Habitat alteration impacts predation risk in an aposematic amphibian

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Clay models of fire salamanders in the Vienna Woods suffer more predation attempts in managed forest zones than in protected ones. These differences are mainly due to increased predation by birds in managed areas, which are characterised by higher tree species diversity.

A taste for dung: food preferences of dung beetles uncovered

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles have a generalist diet although they can develop preferences for specific excrements, such as elephant dung. Buffalo and wild boar dungs were broadly accepted among dung beetle species. In contrast, goat excrement was the least preferred. Abstract Insects represent the most megadiverse animal group, having evolved a wide range of feeding ...

A Genomic Exploration of the Possible De‐Extirpation of the Zanzibar Leopard

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The recently extirpated Zanzibar leopard was the only known African leopard (Panthera pardus spp.) population restricted exclusively to a major island habitat. Although its demise was driven through habitat change and conflict with humans, given its role as a keystone species for the Zanzibar Archipelago, its successful potential ...

Blood parameters of Angus and Nellore young bulls fed diets with or without forage.

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia
We evaluated blood parameters of Angus and Nellore bulls fed diets with and without forage. Forty animals with initial body weight (BW) of 380±16.2 kg were housed in individual stalls.

Host‐feeding preferences of Culex pipiens and its potential significance for flavivirus transmission in the Camargue, France

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

Aphid effector Mp10 balances immune suppression and defence activation through EDS1‐dependent modulation of plant DAMP responses

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Damage‐associated molecular pattern (DAMP)‐triggered immunity (DTI) serves as a crucial first line of defence against aphid attack, yet how aphids manage this response remains unclear. By investigating the colonisation of Arabidopsis thaliana by the highly polyphagous peach–potato aphid (Myzus persicae), we identified cell wall‐derived DAMPs ...

Overabundant populations of large wild herbivores disrupt plant–pollinator networks in a Mediterranean ecosystem

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Plant–pollinator network diversity, complexity, and structure decrease in scenarios of large herbivore overabundance, but network robustness will be unaffected if dominant plants are not palatable. Abstract Large herbivores are keystone species, so changes in their population abundance can have cascading effects on ecosystems.

Virtue or passion? How moral frames in climate change appeals elicit emotions and change opinions

Political Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Political climate change debates make use of different moral frames of climate change diagnoses and solutions. While it is argued that moral frames are more effective when they invoke strong moral emotions, thus far the relationship between real‐world political moral viewpoints on climate change and the arousal of related emotions, behavior ...

Product and Process Innovation: Evaluating Supplier Diversity and Geographic Proximity in Importing by Non‐MNEs

R&D Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work aims to clarify the role of intermediate imports on the innovation performance of non‐multinational enterprises (non‐MNEs) by examining the geographic proximity and diversity of international suppliers. Firstly, it has been argued that importing from nearby suppliers will contribute more to innovation performance than distant ...
