Imidacloprid Alters Activity and Responses to a Visual Predator Stimulus in Aussie Bronze Jumping Spiders (Helpis minitabunda, Araneae, Salticidae)

Ethology, EarlyView.
A field‐recommended concentration of a commercial imidacloprid formulation reduced open arena activity and slowed climbing in the jumping spider Helpis minitabunda. Exposed spiders still detected a looming predator stimulus, but their responses were reduced.

Corpses as Repositories of Information and Funerals as Information Centres: Why Natural Selection Favours the Bereaved

Ethology, EarlyView.
Corpses are repositories of information about the cause of death. The distress of the bereaved acts as an honest signal drawing conspecifics to the body, enabling them to learn quickly about the death, adapt their behaviour, and spread knowledge of threats across multiple social levels.

Behavioural Diversity of Fishes: Concepts, Drivers and Its Role in Conservation and Management

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem scale. Yet some components of biodiversity remain hidden or underappreciated, including behavioural diversity.

Residency and Space Use of Endangered Smoothhound Sharks (Mustelus mustelus) in Relation to Marine Protection and Demersal Longline Fishing Along South Africa's South Coast

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shark populations are declining globally and the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a conservation tool may vary by species and environmental context. This study assessed space use and residency of smoothhound sharks (Mustelus mustelus)—an endangered, yet highly exploited shark—in relation to spatial protection and fishing risk ...

Capture Probability and Effects of Bait Type on Learning Behavior in an Unexploited Population of Northern Pike (Esox lucius)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in angling response were studied over a period of three years in a natural, previously unfished population of northern pike. Standardized angling sessions took place during two weeks in spring and autumn with three bait types: bright‐ and natural‐colored soft plastic baits and a dead baitfish.

An Updated Ecology of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) at Sea

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic salmon have had a key role in European and North American oceans and human societies. Salmon are exploited and observed in rivers and along coasts, but there has always been great interest in knowing where salmon are going when they are at sea.
