Nonetheless, we lack insights about spatiotemporal variation in guild composition of communities and its causes. To investigate spatial and temporal patterns and drivers of variation in insect feeding guilds, we combined data from a nationwide survey of Swedish insects using Malaise traps and DNA metabarcoding with a comprehensive trait database. We assigned species into one of three feeding guilds (phytophages, saprophages, predators) or into one of three associated parasitoid guilds. We then analysed patterns in species richness for each guild. Species richness declined with latitude in all guilds. Beyond this gradient, local variation in species richness matched between hosts and their parasitoids. Yet, hosts and their parasitoids responded differently to habitat. The phenological peak of parasitoid species richness appeared later than the peak of their hosts, but the length of time lags varied among guilds. Spatiotemporal patterns were driven by guild-specific responses to temperature, though much variation remained between seasons and locations even when controlling for temperature. Overall, these patterns suggest that shifts in both climate and land use may alter the synchrony of insect trophic layers, with unknown consequences.", "doi": "10.1111/1365-2656.70228", "pmid": "41665095", "labels": {"National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service", "NGI Stockholm (Genomics Production)": "Service", "NGI Short read": "Service"}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2026-02-27T13:20:10.573Z", "modified": "2026-03-24T09:07:39.535Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "1713323a9169478392c8d609c08e7c95", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/1713323a9169478392c8d609c08e7c95.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/1713323a9169478392c8d609c08e7c95"}}, "title": "The utility of combining deep learning with metabarcoding to model biodiversity dynamics at a national scale", "authors": [{"family": "Baggstr\u00f6m", "given": "Adrian", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Goodsell", "given": "Robert", "initials": "R", "orcid": "0000-0002-3349-1876", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/84f42755a394403b95486707bf4a83bd.json"}}, {"family": "van Dijk", "given": "Laura", "initials": "L", "orcid": "0000-0003-1015-8496", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/54c9432c19234fd5bc5dfc0a037dae0f.json"}}, {"family": "Iwaszkiewicz-Eggebrecht", "given": "Ela", "initials": "E", "orcid": "0000-0003-1412-1711", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/53c085bb455d44ceac2f050f5c38f683.json"}}, {"family": "Miraldo", "given": "Andreia", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0001-6107-006X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/8b1de25c21dc4c5fb541f4e8766de4b7.json"}}, {"family": "Tack", "given": "Ayco J M", "initials": "AJM", "orcid": "0000-0002-3550-1070", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/7f9cf8fde705481281edab32bc9156e5.json"}}, {"family": "Andermann", "given": "Tobias", "initials": "T"}], "type": "journal-article", "published": "2025-12-00", "journal": {"title": "Ecological Informatics", "issn": "1574-9541", "volume": "90", "pages": "103318", "issn-l": null}, "abstract": null, "doi": "10.1016/j.ecoinf.2025.103318", "pmid": null, "labels": {"Bioinformatics Support for Computational Resources": "Service"}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2025-11-28T10:42:58.970Z", "modified": "2025-11-29T08:23:53.494Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "0c35ae7c18b94e239d19318c61b04c7a", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/0c35ae7c18b94e239d19318c61b04c7a.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/0c35ae7c18b94e239d19318c61b04c7a"}}, "title": "Small Bugs, Big Data: Metagenomics for Arthropod Biodiversity Monitoring.", "authors": [{"family": "L\u00f3pez Clinton", "given": "Samantha", "initials": "S", "orcid": "0000-0003-1364-9135", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/46b97ad0ac8541dc807e570724e58c69.json"}}, {"family": "Iwaszkiewicz-Eggebrecht", "given": "Ela", "initials": "E", "orcid": "0000-0003-1412-1711", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/53c085bb455d44ceac2f050f5c38f683.json"}}, {"family": "Miraldo", "given": "Andreia", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0001-6107-006X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/8b1de25c21dc4c5fb541f4e8766de4b7.json"}}, {"family": "Goodsell", "given": "Robert", "initials": "R"}, {"family": "Webster", "given": "Matthew T", "initials": "MT"}, {"family": "Ronquist", "given": "Fredrik", "initials": "F", "orcid": "0000-0002-3929-251X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/440662f277ea4756a08a7f5925b3f485.json"}}, {"family": "van der Valk", "given": "Tom", "initials": "T", "orcid": "0000-0001-6582-3452", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/f56ca19cfa4f4909be996b2c99ec24f1.json"}}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2025-09-00", "journal": {"title": "Ecol Evol", "issn": "2045-7758", "issn-l": "2045-7758", "volume": "15", "issue": "9", "pages": "e72163"}, "abstract": "Obtaining genome-wide data from complex samples, such as environmental material or bulk species collections, is increasingly feasible, yet inferring species presence and population genomic insights remains challenging. We applied metagenomic sequencing to 40 arthropod bulk samples collected with Malaise traps across Sweden and compared results with metabarcoding of the same material. Using a custom genome database, we achieved genus-level classification largely consistent with metabarcoding. While metagenomics detected all genera identified by metabarcoding, conservative filtering thresholds designed to minimise false positives also excluded some true signals, particularly for low-abundance taxa. Taxonomic overlap between methods was further constrained by limited reference database representation. Beyond taxonomic assignment, metagenomic sequencing yielded genome-level information: we inferred haplotype diversity, heterozygosity and geographic population structure for several abundant species, including variable degrees of hybrid origin in red wood ants and the genetic distinctiveness of Gotland bumblebees. Finally, by-catch plant DNA present in the bulk samples revealed plausible arthropod-plant interactions, several of which align with known ecological associations. Together, these results demonstrate the potential of metagenomics for biodiversity monitoring and population genomics, while underscoring the importance of filtering criteria and comprehensive
