Dietary selectivity mediates niche overlap and interspecific competition in a reedbed warbler community in southern Europe

Ibis, EarlyView.
Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

Towards a unified publicly accessible database of avian type specimens

Ibis, EarlyView.
Type specimens represent the crucial physical reference for any scientific bird name, but type material is scattered widely across the globe, and there is still no one comprehensive source documenting the presence, status and condition of all avian type specimens, as well as associated information on nomenclature and the validity of individual names ...

Not all crickets are equal: selective shrike predation highlights the conservation value of diverse arthropod communities to grassland birds

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding dietary preferences and prey selection is pivotal for interpreting the ecology and conservation needs of threatened species. We investigated the diet composition and prey selection of the Red‐backed Shrike Lanius collurio in a montane grassland of the central Italian Apennines, with special regard to sex‐related differences and the ...

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.
