Small but mighty: headwaters are vital to stream network biodiversity at two levels of organization
TL;DR: Results suggest that, on average, headwaters probably contribute disproportionately to biodiversity at the network scale and demands a shift in thinking about the biodiversity contributions of small headwaters and has strong conservation implications for imperiled headwater streams around the world.
Prospects and challenges of environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring in freshwater ponds
Lynsey R. Harper,Andrew S. Buxton,Helen C. Rees,Kat Bruce,Rein Brys,David Halfmaerten,Daniel S. Read,Hayley V. Watson,Carl D. Sayer,Eleanor P. Jones,Victoria Priestley,Elvira Mächler,Elvira Mächler,Cesc Múrria,Sandra Garcés-Pastor,Cecilia Medupin,Katherine Burgess,Gillian Benson,Neil Boonham,Neil Boonham,Richard A. Griffiths,Lori Lawson Handley,Bernd Hänfling +22 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide recommendations for sampling, eDNA capture, inhibition testing, and laboratory practice, which should aid new and ongoing eDNA projects in ponds and contribute towards an eventual broad standardisation of eDNA research and practice, with room to tailor workflows for optimal analysis and different applications.
Drawing ecological inferences from coincident patterns of population‐ and community‐level biodiversity
TL;DR: Two broad categories of approach to merging studies of inter‐ and intraspecific variation are reviewed: (i) the study of phenotypic trait variation along environmental gradients and (ii) theStudy of relationships between patterns of molecular genetic variation within species and patterns of distribution and diversity across species.
The worldwide impact of urbanisation on avian functional diversity
Daniel Sol,Christopher H. Trisos,Christopher H. Trisos,Cesc Múrria,Alienor Jeliazkov,Cesar González-Lagos,Alex L. Pigot,Carlo Ricotta,Christopher M. Swan,Joe Tobias,Sandrine Pavoine +10 more
TL;DR: Global data on bird communities with comprehensive information on traits associated with ecological processes is integrated to show that assemblages in highly urbanised environments have substantially different functional composition and 20% less functional diversity on average than surrounding natural habitats.

The dark side of an island radiation: systematics and evolution of troglobitic spiders of the genus Dysdera Latreille (Araneae : Dysderidae) in the Canary Islands
Miquel A. Arnedo,Pedro Oromí,Cesc Múrria,Nuria Macías-Hernández,Nuria Macías-Hernández,Carles Ribera +5 more
TL;DR: The high levels of sympatry among troglobites are explained by trophic segregation and changes in prey capture strategy were involved in the single identi- fied case of subterranean speciation in the Dysdera group.
