Dietary flexibility and high arthropod availability prevent food limitation in a mountain population of breeding Northern Wheatears

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Mountain ecosystems are under strong environmental pressure and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, which is likely to lead to forest expansion and loss of open alpine grasslands, threatening many specialized species. However, for most alpine birds, even basic ecological knowledge, such as their diet, remains limited, restricting our ...

Dietary selectivity mediates niche overlap and interspecific competition in a reedbed warbler community in southern Europe

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.

An investigation into the diet of elephant fish (Callorhinchus milii) in the waters of Aotearoa/New Zealand

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are increasingly understood to be an important part of ocean ecosystems, but their ecological role is unclear. Callorhinchus milii (elephant fish) is a chimaera species endemic to Aotearoa/New Zealand and southern Australian waters.

Filter feeders living on suspension feeders: New insights into the lifestyle and distribution of Arcturidae Dana, 1849 (Crustacea: Isopoda) around Iceland

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract The focus of the present study was on arcturid isopods occurring in the subarctic region around Iceland. Data from two decades of sampling with an epibenthic sledge (EBS) during numerous expeditions of the BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters; 1992–2004) and IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology; 2011—ongoing ...

Phenology, Mating Behaviour, and Ecology of a Wild New Zealand Nurseryweb Spider (Dolomedes minor)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Population dynamics are key to the understanding of mating systems, and in particular, sex ratios provide an insight into the evolutionary pressures governing a mating system. Variation in sex ratios can influence mate competition, parental investment strategies, and ultimately shape mating rates and the reproductive success of individuals within a ...

In the Bag: Leaf Litter‐Filled Artificial Cover Objects Reveal Urban Habitat Associations for Predatory Invertebrates (Onychophora: Peripitoides novaezealandiae and Araneae: Uliodon spp.)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Velvet worms and vagrant spiders are two predatory invertebrate taxa that can occupy urban forests, but understanding their habitat associations in these environments has been hampered by a lack of effective monitoring methods. We assessed how forest age and type affected the numbers of velvet worms and vagrant spiders detected within leaf litter ...
