Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Foraging signals in the Neotropical termite Nasutitermes corniger: The role of castes and intercolonial perception

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We analyzed the role of foraging signals in an important neotropical nasute termite species, including the effect of various gland and caste origins of foraging signals, the response of groups with distinct caste compositions, and intercolonial perception of these signals.

The preference for energetic resources is positively associated with predatory activity in ants

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
We found that ants exhibit a stronger preference for foraging for carbohydrates and lipids (energetic nutrients) compared to amino acids. The increase in foraging for energetic nutrients compared to amino acids is positively correlated with foraging in larvae (insect predation). The nutrient preference between foraging for energetic nutrients and amino

Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.
