Antagonistic Rewiring and Turnover Patterns in a Neotropical Fish–Parasite Metanetwork

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Integrating beta‐diversity and network analyses is an emerging approach for understanding the spatial structure of species communities. For instance, although the presence of hosts affects parasite species distribution, environmental factors can either restrict or promote the occurrence of certain parasite species by changing the abundance of ...

Metagenomic Insights Into the Dietary Diversity of the Adaptive Radiation of Cichlid Fishes in Lake Tanganyika

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 9, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Diet specialisation is a main driver of diversification in many adaptive radiations. Therefore, identifying diet items is essential to characterise trophic specialisations and to understand the dynamics of dietary adaptations. In this study, we explored the trophic niches of 56 species from the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake ...
