Their integration into food webs is often mediated by small, abundant taxa that channel subsidies from primary producers to higher trophic levels. On coral reefs, cryptobenthic fishes and invertebrates can fill these roles, yet their responses to allochthonous nutrients are poorly understood. We compared cryptofaunal communities and associated trophic dynamics across nutrient-rich islands with intact seabird populations and nutrient-poor rat-infested islands in the Chagos Archipelago, Indian Ocean. Specifically, we evaluated how the presence of seabird colonies influenced cryptofaunal nutrient assimilation, biomass, structure, and isotopic niche dynamics, and how these shifts propagated to mesopredators and higher order piscivorous and invertivorous fishes. Most cryptobenthic fishes and some invertebrates showed nutrient enrichment near seabird colonies. Although the isotopic niches of cryptobenthic fishes and invertebrates overlapped, niche widths diverged in nutrient-rich environments, with invertebrates exhibiting broader niches and cryptobenthic fishes remaining comparatively constrained, reflecting differential access to shared resources. Mixing models also reflected a shift toward cryptobenthic fishes in the diet of a mixed carnivore near seabird colonies. Community patterns revealed strong asymmetries: Nutrient-rich reefs supported twice the amount of cryptobenthic fish biomass and a 10-fold increase in larger piscivorous fish productivity, while reefs near rat-infested islands were characterized by relatively greater cryptic invertebrate biomass and higher invertivore productivity. Taken together, these results suggest that cryptobenthic fishes' capacity to capitalize on seabird nutrients may allow them to exert competitive dominance and top-down control over invertebrates in nutrient-rich environments, thereby amplifying piscivorous pathways, while nutrient-poor environments appear to favor invertebrates and their consumers. Rather than reflecting uniform biomass loss under rat invasion, these patterns indicate a shift in trophic routing from fish-mediated to invertebrate-mediated energy channels. Our findings demonstrate that cross-ecosystem nutrient vectors do not simply enhance reef productivity but reorganize trophic structure. Therefore, invasive species that sever these linkages can drive the emergence of alternative food-web configurations with distinct energetic pathways.</p>","PeriodicalId":11484,"journal":{"name":"Ecology","volume":"107 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13390649/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148551815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Solitary bee dispersal kernels were fat-tailed: Most bees made local movements (mean = 143 m), but a small proportion in the distributional tails made substantially longer movements (99% kernel quantile = 1.2 km) and the farthest dispersers were expected to move nearly 3 km. We also recorded 38 foraging movements from nests to flowers by 38 individual bees, allowing us to compare two ecologically distinct movement types. Mean foraging (131 m) and dispersal distances were similar, but upper foraging distances (99% kernel quantile = 554 m) were substantially lower than dispersal. Movement patterns also depended on landscape composition: Both foraging and dispersal movement propensity decreased with increasing inter-patch distance and number of road crossings.

In particular, many adult forms have evolved specialized diving behaviors for transitory use of water and possess unique traits for enhancing dive duration, such as external connections to the air and physical gills. These behaviors have various purposes, including predator and parasitoid avoidance (Calosi et al., &lt;span&gt;2007&lt;/span&gt;), foraging (Hounslow et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;), and thermoregulation (Kooyman, &lt;span&gt;2005&lt;/span&gt;). As such, diving has independently evolved across many major insect lineages. One insect order with a diversity of semiaquatic behaviors is the Orthoptera. These range from simple water associations in many taxa (Song, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;) to hind leg adaptations for swimming in Acrididae (Carbonell, &lt;span&gt;1957&lt;/span&gt;) and to true diving in Tetrigidae (Amédégnato &amp; Devriese, &lt;span&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;), Acrididae (Gudowska et al., &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;), and Anostostomatidae (Derka &amp; Fedor, &lt;span&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt;; Issa &amp; Jaffe, &lt;span&gt;1999&lt;/span&gt;). In adults of the genus &lt;i&gt;Hydrolutos&lt;/i&gt; Issa &amp; Jaffe, &lt;span&gt;1999&lt;/span&gt; (Anostostomatidae), a plastron-like adaptation on the pleuro-sternal area of the thorax and abdomen allows for diving times of up to 20 minutes (Derka &amp; Fedor, &lt;span&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt;; Issa &amp; Jaffe, &lt;span&gt;1999&lt;/span&gt;). It has also been suggested that the extinct Mesozoic family Elcanidae used flattened spurs of the hind tibiae for evasive locomotion in water like modern Tridactylidae (Burrows &amp; Sutton, &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;; Chopard &amp; Callan, &lt;span&gt;1956&lt;/span&gt;; Kim et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;), suggesting a long evolutionary history of semiaquatic associations in Orthoptera. However, in katydids (Tettigoniidae) and crickets (Gryllidae), few interactions with water for swimming or diving behaviors have been identified (Song, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During recent field work (2022–2024) to the cloud forests of Valle del Cauca, Colombia, we discovered a novel antipredator diving behavior in &lt;i&gt;Ragoniella pulchella&lt;/i&gt; (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Conocephalinae) Hebard 1927, a tropical katydid reported initially from Boyacá, Colombia, and subsequently in the cloud forest of the Western Cordillera (Chamorro-Rengifo et al., &lt;span&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;; Montealegre-Z, &lt;span&gt;1997&lt;/span&gt;). This species is found to inhabit large tropical bromeliads (Figure 1A) and was observed to dive into the central bromeliad pool in response to vibratory cues. Primarily, we observed this behavior in response to the presence of bromeliad-dwelling spiders, but a similar response could be elicited by the observer tapping the bromeliad leaf. To formally describe this behavior, we conducted simple experiments in the lab and field to understand dive duration and identify potential oxygen-carrying mechanisms and temperature sensitivity of dive duration.

