Shearing Tooth Morphology May Allow Sharks to Access Higher Trophic Levels at Smaller Sizes. [PDF]
Predator morphology imposes limitations on prey selection due to biomechanical constraints, making some prey functionally inaccessible and thereby constraining predator trophic niches. We assessed how two key components of trophic morphology—tooth shape and body size—affect prey selectivity and trophic niche in two sympatric sharks with contrasting ...

Global Patterns and Drivers of Freshwater Fish Extinctions: Can We Learn From Our Losses? [PDF]
Nearly one‐third of freshwater fish species are currently at risk of extinction, with 100 species already lost. This study examines extinction patterns over the past 165 years, identifying habitat modification and loss, pollution, and invasive species as key drivers.

River connectivity increases the diversity of fish communities in gravel pit lakes
Abstract Objective Off‐channel floodplain features are important components of a river system that provide habitat and boost regional species pools, but river–floodplain connectivity is disrupted by anthropogenic activities. The Campbell Lakes in Harrison, Ohio, are formerly isolated gravel pits along the Whitewater River and are connected to the river
