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

Wildlife 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 –

Diptera

, 2007
Lower Diptera The paraphyly of this assemblage (=”Nematocera”) was suspected for three decades (Hennig 1968, 1973, 1981, Wood and Borkent 1989) and demonstrated in recent cladistic analyses (Sinclair 1992, Oosterbroek and Courtney 1995, Blagoderov et al. 2007).

Unexpected anthropophagic behaviour in Anopheles quadriannulatus. [PDF]

, 2001
The strongly anthropophilic behaviour of Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae), the most important malaria vector in Africa, has been demonstrated by field and laboratory studies. Other members of the An.

Hunting as anthropogenic sink of biomass or source of carrion? A brief case study based on German hunting bags

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dead biomass is a crucial nutrient source for ecosystems. Although hunting residues can subsidize numerous scavenging organisms and are known to drive important zoogeochemical processes at very different scales in the ecosystem, this has received little attention.

Large parameter uncertainty persists in soil food web models integrating stoichiometry, respiration and assimilation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

Oviposition Activity and Ecological Patterns of Medically Important Culicidae in an Agroforestry System in the Atlantic Forest, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Understanding mosquito diversity in natural environments under anthropogenic influence or undergoing vegetation recovery is essential for comprehending potential behavioral changes and adaptations in the activity patterns of these populations.

Invasive insects outperform their native counterparts

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Invasive alien species cause substantial ecological damage worldwide, driving biodiversity loss and negatively impacting human livelihoods. Although invasive insects have some of the most severe impacts, the traits associated with their invasiveness remain unclear.
