Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019 Members of the speciose insect order Trichoptera (caddisflies) provide important ecosystem services, for example, nutrient cycling through breaking down of organic matter. They are also of industrial interest due to their larval silk secretions.

Allochthonous chemical cues drive predation by a top carnivore
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Identifying the mechanisms by which mobile predators detect and select prey remains a central challenge in sensory biology and functional ecology. This study provides the first direct evidence that chemical cues associated with allochthonous organic matter (e.g.

Litter identity affects assimilation of carbon and nitrogen by a shredding caddisfly
Ecosphere, 2018 Ecologists often equate litter quality with decomposition rate. In soil and sediments, litter that is rapidly decomposed by microbes often has low concentrations of tannin and lignin and low C:N ratios. Do these same traits also favor element transfer to

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...
