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.

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.

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
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 –

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).

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 ...

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).
