Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Anguillid eels typically exhibit nocturnal behaviour, but giant mottled eels A. marmorata are often observed during daytime in rivers on Amami‐Oshima Island, Japan. We investigated their diel activity patterns and spatial use with stationary‐receiver acoustic telemetry.

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the late 1990s, the pesticide industry has undergone a ‘generics revolution’ as the centre of production, and trade has shifted to the global South. China and India have become major producers, capturing Latin American markets from Northern multinationals. As a major pesticide user and a key node in global supply chains, Argentina offers

Non-linearities at Circular Weirs under Environmental Flow Conditions
Abstract: At a control structure for free-surface flows, the shape of the passage controls the discharge capacity. The circular weir design has been known for its relatively large discharge capacity, its simplicity of design and construction, and the ease of passing floating debris.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Population genetic structure in the Pacific Northwest for (a–c) Nereocystis and (d–f) Macrocystis. Summary Pockets of the formerly glaciated Pacific coastline of North America likely remained ice‐free throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These areas may have served as refugia for terrestrial species, but less is known about their role in the ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Genetic diversity of strawberry‐infecting Colletotrichum isolates. Summary Rapid adaptation in fungal plant pathogens is often attributed to sexual recombination, yet many important pathogens are largely clonal. We investigated how genetic and phenotypic diversity arises in the predominantly asexual fungus Colletotrichum nymphaeae, the main cause of ...
