A global class reunion with multiple groups feasting on the declining insect smorgasbord

Abstract We report a detection of a surprising similarity in the diet of predators across distant phyla. Though just a first glimpse into the subject, our discovery contradicts traditional aspects of biology, as the earliest notions in ecology have linked the most severe competition of resources wit...
