Changes in Growth and Feeding Characteristics during Early Ontogenesis in Threadsail Filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Background: We investigated the growth and feeding characteristics of threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer, during early ontogenesis. Methods: The growth indices of hatchlings fed compound feed were measured from 0 to 50 days post hatching (dph).

Alpine ungulates adjust diel activity to the natural return of wolves amid anthropogenic pressures

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
As wolves recolonise their historical range across Europe, ungulates face predation once more – but in landscapes profoundly altered by human activity. This shift raises crucial questions about their capacity to express adaptive antipredator behaviours.

Seasonal changes in icefish diel feeding patterns in Lake Chaohu, a large shallow eutrophic lake of China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Seasonal changes in the diel feeding patterns of the zooplanktivorous icefish (Neosalanx taihuensis), which is an endemic species of China, were studied in the large, shallow eutrophic Lake Chaohu of China during the autumn of 2002 and summer of 2003 ...

Advancements in 3D Printing of Self‐Healing Polymer Systems

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of the most common 3D printing technologies and summarizes the numerous methods to produce self‐healing materials. The challenges and strategies used to adapt these methods to 3D printing are then highlighted to provide a framework for future research in 3D printing self‐healing polymer systems.

African dryland antelope trade‐off behaviours in response to heat extremes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Climate change is predicted to narrow the prescriptive zone of dryland species, potentially leading to behavioural modifications with fitness consequences.

Diel feeding pattern and diet of rough scad Trachurus lathami Nichols, 1920 (Carangidae) from the Southwestern Atlantic

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology
Diel changes in feeding activity and dietary composition of the rough scad Trachurus lathami were investigated through the analysis of stomach contents of 307 fish sampled over a 24-h period on the continental shelf off Ubatuba (23º 35'S 45ºW).

Diel variation in vertical distribution of an offshore ichthyoplankton community off the Oregon coast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We examined the diel ver-tical distribution, concentration, and community structure of ichthyoplank-ton from a single station 69 km off the central Oregon coast in the northeast Pacific Ocean. The 74 depth-stratified samples yielded 1571 fish larvae from

Diel turbidity cycles in a headwater stream: evidence of nocturnal bioturbation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Purpose: A small number of recent studies have linked daily cycles in stream turbidity to nocturnal bioturbation by aquatic fauna, principally crayfish, and demonstrated this process can significantly impact upon water quality under baseflow conditions ...

Not just ‘super‐predators': human behaviour shapes wildlife behavioural responses across avoidance, tolerance and attraction

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.
