Interspecific competition (IC) is often seen as a main driver of evolutionary patterns and
community structure. Bats might compete for key resources, and cases of exaggerated …

Durian (Durio zibethinus) brings in princely revenue for the fruit economy in Southeast Asia,
ushering the current trend of clearing forests for durian plantations. Despite the thorny fruit's …

Biodiversity directly influences the delivery of multiple ecosystem services, most notably
within agriculture. Projected future global demands for food, fiber and bioenergy will require …

Bat communities in the Neotropics are some of the most speciose assemblages of mammals
on Earth, with regions supporting more than 100 sympatric species with diverse feeding …

Differences in diet can explain resource partitioning in apparently similar, sympatric species.
Here, we analyzed 1,252 fecal drop**s from five species (Eptesicus nilssonii, Myotis …

Background Interannual variation in resource abundance has become more unpredictable,
and food shortages have increasingly occurred in the recent decades. However, compared …

It is commonly assumed that aerial insectivorous bats in the tropics respond to moonlight
intensity by decreasing their foraging activity during bright nights due either to an increase in …

The combination of DNA barcoding and high-throughput (next-generation) sequencing
(metabarcoding) provides many promises but also serious challenges. Generating a reliable …

Niche partitioning through foraging is a mechanism likely involved in facilitating the
coexistence of ecologically similar and co‐occurring animal species by separating their use …

We examine temporal (seasonal) and spatial (habitat) effects on consumers' diet, trophic
position, trophic niche, and food-web topology in a subtropical oligotrophic wetland to …
