Dietary flexibility and high arthropod availability prevent food limitation in a mountain population of breeding Northern Wheatears

Ibis, EarlyView.
Mountain ecosystems are under strong environmental pressure and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, which is likely to lead to forest expansion and loss of open alpine grasslands, threatening many specialized species. However, for most alpine birds, even basic ecological knowledge, such as their diet, remains limited, restricting our ...

Dietary selectivity mediates niche overlap and interspecific competition in a reedbed warbler community in southern Europe

Ibis, EarlyView.
Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

Seasonal variation in preen gland secretions of Tristram's Storm Petrel (Hydrobates tristrami)

Ibis, EarlyView.
Preen gland secretions are known to vary depending on sex, season and species and are thought to play essential roles in avian life history. However, their chemical composition and functions remain largely unclear in Procellariiform seabirds with well‐developed olfactory senses. Storm petrels, known for their distinctive body odour, may use preen gland

Not all crickets are equal: selective shrike predation highlights the conservation value of diverse arthropod communities to grassland birds

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding dietary preferences and prey selection is pivotal for interpreting the ecology and conservation needs of threatened species. We investigated the diet composition and prey selection of the Red‐backed Shrike Lanius collurio in a montane grassland of the central Italian Apennines, with special regard to sex‐related differences and the ...

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial
