Recent changes in the seasonal timing (phenology) of familiar biological events have been one of the most conspicuous signs of climate change. However, the lack of a standardized approach to analysing change has hampered assessment of consistency in...

Species- and group-specific PCR primers were developed to study predation on pest and nonpest invertebrate species by generalist carabid predators in agroecosystems. To ensure the amplification of degraded DNA in predator gut samples, amplicons were...

Prey choice by carabid beetles feeding on an earthworm community analysed using species- and lineage-specific PCR primers (2010)
Journal Article
KING, R. A., VAUGHAN, I. P., BELL, J. R., BOHAN, D. A., & SYMONDSON, W. O. (2010). Prey choice by carabid beetles feeding on an earthworm community analysed using species- and lineage-specific PCR primers. Molecular Ecology, 19(8), 1721-1732. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-294X.2010.04602.x

The carabid beetle Pterostichus melanarius is a major natural enemy of pests, such as aphids and slugs in agricultural systems. Earthworms are a dominant non-pest component of the diet of P. melanarius which help sustain the beetles during periods wh...
