Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans
Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat‐like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mammals, and that it is associated with ecologies that facilitate group cohesion (e.g. diurnality and open habitats) and also that should reduce competition (e.

Brazilian Journal of BiologyAbstract Over the decades, riverine ecosystems is suffering from intense human intervention resulting in degradation and habitat loss as a consequence, many fish species become endangered, particularly in rivers where heavy demand is placed on freshwater. Wallago attu is fast growing catfish belongs to the family siluridae has good market demand having

Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 665-694, April 2026.ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Seasonal changes in freshwater ecosystems influence fish resource use through both environmental and biological factors, but year‐round studies that include ice‐covered months have been lacking. We investigated seasonal variation in the stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) using year‐round monthly sampling of the fish ...

Attractants in plant protein-based diets for the carnivorous largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides
Scientia Agricola, 2004 Adding attractants can improve acceptability of artificial diets by carnivorous fish fry and fingerlings, increasing intake of unpalatable feeds and improving growth rate, while reducing feeding time and feeding wastes.

eDNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Depth-Structured Variation of Coral Reef Fish
FishesGlobal coral reef ecosystems face various levels of disturbance pressure. Understanding the depth-structured variation in coral reef fish communities can help us to better grasp and predict the adaptive changes of the ecosystem under different stressors.

Origin of subgenomes in the circumboreal, allopolyploid, carnivorous plant Drosera anglica
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Premise The parentage of the widespread allopolyploid Drosera anglica, a member of the carnivorous sundew genus, remains uncertain despite over 100 years of morphological, cytological, and, more recently, molecular study. Methods Using transcriptomic and genomic data from 12 species of Drosera sect. Drosera, including four D.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We documented arboreal, multi‐species mammal latrines in montane cloud forests of Costa Rica by surveying 169 trees across 29 species. Latrines were found exclusively on Ficus tuerckheimii, with 11 occurrences across two mountain ranges and an additional observation in Honduras.

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...
