Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Genomic Assessment of Reintroduced African Wild Dogs Informs Conservation Translocations

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Few reintroduction and translocation programs incorporate genomic assessments into management planning, despite ongoing debate over how founder individuals should be selected. Here, we assess the genomic composition of reintroduced African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations in private reserves in South Africa, comparing them with a free‐roaming ...

Japanese knotweed invasion genomics: what we know and future directions

Japanese knotweed is a robust plant invading many habitats across North America and Europe. Original- ly from East Asia, it was introduced and rapidly colo- nized many areas becoming one of the most invasive species in the world.

Global habitat suitability and invasion risk of melon thrips

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Habitat suitability of Thrips palmi worldwide was predicted using the MaxEnt model. Precipitation of the driest month, precipitation of the wettest month and annual mean temperature were identified as the key climatic drivers influencing its distribution.

ON KOFOID'S TRAIL: MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES IN EUROPE AND THEIR LIFE HISTORIES

, 2007
International audienceFrom early beginnings as centers of descriptive zoology, their focus shifted to physiology-development biology and oceanography. Today many marine stations have evolved into multi-disciplinary centers encompassing everything from ...

Complex European invasion history of Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky): new insights in its population genomic differentiation using genotype-by-sequencing

Anthropogenic activities like trade facilitate increasing rates of biological invasions. Asian long-horned beetle (ALB), which is naturally distributed in eastern Asia (China, Korean peninsula), was introduced via wood packing materials (WPM) used in ...

It Takes Two to Tango: A Pluralist Account for Building Comprehensive Explanations in Human Evolution

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolutionary study of human dispersal is a key topic in biological anthropology. However, recent research has revealed inconsistencies between molecular and anatomical data across different timescales and geographic regions. Despite increased interdisciplinary dialogue, these discordances are rarely analyzed in depth or interpreted for ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

Conservation implications of low contemporary connectivity along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge in hydrothermal vent gastropods

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Polymetallic sulfide deposits produced at hydrothermal vent fields are targets for mining exploitation along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, threatening the functioning and resilience of vent ecosystems that provide multiple ecosystem services. Knowledge about connectivity between vents will inform conservation practices.
