Diet‐Faeces Trophic Discrimination Factor and Gut Passage Time of an Aotearoa New Zealand Insectivorous Bat, Chalinolobus tuberculatus, Determined via Controlled Feeding Experiment

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studying bat diet is challenging due to their rarity, cryptic nature, nocturnal habits, and protected status. Stable isotope analysis of bat faeces offers a promising noninvasive and nonlethal method to understand their trophic interactions.

A putative case of honeyeater‐driven sympatric speciation associated with corolla shape shift resulting in a new New Caledonian Oxera species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
This study investigates the morphology and ecology of two sympatric species of the Oxera (Lamiaceae) genus in New Caledonia along with their respective putative pollinators. We find that two species of honeyeaters Glycifohia undulata and Philemon diemenensis are likely the preferred pollinators, respectively, of O.

Digitised herbarium specimen data reveal a climate change‐related trend to an earlier, shorter Canadian Arctic flowering season, and phylogenetic signal in Arctic flowering times

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Arctic is experiencing some of the world's most rapid changes in climate. Arctic plant flowering time responses to climate change are understudied. Globally, conflicting evidence exists on whether flowering time responses to temperature are evolutionarily conserved.

Floral scent chemodiversity is associated with high floral visitor but low bacterial richness on flowers

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Floral scents are complex blends of volatile compounds, yet the influence of floral scent chemodiversity, the richness, evenness, and functional disparity of phytochemical compounds in shaping interactions with flower visitors and microbes remains largely unexplored.

Interaction between floral rewards and floral symmetry shapes diversification dynamics in Amazonian trees

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Floral zygomorphy, or monosymmetry, is thought to have a positive effect on the diversification rates of angiosperms, but its true impact is still an open topic. Given the controversy surrounding this matter, our study evaluates whether rewards such as nectar and pollen produced by floral structures evolve in correlation with floral symmetry ...
