Priorities for translating goodwill between movement ecologists and conservation practitioners into effective collaboration

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
Addressing ongoing biodiversity loss requires collaboration between conservation scientists and practitioners. However, such collaboration has proved challenging.

Weathering the Storm: Effects of a Hurricane‐Induced Thermal Disturbance on a Juvenile Atlantic Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) Hotspot in Nova Scotia, Canada

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic Halibut has recently become the most valuable groundfish in Atlantic Canada following population recovery, and the benthic habitat characteristics of their aggregation areas have been identified as a key outstanding ecological knowledge gap for the species. In 2022, during a multi‐year acoustic tracking study in a key juvenile hotspot

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

To track or not to track? Evaluation of the influence of tracking devices on toads

Animal Biotelemetry
Understanding how biologging devices affect small vertebrates is crucial for balancing research needs with animal welfare, particularly in conservation-sensitive taxa such as amphibians. Despite their ecological importance and global declines, amphibians

Influence of Foraging Effort and Diet on Maternal Energy Stores and Offspring Weaning Mass in Gray Seals (Halichoerus grypus)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Understanding how foraging behavior and diet influences individual reproductive success is a key interest in evolutionary ecology. Using data collected from female gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) at Sable Island, Canada, between 1995 and 2018, we tested the hypothesis that differences in foraging behavior and diet prior to the breeding season ...

Biological post

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2015
Anterior tooth fracture as a result of traumatic injuries, is frequently encountered in endodontic practice. Proper reconstruction of extensively damaged teeth can be achieved through the fragment reattachment procedure known as “biological restoration.” This case report refers to the esthetics and functional recovery of extensively damaged maxillary ...

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

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 1245-1268, November 2026.
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.

Biological membranes [PDF]

Essays in Biochemistry, 2015
Biological membranes allow life as we know it to exist. They form cells and enable separation between the inside and outside of an organism, controlling by means of their selective permeability which substances enter and leave. By allowing gradients of ions to be created across them, membranes also enable living organisms to generate energy.

Inferring the Number of Spawning Events From Young‐of‐the‐Year Genomic Samples and Otolith‐Derived Birth Dates: A Richness‐Estimator Perspective

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 1283-1289, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimating the number of spawning events per female is key to understanding reproductive output in batch‐spawning species, yet direct observation is often infeasible in the wild. Recent advances in genetic kinship inference enable the identification of maternal half siblings from young‐of‐the‐year genomic samples, while otolith‐based age ...

Differing drivers of decline within a migratory metapopulation has implications for future conservation

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Researchers generally ascribe demographic drivers in a single sub‐population and presume they are representative. With this information, practitioners implement blanket conservation measures across metapopulations to reverse declines.
