Which Seed Properties Determine the Preferences of Carabid Beetle Seed Predators?
Insects, 2020 Ground beetles are important invertebrate seed predators in temperate agro-ecosystems. However, there is a lack of information regarding which seed properties are important to carabids when they select seeds for consumption.

Conserving ecological functions of frog communities in Borneo requires diverse forest landscapes
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Recent studies suggest that differences in species composition across habitat types lead to increased multifunctionality on the regional scale. However, data about species turnover—and especially complementarity in the functional composition—across ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 The radula is the food gathering and processing structure and one important autapomorphy of the Mollusca. It is composed of a chitinous membrane with small, embedded teeth representing the interface between the organism and its ingesta.

Functional diversity in a lipidome [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Lipids are complex molecules generated by cells through enzymatic mechanisms from simpler constituents. Each complex lipid typically consists of a head group with a unique chemical composition that is esterified to hydrophobic tails composed of fatty acyl chains or sphingoid bases.

Burial-induced changes in the seed preferences of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2019 Seeds of many species of plants may survive for a long time in the soil and germinate when brought to the surface, but whether they are subsequently eaten by seed predators is unknown. We examined the preferences of three species of carabids (Coleoptera:

Not just scratching the surface: distinct radular motion patterns in Mollusca
Biology Open, 2020 The radula is the organ for mechanical food processing and an important autapomorphy of Mollusca. Its chitinous membrane, embedding small radular teeth, is moved by the set of muscles resulting in an interaction with the ingesta, tearing it and ...
