Does the munch affect the bunch? Using community science to explore insect herbivory and fruit production in an understory plant

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We used iNaturalist records, a longitudinal field survey, and a simulated herbivory experiment to explore how insect herbivory factors are associated with Cornus canadensis fruit production. Naturally observed internal and external insect herbivory was mostly low intensity and did not have a strong relationship with fruit production.

Examining the Impact of Derelict Pots on Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Catch and Harvest Within a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

Do Habitat Restoration Efforts and the Associated Releases of Hatchery‐Reared Fish Affect the Genetic Diversity and Integrity of Native Brown Trout Populations?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Habitat restoration may protect brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations from loss of genetic diversity by increasing environmental carrying capacity and, consequently, population size. However, the accompanying release of hatchery‐reared fish may threaten the genetic integrity of native populations through introgression.

Biophysical Factors Controlling Spatiotemporal Variability in Fishes' Early Life History Distribution in the Kattegat Ecosystem

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Kattegat Sea acts as a nursery area for several fishes, exhibiting complex ichthyoplankton dynamics influenced by environmental factors and species‐specific traits. We investigated factors influencing spatiotemporal variability in yolk‐sac larvae presence and areal density for three economically and ecologically important fishes: sandeel ...

Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Sand Particle Size on the Jet Pump Wall Surface Erosion

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Silt removal is crucial for maintaining navigable waterways in harbors. Jet pumps, without moving parts, are highly suitable for underwater operations such as channel dredging in port environments.

Never Mind the Bollards: Exploring the Role of GCHQ, MI5, and the National Technical Authorities in UK Security Markets

The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cultures and governance of security markets in the United Kingdom are often characterised through a paradoxical narrative of simultaneous state retreat and progressive advance. In the face of repeated recent high‐profile security failures, and global changes in material political economy, we argue that UK security governance is adapting to

Growth and Condition of Largemouth Bass (Micropterus nigricans) and Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) in a Minnesota, USA, Lake with Separate Dredged and Non-Dredged Basins

Limnological Review
The objective of this study was to assess the growth rates and general body condition of two common game fishes (largemouth bass Micropterus nigricans and bluegill Lepomis macrochirus) in a productive midwestern USA lake, Lake Winona, 20+ years after one

Threatened cockatoo adapts foraging strategy to survive habitat loss from fire

Ibis, EarlyView.
Fire regimes are changing across the globe as a result of human‐induced climate change. For granivorous bird species, changes in fire regimes can affect seed availability and the persistence of populations. We investigated the foraging behaviour of Glossy Black Cockatoos Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus, a resource specialist, following large‐scale

Catastrophic shifts in the aquatic primary production revealed by a small low-flow section of tropical downstream after dredging

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Dredging is a catastrophic disturbance that directly affects key biological processes in aquatic ecosystems, especially in those small and shallow. In the tropics, metabolic responses could still be enhanced by the high temperatures and solar incidence ...
