Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Interactions between prairie dogs and arthropods in grassland ecosystems: a review and research gaps

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.) are an important component of grassland ecosystems of North America where they can alter vegetation composition/structure and physical attributes of grassland habitats through their feeding and burrowing behavior. Impacts of prairie dog presence on many wildlife and plant taxa have been widely studied but research on prairie

Do sexually dimorphic glands in the harvestman Gryne perlata (Arachnida: Opiliones) release contact pheromones during mating?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2016
There are records of glands that produce sexual pheromones that are released into the environment or applied directly on sexual partners. Within Opiliones (Arachnida), several harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores have sexually dimorphic glands on legs I

Rising Connectivity, Shifting Hubs: The Evolving Network and Governance Challenges of Global Wild‐Sourced Trade

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Wild‐sourced wildlife trade is not only increasing in volume but also changing in network structure. Using three decades of CITES trade records, we found that the wild‐sourced wildlife trade has become increasingly connected and taxonomically uneven, with Anthozoa contributing a growing share.

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Island invertebrate responses to single‐ and multi‐species invasive rodent eradications

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Eradications of rodents on islands are a powerful tool for conservation, but rarely are the responses of invertebrates quantified post‐eradication, despite being the preferred prey of mice. Here we analyzed pre‐ and post‐eradication invertebrate survey results for two sub‐Antarctic islands where mice had recently been eradicated; Antipodes Island where
