Stable isotope data indicate origins of mislabelled historical bird specimens

Ibis, EarlyView.
Natural history specimens provide valuable insights across diverse research fields, but those needing more accurate metadata have limited scientific value. We applied stable isotope analysis to investigate the origin of 19th century Atlantic Forest bird specimens attributed to the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco, which are the only records ...

Species traits modulate ecological release in island red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We studied the species ability to undergo an ecological release process in the red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae) when colonising species‐depauperate environments, focusing on different aspects of their niche. We have found that the ability to expand their niche is highly dependent on the species trophic strategy, with specialist species being ...
