Effects of Engineered Dam Releases on Benthic Assemblages During Drought and Comparison With Unregulated Reaches

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River regulation following damming is often associated with deleterious downstream effects, in large part due to reduced total discharge and disruption of seasonal flooding. These effects would be expected to be exacerbated by drought, particularly extended drought.

Dietary differentiation of two co‐occurring common bat species (Eptesicus nilssonii and Pipistrellus pygmaeus)

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Sympatric bat species can co‐exist and avoid interspecific competition via niche differentiation e.g. diet. Detecting dietary differences can be achieved by comparing dietary niches of sympatric and allopatric populations. If dietary overlap is higher in sympatry versus allopatry, co‐occurrence may be altering the dietary niche of the species.

Management of Invasive Insect Species: An Example of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster, 1771) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

open access: yesDoğal Afetler ve Çevre Dergisi, 2018
International trade plays an important role in the transport of many insect species from one place to another. Anoplophora chinensis (Forster, 1771) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is one of the harmful insects that can be transported through the imported ...

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Coleoptera

open access: yes, 2001
28 Coleoptera Tarsi are five­segmented in most groups of Coleoptera. However reduction in number of tarsomeres occurs in several lineages (e.g. Chrysomeloidea). The ventral side of the proximal tarsomeres is covered with a very dense layer of hairs in males or both sexes of many coleopteran species (Fig. 3d, 5B,G,H).

Fear or feast: small mammal activity increases in the presence of carcasses despite increased threat of predation by black‐backed jackals

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Food acquisition is arguably the most important, and among the riskiest behaviours for most mammals. Carcasses are an ephemeral resource for many scavengers, particularly black‐backed jackals Lupulella mesomelas that prey on small mammals. Landscape of fear theory suggests that prey species should reduce their activity in areas of high predator ...

Beetles (Coleoptera)

open access: yes, 2014
The Coleoptera order (beetles) comprises the most species-rich group among the insect class, corresponding to approximately 40% of this class and 30% of all animals, encompassing more than 350,000 described species distributed worldwide (Lawrence 1982; Lawrence and Britton 1994; Arnett and Thomas 2001; Arnett et al. 2002).
