Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We report a previously undescribed trophic interaction in which Macrogerodonia peruviana rove beetles prey exclusively on wounded or recently killed Trigona stingless bees generated during aggressive conflicts at carrion. Field observations and choice experiments showed that beetles selectively targeted injured Trigona while ignoring carrion and other ...
