Interspecific Associations of the Rare and Endangered Stingray (Styracura schmardae) in Caribbean Sandy‐Bottom Habitats

Ecology and Evolution
Interspecific associations between teleost fishes and rays can enhance foraging efficiency or provide benefits, yet such interactions involving benthic stingrays remain poorly documented.

Interspecific competition between Acartia tonsa and Tisbe sp.

, 2015
Copepod cultures have proven to be of increasing importance for aquaculture and ecotoxicology research. It is therefore crucial to investigate how these cultures can be optimized.

Thermodynamic Evaluation of Dual Substrate Growth

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Various C₁–C₂ compounds are increasingly available through electrochemical reduction of CO2. Although not always suitable as a sole substrate, these compounds can supplement a primary substrate like glucose to enhance microbial growth. Yet, the mechanisms underlying the effects of dual substrate consumption on growth rate and growth yield ...

Den‐Site Behavior of Bengal Foxes (Vulpes bengalensis) Reveals Persistent Use, Social Interactions, and Coexistence in Shared Spaces

Ecology and Evolution
The Bengal fox (Vulpes bengalensis) is a small, den‐obligate, wild canid that faces growing pressures in non‐protected landscapes. In Bangladesh, the species is considered vulnerable, receives minimal conservation attention, and knowledge of many ...

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Individualised niches: an integrative conceptual framework across behaviour, ecology, and evolution

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individuals differ. While seemingly trivial, this insight has nevertheless led to paradigm shifts, as three key fields of organismal biology have seen marked changes in key concepts over the past few decades. In animal behaviour, it has become increasingly recognised that behavioural differences among individuals can be stable over time and ...

Depth-mediated interspecific interaction drives contrasting patterns of community biomass and diversity of aquatic macrophytes in a large plateau lake

Aquatic macrophytes are fundamental structural components in freshwater ecosystems. Understanding the distribution pattern of macrophyte communities is crucial for the management and restoration of freshwater ecosystems.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns
