Testing the Sentinel Method: Live and Artificial Prey Display Contrasting Patterns of Predation Across an Urban Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We examined predation intensity on live and artificial prey across a natural‐to‐urban gradient in Suzhou, China. Our findings revealed that artificial prey underestimated predation rates compared to live prey, with different patterns observed between avian and insect predators along the urbanization gradient. While artificial prey offers advantages for

Blood indices of sheep fed with ensiled signal grass (Brachiaria decumbens)

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 1985-2002, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Brachiaria species, particularly B. decumbens, is a key ruminant feed in the tropics but contains steroidal saponins that may cause toxicity, raising concerns for small ruminant farmers. Eighteen 6‐month‐old sheep were randomly assigned to three treatments over a 90‐day feeding trial: Negative control (fresh P.

Changing bryozoan fauna in Otago Harbour reflects growing urbanisation and globalisation

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 957-978, December 2025.
ABSTRACT A comparison between historic reports dating from 1884 (78 records of 35 species) to the bryozoan fauna present today (98 colonies of 14 species) reveals considerable faunal change in Otago Harbour / Te Wai Ōtākou (45° 50'S 170° 38'E) in Dunedin, east coast of South Island, Aotearoa New Zealand.
