An invasive prey alters local and landscape contributions of sources and sinks for an endangered predator. [PDF]

open access: yesEcology
Abstract Source‐sink dynamics are a cornerstone of theory for spatially structured populations. Despite long‐standing interest, understanding temporal variation in source‐sink dynamics in wild populations remains rare. Biological invasions have the potential to alter source‐sink dynamics for native species, which may change over time as invasions ...

Effects of Ingestion of Lithic Particles on Growth of the Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata (Caenogastropoda, Ampullariidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Lithic particles are a common feature in the digestive tract of freshwater snails. Their role in the digestive processes has been demonstrated in some microphytophagous and detritivorous species, as they enhance growth, assimilation and reproduction.
