The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil
Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic
