The behavioral strategies developed by predators to capture and kill their prey are fascinating, notably for that forage at, or beyond, the boundaries of ecosystem. We report here occurrence a beaching behavior used an alien large-bodied freshwater predatory fish (Silurus glanis) birds on land (i.e. pigeons, Columbia livia). Among total 45 behaviors observed filmed, 28% were successful in bird capture. Stable isotope analyses (δ13C δ15N) putative revealed highly variable dietary contribution...
Thyreophora cynophila (Panzer, 1798) is an iconic species of the European entomofauna. This winter-flying necrophagous fly was considered long extinct in Europe, before being discovered Spain 2010 and re-discovered France 2020, with a unique locality Saint-Paul-de-Jarrat (Ariège, southern France).After bringing this to attention people that are active nature during winter, including hunters, skilled naturalists, lovers professional we gathered seven new occurrence data for at six locations...
Recent years have seen wildfires causing widespread environmental and economic damage as well numerous fatalities globally. With record breaking yearly burnt areas, longer fire seasons, more extreme events, wildfire is emerging a growing concern for populations, governments the private sector alike. In Europe, destruction disruption been historically prominent in southern countries where key sectors of economy like tourism, forestry, agriculture can remain severely affected aftermath...
With global temperatures continuing to rise year on year, drought conditions are becoming increasingly frequent and severe, across all continents. More more, the negative effects of these worsening being experienced by people world both directly, through damage agricultural systems, water scarcity or homes from subsidence, as well indirectly, cascading other perils such heatwaves wildfires, which in turn may devastate communities drive great economic losses. For reasons, is growing concern...
In situ pigment contents of biofilm-dwelling bdelloid rotifers the Garonne River (France) were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and compared with composition surrounding biofilm microphytobenthic communities. Among pigments that detected in rotifers, presence carotenoids fucoxanthin myxoxanthophyll showed fed on diatoms cyanobacteria. Unexpectedly, while strongly dominated communities terms biomass, HPLC results hinted selectively ingested benthic filamentous doing...
This study aimed to investigate the seasonal variation of zooplankton diversity and abundance in Nokoué Lagoon southern Benin. Through extensive sampling, a total 109 zooplanktonic taxa were identified quantified. The average was found be 60 individuals per liter, with copepods rotifers being most dominant groups, comprising 68.1% 29.1% abundance, respectively. key factor as driving structure assemblages salinity, which showed significant variation. results revealed that during high water...
Here we show that Daceton armigerum, an arboreal myrmicine ant whose workers are equipped with hypertrophied trap-jaw mandibles, is characterized by a set of unexpected biological traits including colony size, aggressiveness, trophobiosis and hunting behavior. The size one has been evaluated at ca. 952,000 individuals. Intra- interspecific aggressiveness were tested equiprobable null model used to how D. armigerum colonies react vis-à-vis other species large colonies; it happens can share...
1. Ants are widespread in tropical rainforests, including the canopy where territorially dominant arboreal species represent main part of arthropod biomass. 2. By mapping territories ant and using a null model analysis pairwise approach this study was able to show presence an mosaic on upper primary Neotropical rainforest ( c . 1 ha sampled; 157 tall trees from 28 families). Although canopies frequently irregular, with tree crowns at different heights breaking continuity ants, latter...
Tank bromeliads are good models for understanding how climate change may affect biotic associations. We studied the relationships between spiders, epiphytic tank bromeliad, Aechmea bracteata, and its associated ants in an inundated forest Quintana Roo, Mexico, during a drought period while, exceptionally, this was dry then flooding that followed. compared spider abundance diversity 'Aechmea-areas' 'control-areas' of same surface area. recorded six families: Dipluridae, Ctenidae, Salticidae,...
