Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

Acoustic indices are not useful for biodiversity research

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity assessment using passive acoustic monitoring has historically been challenging due to the limited availability of multi‐species acoustic detectors. In this context, acoustic indices were introduced as an alternative way to represent species diversity in acoustic datasets.

CheckEM: An open‐source toolkit for standardising, cleaning and visualising stereo‐video fish survey data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective research and monitoring requires accurate, interoperable and representative data. Stereo‐video based methods are commonly used to survey fish and are rapidly expanding globally due to their cost‐effectiveness, ability to provide accurate body size measurements, non‐destructive approach and capacity to create permanent data records ...

Modern approaches for the rearing of marine ornamental fishes : reef tank- Winter School on Recent Advances in Breeding and Larviculture of Marine Finfish and Shellfish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A reef aquarium or reef tank is an aquarium containing live corals and other animals associated with coral reefs. These aquarium setups attempt to recreate marine life like that of the natural coral reef, often spectacularly coloured mixed reef that ...

Adaptive Spaces and Rural Futures: Climate Change, Agrarian Dynamics, and Knowledge Politics in Southeast Asian Socioecological Transformations

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary rural change in Southeast Asia is shaped by complex, intersecting forces that defy simplistic narratives. Researchers must therefore develop new ways to grasp nuanced, non‐linear, and locally specific processes to understand how transformational shifts may occur (or not) in the region.

Festival publicity helped change fishing policy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In the late 1990s, I saw chunks of coral reef being trawled up off the UK at a time when the fishing industry was moving into deeper waters along the European Continental Shelf edge. As a trained marine biologist I was flabbergasted, since the text books

Response of Remote Tropical West Pacific Islands to Climate Variability: A Multiproxy Record From T‐Lake, Palau, Spanning the Early Holocene to Present

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.
