Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Genetic connectivity and local adaptation were examined across the distribution of the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri. Because it occupies an exceptional breadth of freshwater environments across a broad geographic range, this species offers key insights into biogeographic processes shaping genetic structure and adaptation in inland ...

Using linear measurements to diagnose the ecological habitat of Spinosaurus [PDF]
PeerJMuch of the ecological discourse surrounding the polarising theropod Spinosaurus has centred on qualitative discussions. Using a quantitative multivariate data analytical approach on size-adjusted linear measurements of the skull, we examine patterns in ...

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2018 Abstract Understanding bird distributions outside of the breeding season may help to identify important criteria for winter refuge. We surveyed marine birds in Prince William Sound, Alaska, USA over nine winters from 2007 to 2016. Our objectives were twofold: to examine the seasonal patterns of piscivorous species overwintering in Prince William ...

Modeling Underwater Visual and Filter Feeding by Planktivorous Shearwaters in Unusual Sea Conditions [PDF]
, 2001 Short-tailed Shearwaters (Puffinus tenuirostris) migrate between breeding areas in Australia and wintering areas in the Bering Sea. These extreme movements allow them to feed on swarms of euphausiids (krill) that occur seasonally in different regions ...

Urban waterbirds shifting microplastics
Environmental ChallengesPlastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems poses growing ecological risks, particularly for piscivorous birds occupying higher trophic levels. This study assessed the ingestion and excretion patterns of microplastics (MPs) in two monotypic urban inland ...

Ciencias Marinas, 2010 Studies on marine ecosystems rely on the identification of fish prey species of piscivores (fish, aquatic mammals, and aquatic birds) based on their bones and otoliths. The stomach contents of piscivores show predation on marine atherinids of commercial
