Specialist or generalist? Feeding ecology of the Malagasy poison frog Mantella aurantiaca [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We studied the diet of a population of free-ranging Mantella aurantiaca, an alkaloid-containing poison frog from Madagascar. As in other poison frogs, this species is thought to sequester alkaloids from arthropod prey.

Moult is associated with higher diversity of food items in the diet of Common Bulbuls (Pycnonotus barbatus) in Cameroon

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 3, Page 803-811, July 2025.
Moult is an essential part of birds' annual cycle, and requires sufficient intake of energy and nutrients, but we understand little about how such nutritional requirements are met by wild birds. Using faecal metabarcoding, we analysed the diet of moulting and non‐moulting Common Bulbuls Pycnonotus barbatus, captured in Cameroon.

Sexual dimorphism, fresh water dispersal range, and prey items of Marine toads (Rhinella marina) in Lennox Head, Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The invasive cane or marine toad (Rhinella marina) has spread across much of Australia since its initial introduction in 1935. Naturally found in Central and South America, R.

Foraging niche partitioning within a recently established guild of falcons

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 3, Page 734-749, July 2025.
Ecological theory predicts that coexisting species should exhibit realized niche differentiation to minimize competition. However, little is known about patterns of niche differentiation when ‘newcomer’ species spontaneously colonize a new region, leading to novel sympatric conditions.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis on urban arthropod diversity

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 447-464, July 2025.
Our results evidence that urbanization is associated with a lower mean diversity of arthropods. We also detected a higher variance of arthropod diversity in urban than in rural habitats. Reported data suggest that cities hold a great potential for arthropod conservation if adequate measures are implemented. Abstract Urbanization is rapidly expanding at
