Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates
Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing
nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground …

The role of habitat area and edge in fragmented landscapes: definitively distinct or inevitably intertwined?
Over the past few decades, much research has focussed on the effects of habitat area (ie,
patch size) and edges in fragmented landscapes. We review and synthesize the literature on …

Phylogenetic analyses suggest centipede venom arsenals were repeatedly stocked by horizontal gene transfer
EAB Undheim, RA Jenner - Nature Communications, 2021 - nature.com
Venoms have evolved over a hundred times in animals. Venom toxins are thought to evolve
mostly by recruitment of endogenous proteins with physiological functions. Here we report …

Delay induced stability switch, multitype bistability and chaos in an intraguild predation model
In many predator–prey models, delay has a destabilizing effect and induces oscillations;
while in many competition models, delay does not induce oscillations. By analyzing a rather …

Complex dynamics of a three species prey-predator model with intraguild predation
Abstract 'Omnivory', a widespread mechanism in interacting populations, is defined as
feeding on more than one trophic levels. In this work we have considered a three species …

Cavity-nesting bees and wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) in a semi-deciduous Atlantic forest fragment immersed in a matrix of agricultural land
LC da Rocha-Filho, LS Rabelo, SC Augusto… - Journal of Insect …, 2017 - Springer
Cavity-nesting bees and wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) have been showed to be suitable
models to investigate the effects of forest fragmentation and human land use. Those studies …

[HTML][HTML] A widespread interaction between generalist and specialist enemies: The role of intraguild predation and Allee effect
A natural food web system involves a diverse community of natural enemies and one of the
widespread and common phenomena of such systems is intraguild predation (IGP)(ie …

Fear induced stabilization in an intraguild predation model
In the present paper, we investigate the impact of fear in an intraguild predation model. We
consider that the growth rate of intraguild prey (IG prey) is reduced due to the cost of fear of …

Edge‐mediated reduction of phorid parasitism on leaf‐cutting ants in a Brazilian Atlantic forest
Previous studies have shown that leaf‐cutting ant populations benefit greatly from living in or
near the edges of the Brazilian Atlantic forest. One of the mechanisms responsible for this …

Effects of habitat edges and trampling on the distribution of ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in urban forests
Urban forest patches are generally small with highly contrasting edges bordering non-forest
habitat, landscape features that increase with urbanisation. These forest patches are also …
