Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.

Sperm Transfer Under Behavioral and Morphological Constraints in the Orb‐Web Spider Genus Argiope

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The polygamous mating system of the orb‐web spider genus Argiope provides a model to study the evolution of sperm transfer under morphological and behavioral constraints. This helps us to understand how male and female behavioral and morphological reproductive traits influence sperm transfer.

Distribution, relative abundance and developmental morphology of paralarval cephalopods in the Western North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

, 2001
Paralarval and juvenile cephalopods collected in plankton samples on 21 western North Atlantic cruises were identified and enumerated. The 3731 specimens were assigned to 44 generic and specific taxa.

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Monitoring small‐scale fisheries through participatory, app‐based surveys in the tropical archipelago of São Tomé and Príncipe

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Small Island Developing States have limited capacity to monitor Small Scale Fisheries, despite their high dependence on marine resources. Participatory monitoring of Small Scale Fisheries can fill data gaps while integrating resource users into fisheries management.

Interrelationship between contractility, protein synthesis and metabolism in mantle of juvenile cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) [PDF]

, 2019
Young juvenile cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) can grow at rates as high as 12% body weight per day. How the metabolic demands of such a massive growth rate impacts muscle performance that competes for ATP is unknown.

Mapping Mediterranean bentho‐demersal communities to better inform marine conservation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Marine protected areas are one of the most common conservation tools being implemented worldwide to reach conservation targets, but their implementation does not usually take the heterogeneous distribution of bentho‐demersal communities into account.
