Abstract:
Food webs are spatially connected by cross-ecosystem fluxes of resources, especially in aquatic-terrestrial boundaries. Generalist consumers are often supported by allochthonous resources, which can influence their density, biomass, and distribution. In this study, we investigated the influence of allochthonous aquatic resources on the foraging activity of bats (by ultrasound emissions) and richness of birds (by birdsong records). We also used stable isotope analysis of ?13C and ?15N to determine their diet and trophic space using bayesian Standard Ellipse Area (SEA).
