Biodiversity soup: metabarcoding of arthropods for rapid biodiversity assessment and biomonitoring
Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu,Yinqiu Ji,Brent C. Emerson,Xiaoyang Wang,Chengxi Ye,Chunyan Yang,Zhaoli Ding +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated, for the first time, that metabarcoding allows for the precise estimation of pairwise community dissimilarity (beta diversity) and within-community phylogenetic diversity (alpha diversity), despite the inevitable loss of taxonomic information inherent to metabarcode.

Reliable, verifiable and efficient monitoring of biodiversity via metabarcoding
Yinqiu Ji,Louise A. Ashton,Scott M. Pedley,David Edwards,David Edwards,Yong Tang,Akihiro Nakamura,Akihiro Nakamura,Roger L. Kitching,Paul M. Dolman,Paul Woodcock,Felicity A. Edwards,Trond H. Larsen,Wayne W. Hsu,Suzan Benedick,Keith C. Hamer,David S. Wilcove,Catharine Bruce,Xiaoyang Wang,Taal Levi,Taal Levi,Martin Lott,Brent C. Emerson,Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu +24 more
TL;DR: Compared with standard biodiversity data sets, metabarcoded samples are taxonomically more comprehensive, many times quicker to produce, less reliant on taxonomic expertise and auditable by third parties, which is essential for dispute resolution.

Opportunities for biodiversity gains under the world/'s largest reforestation programme
Fangyuan Hua,Xiaoyang Wang,Xinlei Zheng,Brendan Fisher,Lin Wang,Jianguo Zhu,Ya Tang,Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu,David S. Wilcove +9 more
TL;DR: Focusing on birds and bees in Sichuan Province, it is found that GFGP reforestation results in modest gains and losses of bird diversity, along with major losses of bee diversity.
Tree plantations displacing native forests: The nature and drivers of apparent forest recovery on former croplands in Southwestern China from 2000 to 2015
Fangyuan Hua,Fangyuan Hua,Lin Wang,Brendan Fisher,Xinlei Zheng,Xiaoyang Wang,Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu,Ya Tang,Jianguo Zhu,David S. Wilcove +10 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors found that while the region's gross tree cover grew by 32%, this increase was entirely due to the conversion of croplands to tree plantations, particularly monocultures.

Plant diversity accurately predicts insect diversity in two tropical landscapes.
Kai Zhang,Kai Zhang,Siliang Lin,Yinqiu Ji,Chenxue Yang,Xiaoyang Wang,Xiaoyang Wang,Chunyan Yang,Hesheng Wang,Haisheng Jiang,Rhett D. Harrison,Douglas W. Yu,Douglas W. Yu +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that plant species richness can accurately predict arthropod (mostly insect) species richness and that plant and insect community compositions are highly correlated, even in landscapes that are large, heterogeneous and anthropogenically modified.
