Comparative morphology of the feeding apparatus of Staphylinine beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
The mouthparts and protarsi of adult rove-beetles of the Staphylinine group are examined in detail. We provide descriptions and image plates based on scanning electron micrographs taken from 36 species representing all 10 subfamilies comprising this ...

Different feeding strategies in scavenging amphipods and their implications for colonisation success in times of retreating glaciers. [PDF]
Background: Scavenger guilds, composed of a variety of species, co-existing in the same habitat, are responsible for biomass transformation throughout the food web. Niche partitioning among them can manifest in different feeding strategies, e.g.
