Dietary Plasticity of African Clawless Otters (Aonyx capensis): An Assessment of Seasonal Variation in Prey Availability

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
African clawless otters demonstrate dietary plasticity, but terrestrial insects have not previously been documented as a primary prey source in this species. Dietary flexibility and response to shifts in available prey items may offer African clawless otters an advantage in the face of climate change.

Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Local environment and sampling bias drive parasite prevalence estimates in freshwater fish communities

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Parasite occurrence and infection estimates vary through time and space, making understanding the underlying drivers highly complex. Comparative studies based on empirical data must consider the factors of variation involved in estimating infection metrics in natural populations to make appropriate and reliable comparisons. Using a multi‐scale approach,
