Assessing Cetacean Habitat Suitability in the Northeast Pacific From Citizen Science Data
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Citizen science is an important source of biodiversity information, particularly for gathering information on species distributions across large geographic areas. However, there are challenges with spatial and species biases, and variation in effort in citizen science data.

Shearing Tooth Morphology May Allow Sharks to Access Higher Trophic Levels at Smaller Sizes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Predator morphology imposes limitations on prey selection due to biomechanical constraints, making some prey functionally inaccessible and thereby constraining predator trophic niches. We assessed how two key components of trophic morphology—tooth shape and body size—affect prey selectivity and trophic niche in two sympatric sharks with contrasting ...
