Moult is associated with higher diversity of food items in the diet of Common Bulbuls (Pycnonotus barbatus) in Cameroon

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 3, Page 803-811, July 2025.
Moult is an essential part of birds' annual cycle, and requires sufficient intake of energy and nutrients, but we understand little about how such nutritional requirements are met by wild birds. Using faecal metabarcoding, we analysed the diet of moulting and non‐moulting Common Bulbuls Pycnonotus barbatus, captured in Cameroon.

Hot node limitations and impact of taxonomic resolution on phylogenetic divergence patterns: A case study on Ecuadorian ethnomedicinal flora

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 644-653, May 2025.
Novel phylogenetic approaches have emerged in recent years to study traditional medicinal plants, aiming to identify potential sources of new drugs. This line of research holds considerable promise yet remains in its early stages. Here, we examine the prevalent methods employed in the field, revealing the impact of methodological choices that have ...

Review of larval food plant associations of the Agaristinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract The Australian Agaristinae comprises a small group of predominantly diurnal moths with aposematic larvae and adults that are assumed to be unpalatable to most predators. A critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.

Evolutionary and ecological insights from Cytinus: A plant within a plant

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 308-317, March 2025.
Cytinus is a group of plants that grow within other plants: a parasitic life cycle that has evolved just four times in the plant kingdom. Cytinus species are externally invisible for most of their life, emerging from their hosts only to flower and set seed.
