Is What Comes out the Same as What Goes in? A Preliminary Investigation of the Isotopic Impacts of Digestion by Red‐Tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) and Eurasian Eagle Owls (Bubo bubo)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Isotope analysis of predator feces and consumed prey remains can be used to non‐invasively track diet and reconstruct past environment and climate conditions. However, one must account for the isotopic difference between diet and feces, as well as the possible influence of digestion on consumed prey tissues.

Prevalence and Diversity of Haemosporidian–Associated Matryoshka RNA Viruses in a Natural Population of Wild Birds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
This study investigated the prevalence and diversity of Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV) in wild birds in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Using RNA sequencing and RT‐PCR, we identified two novel MaRNAVs (MaRNAV‐5 and ‐6) associated with haemosporidian infections in passerines and raptors. These findings suggest a high prevalence of these viruses,

Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
We experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained
