The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...

Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

Adapting to Urban Heights: Multidimensional Gradients Drive Nest‐Selection Plasticity and Trade‐Offs in a Human‐Commensal Sparrow

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.
