Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system
Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...

Relationships of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera)
The status of phlebotomine sand flies in relationship to the family Psychodidae (Diptera) is reviewed. It is concluded that sand flies should be given familial recognition as Phlebotomidae, divided into subfamilies Phlebotominae and Bruchomyiinae.

Here, we document how the implementation of a portable laboratory, in combination with targeted long‐read sequencing through an approach known as nanopore adaptive sampling, can facilitate in situ genomic and systematic analyses across a wide range of animal taxa, including multiple small mammals and blood‐feeding arthropods.

We 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 ...
