Grafting associates two distinct genotypes, each of which maintains its own genetic identity throughout the life of the grafted organism. Grafting technology is well documented in the plant kingdom, but much less so in animals. The pearl oyster, Pinctada

Abstract There is growing interest in nature‐based hybrid flood risk mitigation, in which wetland ecosystems, such as tidal marshes, are an integral part. Tidal marshes can attenuate wave loading on defense structures, reduce breach depth in case of defense structure failure, attenuate storm surges, reduce shoreline erosion, and grow vertically with ...

ABSTRACT Selective breeding in aquaculture is necessary to establish food security and meet demand for sustainably produced protein. An informed selective breeding program requires understanding how population structure, environmental adaptation, and human activities shape natural genetic variation in wild conspecifics.

ABSTRACT Gold discoveries transformed the 19th century British colony of Queensland, Australia, driving migration, a second wave of pastoral expansion northwards, and an increasingly diverse population. This study presents a comparative and contextual zooarchaeological analysis of British and southern Chinese food waste—globally significant migrant ...

Fish predation causes significant Greenshell mussel losses in New Zealand. Experimental caging methods found losses due to predation up to 93% in juveniles (25 – 34 mm SL) over 67 days. However, the overall contribution of predation at other production stages remains unclear.
