Article Synopsis
  • Karst caves are unique ecosystems with low organic matter and high endemic biodiversity, particularly in microbes like testate amoebae (Arcellinida).
  • Recent research in Dinaric karstic caves, using metabarcoding techniques, reveals that bat guano significantly enhances the diversity and abundance of Arcellinida communities.
  • Findings suggest that bat guano creates rich habitats for unique Arcellinida species, emphasizing the important ecological role of bats in these subterranean environments.

Bats provide important ecosystem services, particularly in agriculture, yet integrating bat management into conservation plans remains challenging. Some landscape features considerably influence bat presence, diversity, and ecosystem service provision. Understanding the relationship between landscape structure, composition, pest suppression, and ecosystem services is crucial.

Background: Predator‒prey interactions and their dynamic changes provide frequent opportunities for viruses to spread among organisms and thus affect their virus diversity. However, the connections between dietary diversity and virus diversity in predators have seldom been studied. The avivorous bats, Ia io, show a seasonal pattern of dietary diversity.

Trait responses, nonconsumptive effects, and the physiological basis of Helicoverpa armigera to bat predation risk.

Commun Biol

November 2024

Jilin Provincial Key Laboratory of Animal Resource Conservation and Utilization, Northeast Normal University, Changchun, China.

Predation reduces the population density of prey, affecting its fitness and population dynamics. Few studies have connected trait changes with fitness consequences in prey and the molecular basis and metabolic mechanisms of such changes in bat-insect systems. This study focuses on the responses of Helicoverpa armigera to different predation risks, focusing on echolocating bats and their calls.
