On traits matching and the modular organization of food web and occurrence networks
What mechanisms shape ecological networks? In Paraná River piscivores, species traits and abundance scaling promote modular structures. Our findings reveal how communities self‐organize and highlight the conditions needed to sustain them. Abstract Modularity and nestedness have been observed recurrently across different ecological networks, including ...

Abstract Sex estimation represents a fundamental step in forensic identification protocols, traditionally relying on morphoscopic pelvic assessment. However, the increasing integration of machine learning approaches and population‐specific validation requirements necessitate comprehensive evaluation of alternative methodologies. This study provides the

This study examines the ecophysiological responses of common waxbills to temperature variation in Portugal. We measured body condition and basal metabolic rate (BMR) during summer and winter across two regions in Portugal. Body condition was negatively correlated with temperature, while the relationship between BMR and temperature varied seasonally. In

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...
