Evaluating the effects of preservation method and storage duration on lysis buffer–based non-destructive DNA metabarcoding in insect mock communities
Lead Author: Sophie de BecquevortOverview Suspended traps such as Lindgren funnel traps and vane traps are increasingly used in combination with DNA metabarcoding to characterise canopy arthropod communities. Despite their wide use, it remains unclear how different preservatives and storage conditions affect DNA integrity in samples destined for molecular analysis. Ethanol, while commonly used...

The forest biodiversity index (FOBI): monitoring forest biodiversity potential over space and time
Lead Author: Chloe BellamyThe FOrest Biodiversity Index (FOBI) is a transparent, repeatable, spatially explicit indicator designed to monitor biodiversity potential across the UK’s publicly owned forests over time. Co developed with public forest agencies, the index integrates multiple management sensitive woodland and landscape metrics to support evidence led decision making, policy evaluation and...
