Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding the dietary dynamics of marine megafauna is essential for interpreting ecological interactions and assessing environmental changes in marine ecosystems. We analysed temporal trends in the diets of eight megafaunal species, comprising marine mammals, seabirds, and sea turtles.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.A total of 629 gene families were identified to expand in the swamp eel, with five (OLFR, GNAL, PRKG1, NCALD, and PDE1) distributed in olfactory transduction (KEGG map04740). A total of 318 OR genes (289 functional genes, 10 partial genes, and 19 pseudogenes) were annotated in the swamp eel genome, significantly surpassing other fish species.

Host Abundance Predicts Interactive Roles in Neotropical Bat–Bat Fly Interactions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We analyzed the influence of bat functional traits on their importance as hosts in bat–bat fly networks. Our results indicate that bat abundance is the main driver for host importance in Neotropical bat–bat fly interactions. ABSTRACT Host functional traits are known to shape host‐parasite interactions across multiple taxa.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Using feral pigeons in urban environments, we show that microbiome diversity and composition vary seasonally despite stable diet composition. ABSTRACT Gut microbiomes play a crucial role in host physiology and seasonal adaptation. While seasonal shifts in avian gut microbiota are often attributed to seasonal diet variation, environmental factors may be

Effects of dietary salbutamol on growth and carcass composition in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) (Walbaum) : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Physiology) at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2001 Salbutamol, a β2 adrenergic agonist, has been shown to reduce carcass fat and increase muscle mass and improve feed conversion efficiency in pigs. In the present study, the effects of dietary salbutamol at 20 ppm on growth, feed conversion efficiency ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.In Nansi Lake, waterbird guild densities were consistently linked to environmental gradients, with negative responses to nutrients and sediment variables, but positive responses to fish diversity and periphyton. Piscivores specifically favored high dissolved oxygen and low nitrogen conditions.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Consumer–resource interactions can shift from exploitative to mutualistic when reciprocal benefits such as nutrient exchange offset the costs of damage or mortality, though these benefits are often difficult to detect. Carnivorous pitcher plants are typically viewed as exploiters of arthropod prey, yet most visitors escape capture and may gain
