure time interacting plant material. Our data show clear ecological signal deposition. Insect abundance interaction are reflected amount deposited eDNA. Moreover, significantly more was cabbage, plant. Besides drivers, very strong taxonomic bias different taxa observed. detection strongly influenced by targeted taxa, highlighting utility specifically trophic arthropods. biases preclude comparative analyses at community level.

ABSTRACT Understanding the diversity and ecological roles of arthropods within tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs) is crucial for forest ecosystem conservation management. In our study, we aimed to identify most effective environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding approach capturing ecologically important arthropod species primarily inhabiting near‐ground‐level TreMs. We evaluated use COI 16S primers eDNA compared direct indirect sampling methods, including lying deadwood sediment (LDS), standing (SDS), soil (SS), tree surface roller (TSRS). Our results indicated significant biases challenges, particularly in primer selection, with outperforming taxonomic resolution taxa. TSRS method effectively captured 408 OTUs at level, highest number associated TreMs other approaches. Direct from sediments revealed a higher abundance fungi than arthropods, impacting estimates. also observed habitat‐specific preferences among certain methods distinct findings underscore importance carefully selecting validating studies provide insights into complexity communities Optimized will advance monitoring techniques ecosystems inform efforts preserve

Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding promises to be a cost‐ and time‐efficient monitoring tool detect interactions of arthropods with plants. However, observation‐based verification the eDNA‐derived data is still required confirm reliability those detections, i.e., verify whether have previously interacted plant. Here, we conducted comparative analysis performance eDNA video camera observations arthropod communities associated sunflowers ( Helianthus annuus , L.). We compared taxonomic composition, interaction type, diversity by testing for an effect time occupancy on successful taxon recovery eDNA. also tested if prewashing flowers successfully removed deposition from before recording, thus enabling reset community standardized monitoring. find that recovered distinct communities, about quarter families overlapping. overlapping taxa comprised ~90% observed camera. Interestingly, more unique than cameras, but approximately two‐thirds were rare species. The biased toward plant sap‐suckers, showing such species may deposit than, example, transient pollinators. flower heads did not suffice remove all traces, suggesting plants temporally stable thought. Our work highlights great potential as plant‐arthropod interactions, particularly specialized frequently interacting taxa.

Abstract Conservation biocontrol, the regulation of crop pests by naturally occurring biocontrol agents (e.g., predators and parasitoids), is predominantly monitored throughout periods primary growth when exert most observable impact on yields. Pest‐focused agricultural biomonitoring often overlooks post‐harvest, winter even early‐season despite significant predator–pest interactions during these that profoundly affect pest abundance and, consequently, Rapid advances in biomonitoring, particularly detection underpin provide an opportunity to reconsider how we monitor interactions. Advances must transcend methodological innovation encompass conceptual changes monitoring systems. Here, assess existing evidence supporting importance beyond for are likely evolve periods, subsequently influencing population dynamics period. We advocate a greater concerted effort establish continuous interactions, temperate climates. To facilitate this, also summarise approaches can make it possible explore extending sampling across full annual cycle might practicalities outcomes approaches. Year‐round both crops adjacent semi‐natural habitats, will previously intractable understanding dynamics, offering potential enhance our ability optimise manipulate This would manifest reduced yield losses, infestation rates disease transmission, with concomitant long‐term financial, environmental land‐use benefits.

Abstract Plant-animal interactions (PAIs) are critical in ecosystem function, mediating energy flow and species interactions. Traditional methods of tracking PAIs, such as morphological identification camera trapping, limited speed scalability, posing challenges for comprehensive biodiversity monitoring. Recently, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged a promising technique detecting non-destructively. This pilot study explores the application eDNA to investigate involving partially consumed intact fruits Carica papaya Ananas comosus . were performed from 36 6 fruit samples. Metabarcoding mitochondrial COI gene fragments revealed diverse range taxa, with Arthropoda, particularly insects, being most abundant. Results indicated significant differences taxonomic composition between pineapple samples, where both hold some unique well shared taxa. Furthermore, diversity also differed fruits, suggesting that serve rich sources, capturing various frugivores decomposers. Signal organisms detected through damaged allowed us capture wide array revealing insights into ecological relationships. The ASVs associated each type suggest certain taxa may showing preferences based on characteristics sugar content, texture, or chemical profile. Present work highlighted importance unraveling fruit-associated plant-animal method needs expertise, less labors, fast effective, which can be implemented monitoring economical

Characterizing biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) represents a paradigm shift in our capacity for biomonitoring complex environments, both aquatic and terrestrial. However, eDNA is limited by biases toward certain species the low taxonomic resolution of current metabarcoding approaches. Shotgun metagenomics enables collection whole ecosystem data sequencing all molecules present, allowing characterization identification. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas)-based methods have potential to improve efficiency metagenomic low-abundant target organisms simplify analysis enrichment or nontarget depletion before sequencing. Implementation CRISPR-Cas has been due lack interest support past. This perspective synthesizes approaches study underrepresented taxa advocate further application optimization CRISPR-Cas, holding promise biomonitoring.
