Will a Fish's Perspective Improve the Ecological Relevance of River Connectivity Metrics?
ABSTRACT Structural indices of aquatic connectivity typically focus on the spatial arrangement of barriers to fish movement. Here, we describe a method that adapts the widely applied structural Dendritic Connectivity Index (DCI) into a functional index (DCIF) that constrains connectivity measurements to biologically relevant scales (e.g., based on fish

Elucidating the Role of Marine Benthic Carbon in a Changing World
Abstract The ocean plays a major role in controlling atmospheric carbon at decadal to millennial timescales, with benthic carbon representing the only geologic‐scale storage of oceanic carbon. Despite its importance, detailed benthic ocean observations are limited and representation of the benthic carbon cycle in ocean and Earth system models (ESMs) is

Sticky Innovation, Limited Expansion: Biogeography and Evolutionary Ecology of Toepads in Geckos
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigates the evolutionary diversification and ecological significance of adhesive toepads in geckos. It examines how different toepad configurations (absent, basal, distal and fanlike) have evolved and relate to macroecological patterns.

Abstract Mid‐latitude Kuroshio‐Oyashio extension sea surface temperature (SSTKOE) modulates climate extremes, affecting coastal and insular humans. However, unconcern about the subseasonal variability of SSTKOE substantially existed in previous studies.

Fishing vessels as met-ocean data collection platforms: data lifecycle from acquisition to sharing
The collection of meteorological and oceanographic (met-ocean) data is essential to advance knowledge of the state of the oceans, leading to better-informed decisions. Despite the technological advances and the increase in data collection in recent years,
