AbstractThe previously undescribed adult male and female of Analetris eximia Edmunds are treated. Additional features of nymphs are illustrated. In the Saskatchewan River system the species is found in areas unaffected by reservoirs; nymphs develop in May?, June, and July; adults emerge in late July. Nymphs are carnivorous (chironomids were the main food item in field collected specimens), live in backwaters adjacent to the main river current, and are morphologically adapted to life on an unstable silty substrate. Invasion of the Saskatchewan system was apparently via Missouri tributaries from the Colorado system. It occurred in recent times in the latter but apparently not the former. Because of habitat destruction, the species is considered endangered.

AbstractA Speleomantes ambrosii population living in an artificial tunnel in NW Italy was studied for two consecutive years. Activity on the walls varied cyclically in relation to seasonal temperatures and food abundance. The main food item was the trogloxenic dipteran Limonia nubeculosa, which accounted for more than 80% of the total ingested prey by volume. Juvenile cave salamanders had a broader trophic nich than adults. Oviposition and juvenile recruitment appeared to be seasonal. The spatial distribution inside the tunnel was related to microhabitat heterogeneity and particularly to the distance from the entrance. Juveniles were observed outside or close to the entrance more often than adults. Movement of adult salamanders were generally low and averaged 7 cm/day; some repeatedly recaptured individuals had a mean home range of 6 m2.

Main Food Item

Individuals of its own genus were the main food item of two species of tucunares (Cichla cf. ocellaris and Cichla monoculus) introduced into the Volta Grande Reservoir. The abundance of adult tucunares may cause intra-specific competition, possibly leading to the high cannibalism rates found.

Faeces were studied during 1 to 3 years for rodents live-trapped in 7 areas of Victoria. Diet changed with season for all 6 species studied. In general the staple diet of Rattus lutreolus was basal stem and young rhizome of monocotyledons, probably sedge, and of R. rattus was fungus. Fungus was a main food item for most species and places, especially in winter. Some was basidiomycete but by far the most, especially for R. rattus on coastal heath, was an underground phycomycete tentatively identified as Endogone incrassata. R. fuscipes ate various foods, mainly seeds, insects, fungus and fibrous plant material, whatever was seasonally abundant. Mus musculus ate mostly insects for most of the year, though it is usually considered granivorous and seed was available in summer. Only in June and July were insects less than half the value of food eaten. Pseudomys novaehollandiae ate many foods and almost no insects, but the sample of mice was too small to allow a general conslusion. P. shortridgei ate grass and fungus in autumn and winter but more variety in spring and summer, including flowers, seeds and insects.

Among ecologically diverse gobies species, knout goby, Mesogobius batrachocephalus (Pallas, 1814), or previously known as Gobius batrachocephalus, is a Black Sea endemic species. There are studies on this species biological features along the Black Sea but there are only studies on its length and weight relationship along the Turkish coasts of the Black Sea. This study aims to contribute to the lack of knowledge on knout goby length and weight relationship and feeding ecology inhabiting Southern Black Sea. Total of 470 individual of knout goby was collected and it was previously reported that knout goby shows negative (-) allometry though within this study it was found that it only shows negative (-) allometry in spring and positive (+) allometry in other seasons. The diet was composed of crustaceans, teleost fishes and gastropods. According to the relative importance analysis, teleost fishes are the main food item for all and male individuals but for female crustaceans are the main food item. Trophic level results show that for all individuals trophic levels is 4.34, and when sexes are compared females have higher trophic level than males. While both sexes only consume teleost during summer, in other seasons females prefer more crustacean in their diet compared to males. Niche breadth index results indicated that when all individuals diet was compared among seasons in winter the niche breadth was the broader and summer was the narrower, in case of females the broader was fall and for males it was winter. In conclusion, feeding ecology of knout goby changes between seasons and sexes but general prey groups remain the same

The study on gut content of Selais Terang Bulan fish (Kryptopterus bicirrhis) in Rantau Kasih village Kampar Kiri river was conducted from Februari- April 2017. The purpose of this study was to know about gut content of Selais Terang Bulan fish which was categorized as main food, supplementary food and additional food. The analysis is done based on the instruction of Natardjan and Jhingran (1961). The gut content was analized using the Index of preponderance.  The result revealed that  the main food of  Selais Terang Bulan fish in Rantau Kasih village is adult Arthropoda with IP value (78.85%), and supplementary food is caterpillar (25.15%). Male and female fishes at have main food of adult Arthropoda with different percentages are (82.81%) male and female (71.32%). Based on the gut content analysis of Selais Terang Bulan fish was a carnivorous fish.
