Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

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