Investigating the behavioral responses of nektonic and benthic tadpoles elicited by the presence of a predatory nektonic fish

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Different defensive strategies are used by tadpoles to avoid or escape from predators, and it is possible that differences in the microhabitat of prey and predators influence the defensive strategies used by tadpoles. Therefore, we experimentally tested whether the presence of a nektonic fish predator (Oreochromis niloticus) reduces the time of ...

Physiological and Behavioural Strategies of Bats From Arid Environments

open access: yesMammal Review, EarlyView.
Deserts are characterized by high ambient temperatures, intense solar radiation and low water availability. Desert bats are smaller, have lower energy expenditures, lower water losses, higher wing aspect ratios and lower wing loadings than bats living in mesic environments.

Scat DNA Applications for Low‐Density Carnivore Survey: Techniques, Efficiency and Future Directions

open access: yesMammal Review, EarlyView.
We reviewed 338 studies encompassing mostly Felidae, Canidae and Mustelidae species throughout the world, confirming scat DNA as a reliable genetic source for many applications. The findings here offer guidance for future studies on low‐density carnivores, helping to design cost‐effective research and improving data quality for conservation efforts ...
