Mammalian omnivores are a broad group of species that are often treated uniformly in
ecological studies. Here, we incorporate omnivorous dietary differences to investigate …

What an animal eats is a fundamental aspect of its biology, but the evolution of diet has not
been studied across animal phylogeny. Here, we performed a large-scale phylogenetic …

Motivation A species' diet is central to understanding many aspects of its biology, including
its behaviour, movement, and ecological niche. The diets of terrestrial carnivorous …

Body mass is a fundamental characteristic that affects metabolism, life history, and
population abundance and frequently sets bounds on who eats whom in food webs. Based …

Body mass and diet are two fundamental ecological parameters that influence many other
aspects of an animal's biology. Thus, the potential physiological and ecological processes …

Diet is commonly assumed to affect the evolution of species, but few studies have directly
tested its effect at macroevolutionary scales. Here we use Bayesian models of trait …

Understanding the feeding behaviour of the species that make up any ecosystem is
essential for designing further research. Mammals have been studied intensively, but the …

Predator–prey relationships play a key role in the evolution and ecology of carnivores. An
understanding of predator–prey relationships and how this differs across species and …

Diet is a key trait of an organism's life history that influences a broad spectrum of ecological
and evolutionary processes. Kissling et al.(2014; Ecology and Evolution 4: 2913–2930) …

The foods consumed by animals reflect their adaptations and ecological roles, which makes
diet an important trait for ecological, evolutionary, and paleobiological research. Rodents …
