Fish and amphibians as bat predators
71 Bats (Chiroptera) are among most taxonomically and ecologically diverse mammalian groups comprising more than 1200 recent species (Kunz & Fenton 2003; Gunnell & Simmons 2012). Although, they are the second largest mammalian order, several aspects of their life still remain only poorly understood. This particularly holds for predator–prey interactions; we had only limited knowledge on the spe...
متن کاملFish , Amphibians and Reptiles Amphibians as Laboratory Animals
Amphibians include over 4,500 species within 3 major lineages---caecilians, salamanders, and anurans (Stebbins and Cohen 1995). These lineages are linked by several unique physiological traits. The most prominent is the indirect lifestyle of many amphibians--the aquatic gillbreathing larval stage and the aquatic or terrestrial lung or skin-breathing adult stage. A second feature of amphibians i...
متن کاملHerpesviruses of Fish, Amphibians and Invertebrates
Herpesviruses are large and complex DNA viruses which infect a wide range of vertebrates and invertebrates, including humans and domestic animals (Davison et al., 2005a). Severe infections are usually only observed in foetuses and very young or immunocompromised individuals, but economic consequences for livestock can be significant. Certain herpesviruses may also cause serious disease in non-r...
متن کاملCryptosporidium in birds, fish and amphibians.
Whilst considerable information is available for avian cryptosporidiosis, scant information is available for Cryptosporidium infections in fish and amphibians. The present review details recent studies in avian cryptosporidiosis and our current knowledge of piscine and amphibian infections.
متن کاملLittoral zone structures as Daphnia refugia against fish predators
The assumption that macrophytes can provide zooplankton a daytime refuge against fish predation is central to the diel horizontal migration hypothesis. However, previous observations and experiments have shown that largebodied zooplankton avoid macrophytes. To directly test these contrasting roles of macrophytes, we measured the reaction of Daphnia pulex to macrophytes (Elodea canadensis or pla...
