Hotter, faster, sicker? Warming shifts the cost of infection from individuals to populations

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examines how temperature alters disease impacts across biological scales in a host–pathogen system. We found infected hosts appear healthiest at warm temperatures, yet populations suffer most. This suggests climate warming may intensify disease impacts for populations in ways traditional individual‐level virulence metrics fail to predict ...

Eyes on the water: How local mariners can accurately detect a submerged human proxy in shallow nearshore coastal water with modern recreational fish finders

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract It has recently been demonstrated that modern recreational fish finders with high‐frequency (800 kHz) Sidescan transducers can detect submerged human bodies. This ubiquitous technology is widely used on the water and has the potential to be utilized for the rapid detection of submerged decedents in any waterbody.

Neuropeptide hormones from the eyestalks of Jasus Lalandii

open access: yes, 2000
Bibliography: p. 242-264.The X-organ sinus gland complex, situated in the eyestalks of decapod crustaceans, are known to be a source of a variety of neuropeptide hormones that regulate a number of diverse physiological processes.

Volumetric Comparison of Overall Brain and Neuropil Size Between Social and Non‐social Spiders: Exploring the Social Brain Hypothesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Report on the proposal for extension of dungeness crab state/federal fisheries management plan development for the California, Oregon, and Washington dungeness crab fishery. Part III, Preparation of background information for management planning based on the requirements of P.L. 94-265

open access: yes
In 1973, Oregon, Washington and California along with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission "entered into a cooperative State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program." As part of the process of setting up a ...
