Establishing macroecological trait datasets: digitalization, extrapolation, and validation of diet preferences in terrestrial mammals worldwide [PDF]
, 2014 Ecological trait data are essential for understanding the broad-scale distribution of biodiversity and its response to global change. For animals, diet represents a fundamental aspect of species’ evolutionary adaptations, ecological and functional roles,

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We studied how female northern bats, Eptesicus nilssonii, deal with the energetic demands of raising a pup over the short summer period in southern Norway. Our results display an interesting pattern in which female bats increase their foraging time after parturition in comparison to the gestation period.

Hummingbird Feeders Can Provide eDNA for Detection of Nectar‐Feeding Bats
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.This study monitors nectar‐feeding bats (Leptonycteris nivalis, Leptonycteris yerbabuenae, and Choeronycteris mexicana) through eDNA swabs of hummingbird feeders collected by citizen scientists. Using novel qPCR assays, we successfully detected L. yerbabuenae and C. mexicana in a grand majority of samples. Previously only known to occur in the U.S.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.We collected environmental DNA (eDNA) from river and stream water samples and processed it through DNA extraction, amplification and metabarcoding. Species were identified from sequence data and compared with camera trapping data to evaluate the effectiveness of eDNA for monitoring wild mammals in north‐western Bhutan.
