Did you know that #reptiles can be prey to #salmonids?
In a recent study from Germany’s Ammer River, a single rainbow trout (𝘖𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘩𝘺𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘺𝘬𝘪𝘴𝘴) was found to have consumed three juvenile grass #snakes (𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘹 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘹) ⤵️ doi.org/10.3897/aiep...

A swallowtail caterpillar (I think?) munching on wild carrot by the Limmat River in Zürich.
Spotted this swallowtail caterpillar munching on wild carrot by the Limmat River in #Zürich. A quiet reminder that urban #biodiversity is not to be underestimated!🌿🐛

🔍 In this study, we explored bottom-up trophic dynamics between functional groups of moths and birds in Finland’s boreal region 🦋➡️🐦 Our findings highlight critical dynamics in food webs shaped by species traits. (2/6)
