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.

Management strategy evaluation for salmon habitat restoration and hatchery supplementation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Building on three previously published studies, this paper applies population modeling work to evaluate the effects of different habitat and hatchery management strategies on achieving recovery goals for endangered Chinook salmon. We find that it would require a >150% improvement in juvenile survival to achieve recovery goals for population abundance ...

Curating the Unexpected: Stéphane Thidet's “Weeping Stones” Transformed During COVID‐19

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A monumental work by French artist Stéphane Thidet became the nexus for an unexpected interaction between an art installation and wildlife. “Weeping Stones,” which presents a desert‐like world, devoid of greenery, was featured in an exhibition we co‐curated at the Genia Schreiber University Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel, in January 2020.

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Behavioural responses to radio‐tag attachment in butterflies: Evidence for active tag removal

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
During controlled indoor flight experiments with 89 butterflies from eight tropical species, we monitored behavioural responses to dorsally attached radio tags using high‐speed video recordings. Four of 39 Morpho helenor exhibited coordinated abdominal flexion and hind leg movements directed toward the tag antenna during flight; in two individuals this
