Pests for Dinner: Dietary Composition of Insectivorous Bats in a Fragmented Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insectivorous bats are key predators of a wide array of arthropods, including species that act as disease vectors and pests, yet such ecological roles remain poorly studied in tropical regions. In this study, we aimed to describe the diet of five insectivorous bat species from the genera Balantiopteryx, Myotis, Mormoops, and Pteronotus inhabiting a ...

Degradation strategies for structural characterization of insoluble synthetic polymers by mass spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 44, Issue 6, Page 989-1012, November/December 2025.
Abstract With the advent of soft ionization techniques such as electrospray (ESI) and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) to produce intact gas‐phase ions from nonvolatile macromolecules, mass spectrometry has become an essential technique in the field of polymeric materials.

Effect of the interaction between Lactobacillus casei and hydrolyzed yeast on the sexual competitiveness, survival, and fecundity of Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1681-1690, October 2025.
Abstract Enriching the diets of sterile fruit flies with bacterial species prior to their release has been shown to improve their survival and sexual competitiveness. However, most of the bacteria associated with fruit flies are enterobacteria, and some species have been classified as opportunistic pathogens.
