Abstract: Abstract The diet of insectivorous bat species is difficult to study and the least invasive tool to gain information on these predators’ foraging preferences is the study of their faecal pellets. The aim of this… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Leaf litter decomposition is a vital ecosystem process in which macroinvertebrate-shredders produce substantial amounts of fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) via sloppy feeding and defecation, creating a substratum and substrate for microbial assemblages. However,… read more here.
