Active feeding of downstream migrating juvenile pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) revealed in a large Barents Sea river using diet and stable isotope analysis

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 797-806, March 2024.
Abstract The recent, rapid spreading of non‐native pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha in the North Atlantic area has raised concerns about their possible negative impacts on native salmonid species. Potential interactions include competition for food resources during the short freshwater phase of juvenile O.

Meta‐analysis contrasting freshwater biodiversity in forests and oil palm plantations with and without riparian buffers

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract The expansion of oil palm plantations has led to land‐use change and deforestation in the tropics, which has affected biodiversity. Although the impacts of the crop on terrestrial biodiversity have been extensively reviewed, its effects on freshwater biodiversity remain relatively unexplored.

Scaling of sense organs that control flight: Size and sensory cell number of dipteran fly halteres

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 322, Issue 1, Page 12-23, January 2024.
Halteres of dipteran flies replace hindwings and act as flight‐controlling gyroscopes. Their length scales in proportion to wing length, and lengths of both scale against body size with negative allometry. The number of mechanosensory cells halteres carry is independent of body size, but varies between dipteran groups.

The ecology of British upland peatlands: climate change, drainage, keystone insects and breeding birds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Northern peatlands provide important ecosystem services and support species adapted to cold, wet conditions. However, drainage and climate change could cause peatlands to become drier, threatening ecosystem functions and biodiversity.

The genome sequence of a cranefly, Nephrotoma guestfalica (Westhoff, 1879)

open access: yesWellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Nephrotoma guestfalica (a cranefly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tipulidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 916.00 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.17%) is scaffolded into 4 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
