We combine a recently developed framework for describing dietary generalism with
compositional data analysis to examine patterns of omnivory in a large widely distributed …

Carnivorous animals are assumed to consume prey to optimise energy intake. Recently,
however, studies using Nutritional Geometry (NG) have demonstrated that specific blends of …

There is growing interest in the question of how urbanization affects the ecology of birds,
across timescales from relatively short‐term physiological responses to long‐term …

Although the perils of plastics to living organisms including humans have been neglected for
decades, they have recently been recognized as a major environmental problem worldwide …

Species' foraging choices influence their somatic growth rates, age at maturity, and time
spent in vulnerable early life stages. Thus, differences in population demographics are often …

Considerable progress has been made in understanding both evolutionary and mechanistic
aspects of biological aging, although the two areas remain poorly integrated. We suggest …

We apply a recently established nutritional framework for defining dietary generalism to
global populations of wild boar (Sus scrofa). Across its range, wild boar consume a diversity …

Understanding the factors that control the growth of heterotrophic organisms is central to
predicting food web interactions and biogeochemical cycling within ecosystems. We present …

In ecological niche theory, diet is a trait frequently used to place species along a continuum
from specialists to generalists. A multidimensional approach to investigating species' niches …

Coexistence between species with similar ecological niches implies species must segregate
along one or more niche axes to survive. Space, time, and trophic resources are regarded …
