Abstract Improved taxonomic methods are needed to quantify declining populations of insect pollinators. This study devises a high‐throughput DNA barcoding protocol for regional fauna (United Kingdom) bees (Apiformes), consisting reference library construction, proof‐of‐concept monitoring scheme, and the deep individuals assess potential artefacts organismal associations. A database cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 (cox1) sequences including 92.4% 278 bee species known from UK showed high...
BackgroundEnvironmental trade-offs associated with land use—for example, between food security and biodiversity conservation—are crucial dimensions of planetary health. Land use-driven change might predictably affect disease risk if reservoir host species are consistently more likely to persist under human disturbance (ie, ecological communities in modified habitats generally have a higher zoonotic potential than those unmodified habitats). Such phenomenon has been observed specific systems,...
