Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Uneven Culturable Yeast Communities Harbored by Two Sympatric Stingless Bee Species: Scaptotrigona depilis and Tetragona clavipes

Yeast, EarlyView.
To explore the yeast diversity associated with Brazilian stingless bees, we collected samples from bees and their provisions. Sympatric bee species harbor distinct yeast communities, providing insights into bees' foraging choices. Moreover, these communities are dominated by specific taxa with similar metabolic profiles.

A secured cloud‐medical data sharing with A‐BRSA and Salp ‐Ant Lion Optimisation Algorithm

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sharing medical data among healthcare providers, researchers, and patients is crucial for efficient healthcare services. Cloud‐assisted smart healthcare (s‐healthcare) systems have made it easier to store EHRs effectively. However, the traditional encryption algorithms used to secure this data can be vulnerable to attacks if the encryption key

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

From the predator to the prey: a case study of the vulnerability of Harmonia axyridis to aggressive competitors

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The level of aggressiveness of an individual is a factor that shapes intraguild predation (IGP) interactions. In Nabis americoferus, high aggressiveness leads to an increase in attack rate and IGP against Harmonia axyridis. Moreover, the absence of extraguild prey seems to exacerbate IGP. In docile N.

Unravelling Evolutionary Dynamics of Female Sexual Cannibalism and Male Reproductive Strategies in Spiders

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...
