A comparison of monitoring methods for inferring demographics of a pond‐breeding amphibian population over 14 years

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used 4 sampling methods to estimate or index the abundance and sex ratio of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) over 14 years. The present study highlights the importance of considering individual heterogeneity in capture probability when estimating abundance of pond‐breeding amphibians from capture data with imperfect detection.

From the sea to DNA barcode: Optimized preservation method for gelatinous zooplankton integrative taxonomy

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Assigning taxonomic identity and thus assessing taxonomic diversity in gelatinous zooplankton is challenging due to their fragility and difficult preservation. Formalin fixation compromises DNA integrity, while flash‐freezing, ethanol, and acetone preservation affect morphological features. In this study, we developed a methodological protocol

Methodological constraints for the stable isotope analysis of different tissues: A comparison between muscle and whole‐body samples in freshwater gammarids

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope ratios allow the reconstruction of food webs, provided that all trophic levels are properly characterized. In freshwater ecosystems, small‐bodied invertebrates often occupy central positions in food webs, with whole‐body samples commonly used for their stable isotope analysis, due to ...

Continental accumulation of fads2 copy numbers allows sticklebacks to thrive across a diversity of nutritional landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Nutrients, including vital organic compounds, vary in availability across ecosystems, with the potential to act as a source of selection for traits that increase nutrient acquisition and biosynthesis. Compared to freshwaters, marine ecosystems are richer in the omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA ...

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

Oikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...
