effects of artificial light at night on the foraging behavior of an endangered nocturnal mammal.	modification of nighttime light levels by artificial illumination (artificial light at night; alan) is a rapidly increasing form of human disturbance that affects natural environments worldwide. light in natural environments influences a variety of physiological and ecological processes directly and indirectly and, as a result, the effects of light pollution on species, communities and ecosystems are emerging as significant. small prey species may be particularly susceptible to alan as it makes ...	2020	32320890
intercontinental test of constraint-breaking adaptations: testing behavioural plasticity in the face of a predator with novel hunting strategies.	constraint-breaking adaptations are evolutionary tools that provide a mechanism for incumbent-replacement between species filling similar ecological roles. in common-garden experiments, we exposed populations of two desert rodents to two different viper species, testing their ability to adjust to novel predators that use different hunting strategies. we aimed to understand whether both predators and prey with constraint-breaking adaptations actually manifest comparative advantage over their coun ...	2020	32271948
increasing the species diversity in the aspergillus section nidulantes: six novel species mainly from the indoor environment.	aspergillus section nidulantes encompasses almost 80 homothallic and anamorphic species, mostly isolated from soil, plant material, or the indoor environment. some species are clinically relevant or produce mycotoxins. this study reevaluated the species boundaries within several clades of section nidulantes. five data sets were assembled, each containing presumptive new species and their closest relatives, and phylogenetic and phenotypic analyses were performed. we tested the hypotheses that the ...	2020	32074019
