Abstract Cottus aleuticus (coastrange sculpin) is one of two North American facultatively amphidromous sculpins, but habitat use during its planktonic larval stage is poorly documented. We analysed strontium isotopes (88Sr and 87Sr/86Sr) in otoliths of 10 adult C. aleuticus from a small coastal California stream.

Abstract Fish must manage the competing demands of ion balance and gas exchange across the gills – a physiological tension known as the osmorespiratory compromise. In dynamic estuarine environments, the osmorespiratory compromise may be exacerbated by variable salinity and periods of hypoxia that demand high respiratory work.

ABSTRACT This study presents a dialect identification task in which 191 listeners drew on a digital map around the area(s) they thought 99 speakers were from and provided evaluative responses based on speech excerpts. This study is the first to demonstrate the importance of uniting five strands of investigation in dialect identification tasks: (1 ...

Abstract The genus Skeletonema is a dominant diatom in coastal waters worldwide, frequently causing blooms, and it includes several cryptic species. To elucidate the occurrence patterns and niche differentiation among Skeletonema species in Tokyo Bay, Japan, sampling was conducted between June 2021 and February 2023.

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.
