Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2009 The immature stages of Neotropical ticks are poorly known and in many cases have not been described. This work presents a morphological description of Amblyomma brasiliense larvae (F1) and a redescription of nymphs (F1). A. brasiliense is reported as one

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bottom‐up effects play a critical role in shaping community structure and trophic interactions within detritus‐based food webs. Coarse deadwood supports high biodiversity and contributes to detrital food webs during its decomposition process.
