Pests for Dinner: Dietary Composition of Insectivorous Bats in a Fragmented Tropical Dry Forest

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insectivorous bats are key predators of a wide array of arthropods, including species that act as disease vectors and pests, yet such ecological roles remain poorly studied in tropical regions. In this study, we aimed to describe the diet of five insectivorous bat species from the genera Balantiopteryx, Myotis, Mormoops, and Pteronotus inhabiting a ...

Contrasted effects of human pressure on biodiversity in the UK: a multi‐taxonomic assessment using airborne environmental DNA

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Human activities have significantly modified habitats, resulting in a global biodiversity crisis. In this study, we leveraged the first national‐scale biodiversity survey based on airborne environmental DNA, comparing the effects of three human pressure indices increasing in complexity and scope – a binary urban–rural index, an index integrating land ...

Research Bias in Long‐Term Monitoring of Antarctic Nearshore Marine and Terrestrial Biota

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
Antarctic wildlife is under pressure from environmental changes and human activity, but how well is Antarctica's coastal biota being monitored? While over half of the long‐term monitoring studies spanned more than 10 years and/or included environmental data, they were limited in number, mostly focused on penguins and marine mammals, were unevenly ...
