Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy
This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Some parasitic birds may destroy unsuitable host nests through “Farming behavior” to induce re‐nesting, thereby creating new opportunities for parasitism. Despite its potential significance, this behavior has been documented in only a few brood‐parasitic species.

Supplemental feeding as experimental tool to understand why birds do not lay earlier in the season
The timing of avian reproduction might be affected by the costs of egg production in early spring. To study these costs, supplemental feeding experiments have been conducted where birds are provided with food prior to egg laying. We discuss the opportunities and pitfalls of such experiments.
