Harnessing iEcology data to uncover invasive species behaviour

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive animal species threaten ecosystems, biodiversity and human livelihoods. Behavioural traits such as boldness, exploratory tendencies, learning ability and social interactions are known to influence invasion success. Yet these behavioural traits remain underexplored due to challenges in observing behaviour across large spatial and ...

Codfish Oral Immunotherapy in Children Aged 2–10: Randomized Placebo‐Controlled Study

Allergy, EarlyView.
Codfish OIT significantly increased desensitization in children with fish allergy (43% vs. 11% placebo, p = 0.003), with 69% achieving 10‐fold threshold increases versus 26% in placebo (p = 0.0003). Sustained unresponsiveness remained limited (23% vs. 9%, p = 0.332). Treatment demonstrated acceptable safety with predominantly mild reactions and reduced

Fats, Fire and Bronze Age Funerary Rites: Organic Residue Analysis of Wide Horizontal Rim Vessels From Burial Contexts in Northwest Portugal

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first GC‐MS–based analyses of wide horizontal rim vessels with well‐defined funerary contexts, from Middle Bronze Age Portugal (Quinta do Amorim 2 and Pego). Organic residues from two vessels revealed ruminant fats and plant oils, alongside molecular markers of heat exposure.

Traditional and Geometric Morphometrics and Invariant Shape Descriptors of Catfish Otoliths in the Yucatán Peninsula: Tools for Species Identification and Individual Size Estimation at Maya Archaeological Sites

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the use of otolith shape analysis for species identification and size estimation in Ariopsis felis and Bagre marinus, based on 181 modern otoliths obtained from a scientific collection and recent sampling in the coastal regions of Campeche and Yucatán, as well as 39 archaeological otoliths corresponding to the Early ...

Too good to be true: Synthetic AI faces are more average than real faces and super‐recognizers know it

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The AI revolution has produced synthetic faces that often appear more human than photos of real people. We tested whether individual differences in human face recognition ability explain variation in discriminating AI from real faces. Super‐recognizers – people with exceptional ability to recognize human faces (N = 36) – outperformed a typical

Sentinels of environmental change: shifts in fish diversity through the lens of artisanal fishers [PDF]

Neotropical Ichthyology
River regulation has caused significant shifts in fish diversity, with severe impacts on small-scale artisanal fisheries, which depend on fishing resources for income, employment and food security.
