ABSTRACT A good understanding of biotic interactions is necessary to accurately predict the vulnerability of ecosystems to climate change. Recently, co‐occurrence networks built from environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data have arisen as a tool to explore interspecific interactions in ecological communities exposed to different human and ...

Management implications of human livelihood strategies on Madagascar's coastal landscapes
Abstract The unsustainable harvest and consumption of wild animals destabilizes both wildlife populations and the human livelihoods that depend upon them. In coastal landscapes, the overexploitation of terrestrial resources can increase pressures on marine ecosystems, and vice versa.

Restoring Halodule uninervis: evaluating planting methods and biodiversity
Seagrass provides a crucial habitat for numerous marine species and serves as a vital food source for endangered species, like dugongs. While extensive research on restoration has been conducted on certain temperate and slow‐growing climax seagrass species, limited attention has been given to tropical pioneer species.

Abstract Aquatic organisms are natural data loggers and record chemical variations within hardened accretionary structures like shells and teeth. Chemical sclerochronology is the study of these chemical variations through time and how they are used to understand environmental change and the physiology and ecology of species.

Stopover duration (length of stay, LOS) is a key variable in avian migration ecology that reflects behavioral decisions to obtain fuel or continue travel between breeding and non‐breeding areas. We find the LOS of Western Sandpipers differs between two important stopover sites on the Pacific Coast of Canada, reflecting different migration strategies ...

ABSTRACT In deep‐pelagic ecosystems, the trophic ecology of micronektonic species (such as fish, jellyfish, krill, shrimps, and cephalopods) is largely overlooked, with most research focusing almost exclusively on fish. However, like fish, invertebrate organisms play key roles in food webs, both as consumers and as predators.

New records of intersexuality in porcelain crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae)
The occurrence of intersex specimens of Lissoporcellana quadrilobata (Miers, 1884), Pisidia bluteli (Risso, 1816) and Pisidia longimana (Risso, 1816) is recorded for the first time and their secondary sexual characters analyzed.
