Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat‐like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mammals, and that it is associated with ecologies that facilitate group cohesion (e.g. diurnality and open habitats) and also that should reduce competition (e.

Faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean: Diversity and spatial distribution of species of veterinary interest Inventaire faunistique du genre Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) sur l'île Maurice dans l'océan Indien: diversité et répartition spatiale des espèces présentant un intérêt vétérinaire

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Expert opinions regarding the concept of blue carbon in seaweed systems

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY A collection of expert opinions critically evaluates the role of seaweed in blue carbon strategies for climate change mitigation. While the concept of fast‐growing seaweed to capture atmospheric carbon is appealing, the experts largely agree that its potential for direct, long‐term carbon sequestration is currently overstated and faces ...

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.
