Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim More species‐rich communities are often assumed to contain more specialist species with narrower niches and smaller ranges. Stronger interspecific competition in species‐rich communities is thought to be a key mechanism explaining these patterns.

Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]
, 2018 Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 697-703, June 2025.ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

Range‐Wide Assessment of the Tasmanian Devil Gut Microbiome
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.We conducted a comprehensive assessment of gut microbiomes at 10 locations across Tasmania, utilizing molecular methods such as 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and diet metabarcoding to investigate the influences of diet, location, sex, and age. Contrary to the prevailing notion that diet is a main driver of gut microbiome differences, we found that ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.We monitored 3462 wild Southern Bent‐wing Bats over 7 years with PIT‐tags and readers at key roosts to derive seasonal emergence and return times of age‐sex cohorts. Our findings indicate that cohorts whose resource requirements are exacerbated by stage of the reproductive cycle show significant changes in emergence and return times and may increase ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Recent surveys in the Congolian rainforest have improved knowledge of bat diversity, but data on free‐tailed bats remain scarce. A male Mops tomensis, previously known only from São Tomé, was captured in Equatorial Guinea, extending its range to mainland Africa.
