Dietary adaptations along the northern limit of distribution: what does the smooth snake Coronella austriaca eat in Norway? Metabarcoding of stomach content and visual analysis of faeces

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how species survive at their poleward limits of distribution is of interest in species conservation, particularly in light of global warming and predictions of shifting distributions of both predators and prey species. How species adapt to high latitudes and to future climate changes will be impacted both by direct interactions with the ...

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

The evolution and distribution of noxious species of scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones)

open access: yesJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2018
This contribution attempts to bring some general information on the evolution and, in particular, on the geographic distribution of scorpion species noxious to humans. Since 95% of the scorpions incidents are generated by specimens of the family Buthidae

Effects of competition and predation risk from a life history intraguild predator on individual specialisation

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Individual niche specialisation is widespread within animal populations and can have important ecological consequences. Predation and competition are known drivers of individual specialisation, but their combined effects are unstudied. This mesocosm experiment shows that competition and predation from a single antagonist can have variable effects on ...

Venoms of Iranian Scorpions (Arachnida, Scorpiones) and Their Potential for Drug Discovery

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Scorpions, a characteristic group of arthropods, are among the earliest diverging arachnids, dating back almost 440 million years. One of the many interesting aspects of scorpions is that they have venom arsenals for capturing prey and defending against ...
