Against book enclosures: Moving towards more diverse, humane and accessible book publishing

Area, EarlyView.
Abstract Matthew Gandy's Commentary in Area (2023) criticised the decision of the national funder UKRI to mandate that all books resulting from the research that it funds must be published open access (OA) from 2024. This raises many issues of importance to geographers. We argue that scholars in the discipline need to fight for affordable and ethically

Global impacts of exotic eucalypt plantations on wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The establishment of exotic tree plantations poses a pervasive threat to wildlife across the globe. Among the most important tree species used for forestry purposes worldwide are members of the genus Eucalyptus, which have now been established in at least 107 countries outside of their native range.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Scientists' warning on the need for greater inclusion of dragonflies in global conservation

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Stressors to dragonflies are multiple, and in many cases interactive. Specialist species are at risk, while generalists can benefit from some human activities. Dragonflies are sentinels for conservation, being promising surrogates for other taxa while also being appealing to citizen science initiatives.

An improved mayfly algorithm and its application

AIP Advances, 2022
An improved version of the mayfly algorithm called the golden annealing crossover-mutation mayfly algorithm (GSASMA) is proposed to address the low convergence efficiency and insufficient search capability of existing mayfly algorithms.

Resource use, niche width, and trophic position reveal diverse trophic structure in a tidal freshwater zone fish community

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The tidal freshwater zone is an aquatic transition zone that links a river to its estuary and provides an important habitat used in the life cycle of resident and migratory fishes. Yet, information on the trophic structure of fishes in this habitat is scarce. To address this gap, we characterize the trophic structure of a fish community in the

Do omnivorous shrimp influence mayfly nymph life history traits in a tropical island stream?

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
Interspecific interactions can play an important role in determining habitat selection and resource use between competing species. We examined interactions between an omnivorous shrimp and a grazing mayfly, two co-dominant taxa found in Puerto Rican ...

An Early‐Life Disruption of Gut Microbiota Has Opposing Effects on Parasite Resistance in Two Host Species

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota regulate multiple aspects of host health, including metabolism and the development of the immune system. However, we still know relatively little about how the gut microbiota influences host responses to parasitism in wild organisms, particularly whether host‐microbiota interactions contribute to variation in parasitism across ...

Phylogenetic Biogeography of Mayflies

Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 1975
The number of biogeographers who confidently drew dispersal routes on fixed continent maps ten or more years ago and now just as confidently draw dispersals of the same organisms on continental drift maps must cause us to seriously question the procedures of biogeographers.
