Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Adults of the aquatic beetle Regimbartia attenuata can survive passage through the digestive tracts of six predator (frog) species, including a non‐native bullfrog. Their active movement through the gut likely facilitates their escape through the cloaca, irrespective of predator species or size.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We integrated fish and macroinvertebrate data with species distribution models and spatial clustering to delineate coherent freshwater bioregions. The resulting bioregions captured complementary biodiversity patterns and key transition zones more effectively than single‐taxon or UPGMA clustering.

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

Microbial Community Dynamics in Early Tufa Biofilms
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.Microbial succession shapes the early development of tufa biofilms in karst freshwater systems, with prokaryotic communities stabilizing rapidly and microeukaryotes contributing to extracellular polymeric substance production and carbonate entrapment. Site‐specific hydrodynamics and organic inputs drive community specialization, ultimately influencing ...
