First record of spotbase burrfish, Cyclichthys spilostylus  (Actinopterygii: Tetraodontiformes: Diodontidae), from the marine waters of Turkey [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2012 A single adult specimen of spotbase burrfish, Cyclichthys spilostylus (Leis et Randall, 1982), was recorded for the first time on 26 December 2011 from the Mersin Bay, north-eastern Mediterranean, Turkey. This is the first record of the spotbase burrfish

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Assessment of a Social Media-Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

Period of the day drives distinctions in the taxonomic and functional structures of reef fish assemblages. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Circadian processes are key drivers of animal behaviour, influencing patterns of activity, resource partitioning and competition avoidance. Studies evaluating circadian changes on the structure of marine assemblages are lacking, especially for reef fish.

DNA barcoding, identification, and validation of the pufferfish (Order: Tetraodontiformes) in China coastal waters. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, 616 samples of Tetraodontiformes were identified by using morphological characteristics and DNA barcoding technology. It provided molecular evidence for clarifying the valid species names of L. spadiceus and T. rubripes. The results can provide reliable DNA barcoding information for the identification and classification of ...

Low optimal fisheries yield creates challenges for sustainability in a climate refugia
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Fisheries production in a area identified as a climate refuge was estimated by stock and catch estimate methods. Results indicate low production and widespread overfishing apart from a gear‐managed marine reserve that should be used to guide future climate resilience policies.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 11, Page 1324-1340, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Strong social‐ecological trade‐offs between resource extraction and protection have created challenges for large, protected area management in natural resource‐dependent countries. Therefore, local governments and community conservation activities are becoming common and information about low environmental exposure and high biodiversity ...

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Length‐weight relationships (LWR) were described for 53 species of shallow‐water fish caught with bottom trawls in a depth range between 7.3 and 108.1 m during September 2013 in the Colombian Caribbean Sea (fishing area 31 of the FAO). A linear regression was performed using the logarithmically transformed data to calculate a and b coefficients and ...

Comparison of materials for rapid passive collection of environmental DNA
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 7, Page 2559-2572, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Passive collection is an emerging sampling method for environmental DNA (eDNA) in aquatic systems. Passive eDNA collection is inexpensive and efficient, and requires minimal equipment, making it suited to high‐density sampling and remote deployment.
