Interactive Effects of Two Global Contaminants on Behavioral Variation in Brine Shrimp
Wildlife is often exposed to multiple pollutants with unknown joint effects. We tested how two aquatic pollutants at realistic levels alter activity in Artemia. Phenanthrene reduced average activity but not when mixed with 2,4‐dichlorophenol. Both pollutants and their mix reduced behavioral plasticity but not individuality, highlighting the importance ...

The effects of changing climate on faunal depth distributions determine winners and losers
Changing climate is predicted to impact all depths of the global oceans, yet projections of range shifts in marine faunal distributions in response to changing climate seldom evaluate potential shifts in depth distribution.

Catching crabs: a case study in local-scale English conservation [PDF]
Wells-next-the-Sea and Cromer in Norfolk (England) both rely upon their local crab populations, since crabbing (gillying) is a major part of their tourist industry.

Swimming crab in a bottle: A two‐month drift on the ocean surface while entrapped
Abstract Marine debris negatively impacts coastal marine ecosystems through ghost fishing gear that traps marine life, entanglement, and the transport of biofouling communities outside their native habitats. During a boat survey on July 15, 2022, a female swimming crab (Portunus sanguinolentus) entrapped inside a high‐density polyethylene bottle was ...

Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.

Harnessing iEcology data to uncover invasive species behaviour
Abstract Invasive animal species threaten ecosystems, biodiversity and human livelihoods. Behavioural traits such as boldness, exploratory tendencies, learning ability and social interactions are known to influence invasion success. Yet these behavioural traits remain underexplored due to challenges in observing behaviour across large spatial and ...
