Shearing Tooth Morphology May Allow Sharks to Access Higher Trophic Levels at Smaller Sizes
Predator morphology imposes limitations on prey selection due to biomechanical constraints, making some prey functionally inaccessible and thereby constraining predator trophic niches. We assessed how two key components of trophic morphology—tooth shape and body size—affect prey selectivity and trophic niche in two sympatric sharks with contrasting ...

Cercariae (Digenea: Strigeidae, Diplostomidae) in Biomphalaria straminea (Planorbidae) from a rice field in Northeastern Argentina [PDF]
The rice fields can provide habitats for many species of aquatic invertebrates, as insects, molluscs, crustaceans; and vertebrates, as fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds, which may act as hosts in the life cycles of digenean parasites. In this context,

This study evaluates the opportunities and challenges of using DNA metabarcoding of river macroinvertebrates for routine ecological status assessment under the EU Water Framework Directive. By reanalysing data from rivers in north‐west Spain, it identifies key sources of false positives and negatives, compares bulk and eDNA sampling with traditional ...

Invasive species invoke a lifetime of trophic change in native stream fishes
Abstract Trophic interactions operate across the lifetime of an individual organism, yet our understanding of these processes is largely limited to a single life stage or moment in time. Management and conservation implications of this knowledge gap are particularly important, given the mounting number, spread, and ecological impacts of invasive ...
