Bee and non-bee insect pollinators play an integral role in the quantity and quality of
production for many food crops, yet there is growing evidence that nutritional challenges to …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is increasingly being implemented as a non‐
invasive and efficient approach for biodiversity research and monitoring across ecosystems …

Long‐lived top predators shape biodiversity structure in their ecosystems and predator–prey
interactions are critical in decoding how communities function. Studies on the foraging …

Abstract The creation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is central to the European Union's
