Relative Importance of Resource and Condition Niche for Invertebrates in Water‐Filled Treeholes
ABSTRACT Water‐filled treeholes offer an ideal system to disentangle the roles of resource availability and abiotic conditions in community assembly. This study hypothesized that niches related to consumable resources and microhabitat conditions play distinct roles in shaping community structure, with niche differentiation being more strongly ...

The ancestor of today's pinapinao, Hawaiian Megalagrion damselflies, diverged from Ischnurinae around 51 MA and likely evolved for over 20 MA before colonizing the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. An ancestor of Megalagrion colonized the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and diversified into ecological niches with four new breeding habitats and two new gill ...

Selective predation by a harpacticoid copepod on ciliates in phytotelmata: a laboratory experiment [PDF]
Copepods are the most numerous metazoans in water-filled phytotelmata formed by Heliconia and Calathea floral bracts in cloud forests of Cordillera de la Costa, Northern Venezuela. We estimated the potential effect of copepods on ciliate community structure in this habitat with a laboratory experiment.

ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.
