ABSTRACT Ectoparasites that penetrate host skin can act as biological or mechanical vectors for pathogens and, in some cases, serve as reservoirs. Crustacean ectoparasites of fish are potential vectors of pathogens, which is especially relevant for obligate pathogens (e.g., Aeromonas salmonicida) with limited seawater survival. Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus

Summary Herbarium specimens are widely distributed in space and time, thereby capturing diverse conditions. We reconstructed specimen ‘lived’ climate from knowledge of germination cues and collection dates for 14 annual species in the Streptanthus (s.l.) clade (Brassicaceae) to ask: which climate attributes best explain specimen phenological stage and ...

Abstract Two supercell thunderstorms that occurred in Del Rio and Burkburnett, Texas in the spring of 2020 produced greater than 5 cm diameter hailstones. Fourteen hailstones, eight from Del Rio and six from Burkburnett, were cut in half along the maximum principal axis. Half the hailstone was dissected at 0.5 cm increments, providing 198 subsamples of

A Tool for Prioritizing Gravel Augmentation Reaches for Sediment Starved Rivers
ABSTRACT Gravel augmentation is a widely used restoration technique used to improve habitat below dams, including salmonids spawning habitat. However, gravel augmentation can be cost‐prohibitive, and it is often unclear which stream segments have the highest potential to benefit spawning salmonids.

In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Abstract Nearly annually, blooms of the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis form along the southwest Florida coast leading to a variety of negative impacts, including respiratory irritation (RI) in humans. To limit these impacts, NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) developed a RI model to provide beach‐goers with a category‐based ...
