Go big or go fish: morphological specializations in carnivorous bats [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Specialized carnivory is relatively uncommon across mammals, and bats constitute one of the few groups in which this diet has evolved multiple times. While size and morphological adaptations for carnivory have been identified in other taxa, it is unclear what phenotypic traits characterize the relatively recent evolution of carnivory in bats.

The Guild Composition for Modelling Fish Community in Banjaran River, Purwokerto

open access: yesBiosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2018
Over exploitation of consumed fishes causes declining of  targeted fish populations that will lead to a cascade effect to the guild compositions. The change of carnivorous, omnivorous and herbivorous fish populations drives to the food chain destructions

Point, alpha and beta diversity of carnivorous fish along a depth gradient [PDF]

open access: yesAquatic Living Resources, 2002
The catch from bottom longline stations sampled from a series of research cruises around Lanzarote and Fuerteventura (Canary Islands, NE Atlantic) was analysed in terms of fish distribution, density and diversity. The distribution of the number of species and individuals caught per station appeared to fit well the Poisson and Exponential distribution ...

Initial Development of Carnival Fish of Sweet Water: Systematic Review of Literature

open access: yesFronteiras: Journal of Social, Technological and Environmental Science, 2020
The initial development of carnivorous fish in farms requires intensive care regarding nutrition and management, in order to avoid the stress that can lead to cannibalistic behavior, a major cause of mortality in larvae and juveniles of cultivated ...

Effects of fishing on the trophic structure of carnivorous fish assemblages from shallow rocky bottoms of the Mediterranean Sea and the temperate Atlantic Ocean

open access: yes, 2022
Here, we assess whether fishery exploitation affects the trophic structure of carnivorous fish. We censused fish and analysed the stable isotope ratios of C and N of species targeted by fishermen in areas open to fishing and marine protected areas (MPAs)
