Soil Moisture and Prey Life Cycles Promote Seasonal Dietary Shift in a Grassland‐Breeding Migratory Shorebird [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we utilized DNA metabarcoding of 207 fecal samples to describe the diet of flock‐foraging godwits in southwest Friesland, the Netherlands, during pre‐nesting (March) and post‐nesting (May–June) periods. To assess whether dietary changes were resource or selectivity based, we simultaneously quantified soil macrofauna biomass and measured ...

Developing a Fecal DNA Method With Blocking Primers to Determine Red Knots' (<i>Calidris canutus</i>) Diets Noninvasively. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe blocking primer suppressed Red Knot DNA while improving detection of other prey taxa. We detected horseshoe crab in the Fall fecal samples, suggesting their use goes beyond the spring migration period of the Red Knots. ABSTRACT Understanding the diets of migratory shorebirds such as the Red Knot (Calidris canutus) is essential for evaluating ...

Taxonomic review of the genus Erythrocricus Schubart, 1962 (Diplopoda, Spirobolida, Rhinocricidae)
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2021 We review the genus Erythrocricus Schubart, 1962 based on the type material of the species Erythrocricus sanguineostriatus (Schubart, 1962). We propose a new diagnosis, redescribe the type species, and propose a new synonymy and a new combination.
