Abstract Intermittent drying and rewetting of agricultural drainage ditch networks along with vegetation presence play a significant role in phosphorus (P) fate and transport to the receiving water bodies. To examine how vegetation influences the response of P transport to drying and rewetting, we lined six low‐gradient (0.01% slope) stainless steel ...

Blueprints for Riverine Cod Nest Boxes Draw From Multiple Design Considerations
ABSTRACT Designing aquatic nest boxes is rarely afforded detailed scientific account. Here we provide some historical context for nest boxes used in production of large‐bodied fishes of the Australian freshwater cod genus Maccullochella. Our experience with eastern freshwater cod is used as a case study to: (a) convey aspects of the complexity of the ...

Factors Driving Background Choice in Scorpionfish
Scorpionfishes are well camouflaged ambush predators. We use behavioural tests in combination with standardised photography and visual modelling to quantify camouflage parameters. We discuss the relevance of chromatic and achromatic cues in the fishes' natural environment for background choice and the potential use of different camouflage strategies ...

The deep‐pelagic fish community showed differences in functional strategies along the depth gradient. Epipelagic species exhibited significant trait convergence with traits adapted to the prey‐tracking strategy, while bathypelagic species exhibited significantly higher functional richness values than expected at random.

Sea otter interactions with mariculture oyster farms
Despite concerns about sea otter (Enhydra lutris) interactions with oyster farms in Alaska, our study found no significant differences in general activity or prey selection between farm and non‐farm areas. However, sea otter prey intake rates varied spatially, with clams, mussels, and crabs dominating their diet.
