Seasonal changes of stable isotope signals in the primary feathers of plains sharp‐tailed grouse
Stable isotopes from feathers were used to estimate diet in plains sharp‐tailed grouse during the summer. Grasshoppers (Acrididae) are likely the main contributors of proteinaceous nutrients used for feather synthesis in this species. Abstract Stable isotopes of a consumer organism can be used to estimate the proportional utilization of food items that

Aliens in caves: the global dimension of biological invasions in subterranean ecosystems
ABSTRACT Alien species are a significant threat to natural ecosystems and human economies. Despite global efforts to address this challenge, the documented number of alien species is rapidly increasing worldwide. However, the magnitude of the impact of alien species may vary significantly across habitats.

Abstract Trophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self‐regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. However, empirical evidence for the effects of megafauna introductions on the abundance and richness of other organisms such as ...
