Digestion in the arachnid Mischonyx squalidus as a probable source of lipids to synthesize opiliones defense and communication molecules [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOpiliones (Arachnida) comprises approximately 7,000 species. Due to their lack of venom glands, their defense is mainly based on the secretion of scent glands, which also play roles in communication and antimicrobial activity.

Insufficient Logging Intervals Impede Upper Soil Recovery in Temperate Beech Forests: Insights From Two Case-Studies in Poland. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examined the effects of forest operations on soil microarthropod biodiversity and litter decomposition in temperate beech forests, comparing disturbed and undisturbed soils across different harvesting timelines. While litter decomposition remained unaffected, significant soil disturbances were found in areas impacted by machine passage, with

Metabarcoding Reveals the Dietary Patterns of Bats Within a Unique European Habitat, the Pasture-Dominated Landscapes of Ireland. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated the diets of two common insectivorous bat species, Plecotus auritus and Pipistrellus pygmaeus, across the pastureland‐dominated landscape of Ireland. Using metabarcoding and next‐generation sequencing, we analysed 4627 faecal samples collected over three years from twelve maternity roosts during gestation, lactation, and post‐lactation ...

The type of leg lost affects habitat use but not survival in a non‐regenerating arthropod
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Finding shelter and surviving encounters with predators are pervasive challenges for animals. These challenges may be exacerbated after individuals experience bodily damage.
