Fossil insect-feeding traces indicate unrecognized evolutionary history and biodiversity on Australia's iconic Eucalyptus. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Fossilized plant–insect herbivore associations provide fundamental information about the assembly of terrestrial communities through geologic time. However, fossil evidence of associations originating in deep time and persisting to the modern day is scarce. We studied the insect herbivore damage found on 284 Eucalyptus frenguelliana leaves from

Foraging activity by an ecosystem engineer, the superb lyrebird, 'farms' its invertebrate prey. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
We show that the superb lyrebird, an ecosystem engineer, undertakes a unique form of resource farming through its foraging activity. By modulating litter and soil habitats on the forest floor, lyrebirds create conditions conducive to their invertebrate prey, increasing richness and biomass and resulting in a remarkable farming feedback loop.

Multi‐marker DNA metabarcoding reveals spatial and sexual variation in the diet of a scarce woodland bird

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) have been declining in the UK since the 1970s. Using DNA metabarcoding, we wanted to increase ecological knowledge associated with Hawfinch, to aid their recovery. We found 49 and 90 prey taxa in the diet, which can improve our knowledge of why Hawfinch persist within certain areas of the UK. Abstract Avian diet
