Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Tree Squirrels Selectively Disperse High‐Quality Acorns Away From Tree Trunks
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Acorn quality and squirrel feeding behavior significantly structured spatial dispersal patterns of two Californian oak species. Non‐infested acorns were preferentially selected for embryo excision and dispersed farther than infested ones. Acorns were fully consumed near tree trunks, signaling rapid feeding in safe refuges, whereas non‐eaten, partially ...

Accuracy of occurrence and abundance estimates from insect metabarcoding
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract DNA metabarcoding—high‐throughput sequencing of barcode regions from bulk samples—has become a key tool for insect biodiversity assessment. Yet, how methodological choices affect the accuracy of metabarcoding data remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we ask: (1) How does the lysis method (non‐destructive lysis vs.

Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.
