First Report on the Diet of the Angolan Flying Squid (Todarodes angolensis) in New Zealand Waters
The Angolan flying squid (Todarodes angolensis) is a southerly distributed, large‐bodied ommastrephid preyed upon by many large marine vertebrates such as the southern elephant seal and deep‐sea squalid sharks. Here, we report its diet in New Zealand waters for the first time, identifying prey items from the stomach contents of 58 adults using ...

Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management
ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...

Systematics and evolution of Nepenthes
Nepenthesis one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, comprising at least 160 species. These species produce highly modified pitchers that have evolved to target a greater variety of nutritional sources, including specific arthropod taxa, leaf ...

Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...
