First Report on the Diet of the Angolan Flying Squid (Todarodes angolensis) in New Zealand Waters
The Angolan flying squid (Todarodes angolensis) is a southerly distributed, large‐bodied ommastrephid preyed upon by many large marine vertebrates such as the southern elephant seal and deep‐sea squalid sharks. Here, we report its diet in New Zealand waters for the first time, identifying prey items from the stomach contents of 58 adults using ...

This paper presents a systems-level framework for understanding late Pleistocene megafauna extinctions across the Americas and other regions. Rather than treating extinction as the result of a single dominant cause, it argues that the observed geographic asymmetry, delayed extinctions, and selective survival patterns are best explained by the ...

Megaherbivores such as African savannah elephants are ecosystem engineers that modify vegetation structure, yet the cascading effects of these changes on smaller fauna remain poorly understood. We examined how elephant rewilding affected coarse woody debris (CWD) density and the behavior of the Natal multimammate mouse in lowveld savannah, South Africa,

Testing the Dry Refuge Model: Paleoecological Insights From Late Pleistocene Gomphotheres in Ecuador
We present paleontological evidence that may prove the Dry Refuge Model in Ecuador during the Late Pleistocene. ABSTRACT Paleoenvironmental records indicate that Neotropical regions near the Equator experienced reduced rainfall during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, some records show conflicting environmental signals.

Abstract Recent technological advancements have rapidly expanded our capacity for collecting image data in the marine environment, but processing images into meaningful ecological metrics remains a manual, time‐consuming, and biased process. This is particularly challenging with electro‐optical cabled imaging systems which generate images at a rate ...
