Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Crystal structure of fucoxanthin: resolving a long‐standing crystallographic challenge
Acta Crystallographica Section C, EarlyView.The first small‐molecule single‐crystal X‐ray structure of fucoxanthin is reported, resolving a long‐standing crystallographic problem in carotenoid structural chemistry.Fucoxanthin (C42H58O6) is a highly functionalized allenic epoxy xanthophyll containing hydroxy, acetoxy, ketone and conjugated polyene units.

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Across 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

Evidence of parental care as a newly identified reproductive isolating barrier
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Behavioural variation can contribute to reproductive isolation and can be an important driver of speciation. Here, we show that a previously undescribed mechanism, parental care, can function as a postzygotic reproductive isolating barrier when dysregulated in hybrids.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

A validated 3D point‐cloud analysis workflow for the creation of seagrass canopy height models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Seagrasses support highly productive ecosystems in both temperate and tropical waters and provide essential ecosystem services. Despite their importance, the vertical structure of seagrasses (i.e. the canopy) remains poorly characterised at the microscale, even though it is a strong predictor of ecological processes that influence both ...
