Abstract Large reductions in fish biomass are common both as a method of managing lake ecosystems by fish removals (biomanipulation) and as naturally occurring fish kills. To further understand how fish reductions change feeding patterns of fish, we studied the diets of small‐ to medium‐sized roach (Rutilus rutilus) and European perch (Perca ...

Impacts of predation by Eurasian otters on Atlantic salmon in two Norwegian rivers
Abstract The return of the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) to western Norway has sparked human–predator conflicts because otters prey on vulnerable Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations. Although predation may not be the ultimate cause of salmon population declines, otters that kill adult salmon in rivers before they spawn impact the salmon spawning ...

An interdisciplinary approach to improving conservation outcomes for parasites. [PDF]
Abstract Parasites represent a significant proportion of Earth's biodiversity and play important roles in the ecology and biology of ecosystems and hosts, making them an important target for conservation. Despite increasing calls to prioritize protection for parasites in the academic literature, they remain undervalued and underrepresented in global ...

On the origin of Halipeurus heraldicus on Round Island petrels: cophylogenetic relationships between petrels and their chewing lice [PDF]
Lice phylogenetic relationships have often been used to elucidate host relationships and vice versa. In this study, we investigate the louse genus Halipeurus which parasitizes bird hosts in the families Procellariidae, Hydrobatidae and Pelecanoididae ...

Fish disease prevention via microbial dysbiosis‐associated biomarkers in aquaculture
Abstract Infectious diseases are a major burden in aquaculture, and represent a significant yield‐limiting factor in production that is costly to manage as well as a potential vector for zoonoses. Over the past decades, a range of new diseases have emerged, alongside increased levels of antibiotic resistance, thus heightening the need for improved ...
