An investigation into the diet of elephant fish (Callorhinchus milii) in the waters of Aotearoa/New Zealand

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are increasingly understood to be an important part of ocean ecosystems, but their ecological role is unclear. Callorhinchus milii (elephant fish) is a chimaera species endemic to Aotearoa/New Zealand and southern Australian waters.

Perceiving Vegetation From Social Positions: Discourses on Plants in a Mediterranean Landscape

Sociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how vegetation is perceived, named and valued requires attention to the social positions from which these perceptions are produced. This article analyses vegetation perception from different social positions based on qualitative research conducted in the province of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain), a Mediterranean landscape characterized

Spatial variation in response of male sage-grouse lek counts from 2007–2011 to increases in oil and gas well pad development density from 1996–2011, across Wyoming, USA.

, 2014
Lag effect in lek attendance was 1 year for the 2006 temporal scale and 4 years for the 2003 temporal scale. A  =  spatial region where 2007–2011 male sage-grouse lek attendance was significantly associated with well pad development density within 1 km ...

Seeing the World Through a Dark Lens: The Dark Core of Personality and Its Relation to Primal World Beliefs

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Aversive (“dark”) personality traits are traditionally studied as predictors of harmful or manipulative behavior, yet their underlying cognitive‐affective structures remain underexplored. This research investigates whether the Dark Core of personality (D)—the common aversive essence of all dark traits—is associated with primal world ...

Hunting and Hauora: Pig Hunters and Poaka in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Though invasive, wild pigs (poaka) were fundamental to the survival of both Māori and Pākehā during colonisation, and they remain an essential source of kai (sustenance) today. Utilising a Whanganui case study, 24 participants, semi‐structured interviews, and thematic analysis guided by Kaupapa Māori principles, describe hunters' interests in ...

A Practical Framework for GT‐Seq Panel Optimization

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Genotyping‐in‐thousands by sequencing (GT‐seq) panels are powerful tools in ecological, evolutionary and conservation genomics, yet the optimization process critical for robust and reproducible genotyping remains poorly formalized. Here, we present an iterative workflow for GT‐seq panel optimization that emphasizes systematic refinement ...

Common Ravens Disrupt Greater Sage-grouse Lekking Behavior in the Great Basin, USA

, 2021
Expansion of human enterprise has contributed to increased abundance and distribution of common ravens (Corvus corax; ravens) across sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems within western North America. Ravens are highly effective nest predators of greater

Environmental drivers of Greater Sage‐grouse population trends over 25 years in Idaho, USA

Ecosphere
Greater Sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have been in decline for decades across much of the US Intermountain West. However, findings from 25 years of lek counts in Idaho indicate that some populations are stable or even increasing ...

Combining individual and close‐kin mark–recapture to design an effective wildlife population survey

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is a promising approach for assessing population size of species that have been difficult to survey using more traditional methods. Here, we combine individual and close‐kin mark–recapture in a single modeling framework (ICKMR) and provide an example of study design using this approach for Pacific walrus ...

Vicious Pictures? How National Socialist Propaganda Glorifying Adolf Hitler Affects Contemporary Viewers' Emotions

European Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 774-792, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The atrocities committed during the Nazi era still affect Germany's image in the world and Germans' feelings about their country's past. Herein, we investigate how historical propaganda images glorifying Adolf Hitler influence these feelings. Prior scholars have raised concerns that such materials might communicate distorted images of the past
