Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Assessment of a Social Media-Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

Environmental DNA Reveals the Fish Community Structure Exhibited Instability and Trend of Miniaturization in the Xijiang River Basin of the Guizhou. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMonitoring of fish communities is of great significance for the management and sustainability of river ecosystems. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding technology has been demonstrated to be a highly sensitive biomonitoring tool. Nevertheless, it has seldom been tested in mountainous rivers within the geographically complex Karst region.
