Parental care is a trait that shows tremendous diversity both within and across various animal taxa,constituting a focal point in evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology(Royle et al.2012;Kappeler 2022).It forms an...
Seabirds are valuable indicators of marine ecosystem processes and studying seabird diets can shed light on natural or human-induced variability in food-web composition.Specifically single-prey loading seabird species...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal(AM)fungi form a type of endomycorrhiza that helps plants capture nutrients from the soil.Lipid provisioning plays a critical role in maintaining the AM fungi within the plant cortical cells duri...
