Small lakes in big landscape : multi-scale drivers of littoral ecosystem in alpine lakes. [PDF]

, 2016
In low nutrient alpine lakes, the littoral zone is the most productive part of the ecosystem, and it is a biodiversity hotspot. It is not entirely clear how the scale and physical heterogeneity of surrounding catchment, its ecological composition, and ...

Pests for Dinner: Dietary Composition of Insectivorous Bats in a Fragmented Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insectivorous bats are key predators of a wide array of arthropods, including species that act as disease vectors and pests, yet such ecological roles remain poorly studied in tropical regions. In this study, we aimed to describe the diet of five insectivorous bat species from the genera Balantiopteryx, Myotis, Mormoops, and Pteronotus inhabiting a ...

Geographic Variation in the Diet of Red Knot (Calidris canutus) Chicks Reflects Local Prey Communities

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe and compare the diets of an Arctic‐breeding shorebird, the Red Knot (Calidris canutus), across three geographically distinct breeding sites. We aimed to document the dietary patterns and identify key prey groups that characterise each population's foraging ecology.

Experimental droughts in mesocosms reveal a gradient of tolerance in Alpine stream macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S352-S363, December 2025.
Abstract Prolonged droughts, driven by climate change and human pressures on water resources, are increasing in frequency and intensity, particularly impacting Alpine rivers. Benthic macroinvertebrates are one of the most important structural and functional components of Alpine lotic ecosystems.

Kétszárnyúak (Diptera) minőségi és mennyiségi előfordulási viszonyai egy alföldi mocsárban | Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the distribution of Diptera in a lowland marsh [PDF]

, 2005
A vízi és a vizes élőhelyek Diptera-együtteseiről viszonylag kevés ismerettel rendelkezünk. Ez elsősorban az azonosítási problémákra vezethető vissza, mivel a legtöbb kétszárnyúcsalád lárváit nem ismerjük kielégítően, vagy pedig a lárvák morfológiai ...

Long Story of Long Antennae: Mesozoic Origins of the Subfamily Macrocerinae (Diptera: Keroplatidae)

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1225-1248, October 2025.
Abstract The early evolutionary history of the Macrocerinae subfamily (Diptera: Keroplatidae) is poorly understood. However, new material from the Cretaceous, particularly in amber, provides a better understanding of this subject. We reassign the oldest known species of Macrocerinae, Hegalari minor Blagoderov & Arillo, 2002, from the amber of Álava ...
