Drivers of variation in yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) abundance and impacts on native fauna in an atoll ecosystem

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Yellow crazy ants (Anoplolepis gracilipes; YCA) are widespread invaders of islands across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. We investigated the ecological preferences and impacts of this species on a Polynesian atoll. We show that even at low abundances, this species can have important impacts on the fauna, including seabirds, and require management ...

A half century of monitoring reveals contrasting survival responses of Icelandic seabirds to climate and fisheries pressures

Ibis, EarlyView.
Seabirds serve as key indicators of marine environmental changes, with adult survival being a critical parameter for assessing population health. Iceland hosts some of the largest seabird populations in the North Atlantic, making it a valuable location for studying long‐term trends in seabird demographics.

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Period of the day drives distinctions in the taxonomic and functional structures of reef fish assemblages

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Circadian processes are key drivers of animal behaviour, influencing patterns of activity, resource partitioning and competition avoidance. Studies evaluating circadian changes on the structure of marine assemblages are lacking, especially for reef fish.

Resource partitioning among algal turf‐feeding fishes on a tropical artificial shoreline

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapid coastal development has led to the proliferation of artificial structures along urban shorelines. Numerous studies have shown that patterns of fish diversity associated with these novel habitats are driven by physical habitat complexity; however, trophic‐mediated processes in shaping these patterns remain poorly understood.
