Multiple Twinning in Nacre and Aragonite
Electron backscatter diffraction map of a cluster of geologic aragonite, exhibiting single, double, and triple twins. The whole cluster is approximately 2 cm wide. Colors indicate crystal orientations, so that pixels where the a‐, b‐, and c‐axis is perpendicular to the image plane are green, red, and blue, respectively.

This study investigated habitat use and trophic niche differentiation in two wedge‐tailed shearwater populations in eastern Australia (2015 to 2019). Temperate birds foraged mainly in southeastern Australian waters and undertook a pre‐staging detour towards the subtropical frontal zone before migration, whereas subtropical birds foraged further east ...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to assess the effect of gaze direction instruction on postural stabilisation and muscle activity during landings after various motor tasks in artistic gymnastics. Eighteen female gymnasts (aged 14.0 ± 2.7 years) performed four different landing tasks: drop landing, backward somersault, forward somersault (SF) and a ...

Seagrass habitats are widely recognised as key nursery areas for juvenile fish, yet their specific role in supporting growth and condition remains incompletely understood. This study investigates the diet, growth and condition of juvenile (0+) snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) across multiple habitats in the Hauraki Gulf and northeastern New Zealand, with ...

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

ABSTRACT The large estimates of mesopelagic fish biomass have long fuelled harvesting interests in the relatively untouched twilight zone of the ocean. The silvery lightfish—one of the most abundant species inhabiting the North Atlantic mesopelagic layer—is a candidate for such a fishery despite its enormous ecological importance and the insufficient ...

Contemporary Methods for Capturing Juvenile Salmonids in the Marine Environment
ABSTRACT Anadromous salmonids play vital roles in marine and freshwater ecosystems. The most abundant of these fishes—Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)—are integral to coastal ecosystems and communities across the North Pacific Rim, but numerous populations are experiencing dramatic declines, particularly towards the south of their range.

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

ABSTRACT The Japanese sardine, Sardinops melanostictus, is a major fishery resource in the Sea of Japan (SOJ) and East China Sea (ECS); however, recent research on suitable habitats and migration patterns of this fish in these seas is lacking. We aimed to identify the oceanographic conditions (temperature, chlorophyll‐a concentration, and sea surface ...
