Resolving food-web structure
RM Pringle, MC Hutchinson - Annual Review of Ecology …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Food webs are a major focus and organizing theme of ecology, but the data used to
assemble them are deficient. Early debates over food-web data focused on taxonomic …

What you need is what you eat? Prey selection by the bat Myotis daubentonii
Optimal foraging theory predicts that predators are selective when faced with abundant prey,
but become less picky when prey gets sparse. Insectivorous bats in temperate regions are …

Bats are still not birds in the digital era: echolocation call variation and why it matters for bat species identification
The recording and analysis of echolocation calls are fundamental methods used to study bat
distribution, ecology, and behavior. However, the goal of identifying bats in flight from their …

How much is enough? Effects of technical and biological replication on metabarcoding dietary analysis
DNA metabarcoding is increasingly used in dietary studies to estimate diversity, composition
and frequency of occurrence of prey items. However, few studies have assessed how …

The diet of Myotis lucifugus across Canada: assessing foraging quality and diet variability
Variation in prey resources influences the diet and behaviour of predators. When prey
become limiting, predators may travel farther to find preferred food or adjust to existing local …
