Resource use by threatened, native Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the presence of two non‐native salmonids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction of non‐native species contributes to the global decline of freshwater fishes by disrupting the diet and resources of native species through competition. Despite the potential for non‐native trout (Family: Salmonidae) to compete with native trout, non‐native trout species have been widely introduced worldwide to support ...

Vicariance and dispersal in the Aegean Archipelago: Molecular phylogeography reveals the origin and divergence times of Hydropsyche (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Divergence times of Greek Hydropsyche lineages fall mostly within the Pliocene‐Pleistocene, rejecting ancient vicariance. Widespread species show shallow divergences consistent with dispersal, while island endemics exhibit deeper isolation patterns supporting a mixed vicariance‐dispersal model.

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
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.

Investigating the efficacy of tidal wetland restoration in enhancing aquatic food web resources for native fishes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Community Health Workers' Multiple Understandings of Schistosomiasis Transmission Pathways: Exploring Contextual Factors in Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya and Uganda

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Schistosomiasis remains a public health concern in sub‐Saharan Africa, affecting over 250 million people. In endemic settings, schistosomiasis transmission is not always understood exclusively in biomedical terms. Community health workers (CHWs) contribute to schistosomiasis control through mass drug administration and health ...
