Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Global Analysis of Shallow Underwater Fish Observation Research: 70 Years of Progress, Persistent Geographic Biases and a Path Forward

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, coastal development and climate change, underscoring the need for long‐term, representative information on key fish populations and habitats to inform management and policy.

Resource partitioning among algal turf‐feeding fishes on a tropical artificial shoreline

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapid coastal development has led to the proliferation of artificial structures along urban shorelines. Numerous studies have shown that patterns of fish diversity associated with these novel habitats are driven by physical habitat complexity; however, trophic‐mediated processes in shaping these patterns remain poorly understood.

The food niche overlap of five fish species in the Úpoř brook (Central Bohemia)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2013
The diet and food niche overlap of five fish species in the Úpoř brook was evaluated. The supply of food represented by benthos was studied, and the proportion of total food particles in the intestine of brown trout Salmo trutta L ...

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and
