Structural differences in the gut microbiome of bats using terrestrial vs. aquatic feeding resources by Alexandra Corduneanu, Alejandra Wu-Chuang, Apolline Maitre, Dasiel Obregon, Attila D. Sándor, Alejandro Cabezas-Cruz

“…These bat species with contrasting habitat and food preferences (i.e., My. capaccinii and My. pilosus can be piscivorous and/or insectivorous; Mi. schreibersii and My. myotis are exclusively insectivorous; while My. vivesi is a marine predator) offer an invaluable opportunity to test the impact of diet on bat gut microbiome assembly. …”

Diet and trophic structure of the fish fauna in a subtropical ecosystem: impoundment effects by Rosilene Luciana Delariva, Norma Segatti Hahn, Elaine Antoniassi Luiz Kashiwaqui

“…The species could be organized in 10 trophic guilds: algivores, carcinophages, detritivores, herbivores, aquatic insectivores, terrestrial insectivores, invertivores, omnivores, piscivores, and planktivores; the first and last guilds were represented only in the post-impoundment period. …”

Coffee agroforests remain beneficial for neotropical bird community conservation across seasons. by Sonia M Hernandez, Brady J Mattsson, Valerie E Peters, Robert J Cooper, C Ron Carroll

“…The models we used estimated capture probability to be similar between habitat types for each dietary guild, but omnivores had a lower capture probability than frugivores and insectivores. Although apparent species richness was higher in coffee agroforest than secondary forest, model results indicated that omnivores and insectivores were more common in secondary forest when accounting for heterogeneity in capture probability. …”

Evolution and function of fossoriality in the carnivora: implications for group-living by Michael James Noonan, Chris eNewman, Christina D Buesching, David Whyte Macdonald

“…We conclude that, among smaller (<15kg) den-using carnivores, and especially for omnivorous/ insectivorous species for which food resource dispersion is favorable, continued cohabitation at natal dens can promote cohabitation among adults; that is, philopatric benefits leading to (not necessarily cooperative) spatial groups.…”
