Quantifying Species‐ and Community‐Level Predation by Carabids on Pests and Beneficials in Wheat and Beet Fields

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using a model that translates qualitative prey detection data (presence/absence in predator gut contents) into quantitative predation rates, we estimate species‐specific diets of nine carabid species across three cropping contexts (wheat, sugar beet, and fodder beet) for five prey types.

Impact of Female Mating Status on Male Courtship Behaviour in a Sexually Cannibalistic New Zealand Fishing Spider

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Revisiting Maturity Data: Using Oocyte Diameter and Gonadosomatic Index to Retroactively Apply a New Maturity Scale to Greenland Halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides)

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) is a deep‐water flatfish which lives at temperatures of 1°C–4°C and produces large eggs (> 3 mm). The combination of low temperatures and large eggs has resulted in an unusual ovary development cycle, with vitellogenesis taking more than 1 year.

ABSTRACT Infertility is a working age population issue, meaning that many individuals undergoing fertility treatment are also in paid work—having to navigate conflicts between two often “greedy institutions,” which can both bring precarity. Traditional approaches to examining the work–life interface, focusing mainly on temporal issues, fail to account ...
