Dietary niche overlap and resource partitioning among six steppe passerines of Central Spain using DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesIbis, Volume 165, Issue 3, Page 905-923, July 2023., 2023
Trophic niche partitioning is a mechanism that facilitates the coexistence of ecologically similar species by sharing their resource use. However, detailed information of the trophic niche in insectivorous birds is usually limited by the lack of accurate identification of consumed food resources.

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Prey size is more representative than prey taxa when measuring dietary overlap in sympatric forest bats

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1407-1419, November 2022., 2022
Sympatric forest bats appear to coexist with high dietary overlap. Analyzing bat diets by size classes, as opposed to only species, provided an alternative interpretation of dietary richness and overlap that may more accurately represent predator perceptions of prey.

RNA meets toxicology: efficacy indicators from the experimental design of RNAi studies for insect pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 3215-3225, August 2022., 2022
Pest management use of RNAi is moving forward, but fragmented and complicated. With support of a machine learning approach experimental factors that are valuable indicators for efficacy in RNAi were identified and revealed parallels to traditional chemical toxicology and potential to improve future RNAi research.

Altered structure of bat–prey interaction networks in logged tropical forests revealed by metabarcoding

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 22, Page 5844-5857, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Habitat degradation is pervasive across the tropics and is particularly acute in Southeast Asia, with major implications for biodiversity. Much research has addressed the impact of degradation on species diversity; however, little is known about how ecological interactions are altered, including those that constitute important ecosystem ...

MEDI: Macronutrient Extraction and Determination from invertebrates, a rapid, cheap and streamlined protocol

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 593-601, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Macronutrients, comprising carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, underpin many ecological processes, but their quantification in ecological studies is often inaccurate and laborious, requiring large investments of time and bulk samples, which make individual‐level studies impossible. This study presents Macronutrient Extraction and Determination

Reduced Susceptibility Towards Commercial Bait Insecticides in Field German Cockroach (Blattodea: Ectobiidae) Populations From California [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Economic Entomology, 2021
AbstractGel bait insecticides have been extensively used to manage the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Blattodea: Ectobiidae), but issues with reduced effectiveness of such formulations are becoming increasingly common. We collected five field strains of German cockroaches in California and evaluated them against five commercial bait ...