For some organisms, the constraints imposed by these non-climate variables may explain their failure to establish in novel habitats that appear suitable with respect to climate. Determining whether or not organisms can respond to rising temperatures via range shifts therefore requires understanding the extent to which non-climate variables limit species ranges. We examined the potential for range shifts in montane populations of wood-nesting bees and wasps in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and assessed the extent to which future range shifts to higher elevations may be limited by the lack of wood substrates beyond treeline. We tracked wood-nesting bee and wasp occupancy in artificial wooden nesting structures placed at increasing elevations from treeline. We also quantified the relative abundance of wood- versus ground-nesting bees and wasps at each site. Over the course of the study, wood-nesting bee or wasp nesting activity was observed at least once at all sites, regardless of distance from treeline. The total number of nests constructed at each site decreased with increasing elevation; however, the average number of offspring per nest remained constant for the three most commonly observed taxa. The abundance of wood-nesting bees and wasps declined with increasing elevation more rapidly than that of ground-nesting bees and wasps. These findings suggest that wood-nesting bees and wasps are capable of nesting beyond treeline, but that the extent to which their ranges can shift upward in elevation may be limited by the lack of nesting substrate.

Among these, 14 species from the families Phyllostomidae, Megadermatidae, Vespertilionidae, and Nycteridae are known to feed on terrestrial vertebrates through gleaning, with six species regularly or seasonally preying on such animals (Gual-Suárez &amp; Medellín, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). More recently, three species of aerial hawking bats from the family Vespertilionidae, which include the birdlike noctule &lt;i&gt;Nyctalus aviator&lt;/i&gt; in Japan, have been found to prey on birds during the spring and autumn bird migration periods (Fukui et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;; Ibáñez et al., &lt;span&gt;2001&lt;/span&gt;; Thabah et al., &lt;span&gt;2007&lt;/span&gt;). DNA metabarcoding analyses revealed that these bats preferentially target small migratory birds (Gong et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Ibáñez et al., &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, how bats capture relatively large prey such as birds was, until recently, unclear. Two hypotheses had been proposed: that bats attacked resting birds in their roosts (Dondini &amp; Vergari, &lt;span&gt;2000&lt;/span&gt;), or that they intercepted birds during flight (Russo et al., &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;). Recent GPS telemetry and behavioral experiments have suggested the latter (Gong et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Additionally, Stidsholt et al. (&lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;) used onboard sound and movement tags to support that European &lt;i&gt;Nyctalus lasiopterus&lt;/i&gt; tracks and preys on birds in the air while descending from altitudes of over 1000 m. This European study was the first across any species or region to provide direct evidence that bats prey on birds while flying. However, this was based on acoustic observations, and no visual observations of bats capturing birds in flight have been reported to date.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Tsugaru bird observatory in northern Japan offers a rare opportunity to observe nocturnal bird migrations visually. Using dim ground lighting and searchlights, observers can detect and identify birds flying below an altitude of 150 m (Senzaki et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). In autumn 2022, we witnessed a large bat—likely &lt;i&gt;N. aviator&lt;/i&gt;—attacking a small bird. We then conducted systematic visual observations in autumn 2023, quantifying bird and bat pass rates and bat behavior through visual counts, photography, and infrared and thermo video recordings. Additionally, to determine the species of bat that attacked the bird, we collected the bird dropped by the bat and analyzed DNA from the wound using DNA barcoding techniques (Appendix S1: Section S1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the visual observation period, we recorded 56 instances of bats pursuing birds, some of which resulted in a chase or attack, and six that resulted in successful captures.
