Predicting the breeding distribution of wader species across climatic and environmental gradients
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Developing and applying species distribution models is particularly urgent for species currently facing high levels of environmental change. Waders (Charadrii) are among the most species‐rich groups of birds breeding at higher latitudes and the one where species are declining fastest. Iceland holds a large part of the global population of several wader

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Persistence and dynamic of forest snails in the Western Carpathians over the last 40 thousand years
Boreas, EarlyView.The glacial/interglacial cycles have shaped the landscape of temperate Europe for the past 2.5 million years, with open landscapes prevailing during the glacial and forested landscapes during the interglacial periods. However, the survival and recolonization strategies of temperate forest species during glacial phases remain poorly understood and hotly
