Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Sympatric bat species can co‐exist and avoid interspecific competition via niche differentiation e.g. diet. Detecting dietary differences can be achieved by comparing dietary niches of sympatric and allopatric populations. If dietary overlap is higher in sympatry versus allopatry, co‐occurrence may be altering the dietary niche of the species.

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus
Yeast, EarlyView.Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

Microsporidia parásitos de larvas de mosquito de la Costa Pacífica del Chocó
Caldasia, 1993 Two genera of Microsporidia were found infecting mosquito larvae in three localities on the Pacific coast of Choco. Vavraia sp. (Microsporida: Pleistophoridae) was found in larvae of Wyeomyia circumcincta, W. simmsi and Anopheles albimanus collected from
