Intraspecific variation in thermal acclimation and tolerance between populations of the winter ant, Prenolepis imparis. [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 11, Page 4749-4761, June 2020., 2020
Thermal phenotypic plasticity, otherwise known as acclimation, plays an essential role in how organisms respond to short-term temperature changes.

Role of depleted initial energy reserves in early benthic phase mortality of six marine invertebrate species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
We examined the role of initial energy reserves in regulating survivorship and growth during the early benthic phase (EBP) in six invertebrate species. Contrary to expectations, starved individuals of all six species had high survivorship through the first 10 days of the EBP, but starvation did affect the ability to grow when food became available ...

Integrative Phylogenetic and Morphological Analyses Reveal Two New Species of Porcellanid Crabs and Resurrect <i>Porcellanella picta</i> Stimpson, 1858 (Decapoda: Porcellanidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study uses integrative phylogenetic and morphological analyses to clarify the taxonomy of Porcellanella crabs, revealing four distinct species. The authors resurrect Porcellanella picta as a valid species and describe two new species from Australia (P. brevidentata n. sp. and P. longiloba n. sp.).

The role of refuges in biological invasions: A systematic review

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 1244-1271, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Ecological refuges buffer organisms against stressors and mediate a range of species interactions. However, their role in the context of biological invasions has yet to be synthesized, despite the increasing prevalence and impact of non‐native species.

Moderate recreational oyster harvest has variable impacts on biophysical properties of reefs and reef‐associated fauna

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite the popularity of recreational fishing, our understanding of the impacts of this type of harvest within marine ecosystems generally lags behind the well‐documented effects of commercial fisheries. Intertidal oysters serve as ecosystem engineers within otherwise soft‐bottom estuaries but may be disproportionately susceptible to harvest ...

Evaluating biodegradable alternatives to plastic mesh for small‐scale oyster reef restoration

Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Polyethylene plastic mesh is commonly used for containing oyster shells in small‐scale oyster reef restoration, but environmental and public health concerns have prompted investigations of biodegradable alternatives. Shallow (<0.5 m) and deep (approximately 1 m) oyster reefs (approximately 6 m2) were constructed in the Mission‐Aransas Estuary, Texas, U.

Static allometries do not reflect evolutionary allometry in exaggerated weaponry of male New Zealand sheetweb spiders (Cambridgea spp.)

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 35, Issue 11, Page 1524-1536, November 2022., 2022
Weapons used in intrasexual competition frequently scale disproportionately with body size with large individuals developing disproportionately large traits (known as ‘positive static allometry’). This scaling relationship is heritable and, in New Zealand sheetweb spiders (Cambridgea spp.), we found that male chelicerae almost uniformly exhibit ...

Is Ocean Acidification Really a Threat to Marine Calcifiers? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of 980+ Studies Spanning Two Decades

Small, Volume 18, Issue 35, September 1, 2022., 2022
Marine calcifiers are widely believed to be impaired by ocean acidification, but this concept has been increasingly challenged by recent evidence. This systematic review and meta‐analysis of nearly 1000 studies reveal that many calcifiers are indeed more resistant to ocean acidification than initially thought, which can result from the positive effects

Meta‐analysis suggests negative, but pCO2‐specific, effects of ocean acidification on the structural and functional properties of crustacean biomaterials

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Ocean acidification can affect the ability of marine calcifying organisms to build and maintain mineralized tissue and poses a threat for all marine calcifying taxa, including the physiologically robust crustaceans. Here, we present a systematic review and meta‐analysis on the effects of ocean acidification on the crustacean exoskeleton, assessing both
