Does long‐term phenytoin have a place in Dravet syndrome?
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 2036-2040, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Anti‐seizure medications that block sodium channels are generally considered contraindicated in Dravet syndrome. There is, however, considerable debate about the sodium‐channel blocker phenytoin, which is often used for status epilepticus, a frequent feature of Dravet syndrome.

Predation bias of Ordovician predators on trilobites
Journal of the Geological Society, 2023 Although prey selection has been commonly documented in extant animals, evidence of prey selection in deep time is rare by comparison. Here, we collected 147 broken sclerites of trilobites, almost all of which were caused by lethal predation, from the Upper Ordovician in NW China.

Interactions between multiple recruitment drivers: post-settlement predation mortality and flow-mediated recruitment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundDispersal is a primary driver in shaping the future distribution of species in both terrestrial and marine systems. Physical transport by advection can regulate the distance travelled and rate of propagule supply to a habitat but post ...

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2023 Selecting optimal locations for mussel farming is vital for the optimization of production yield and for the minimization of environmental impact. Although predation by sea ducks may induce large stock losses and hence severe economic loss for mussel ...

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 470-483, December 2022., 2022 In Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, lake trout carcasses are used to suppress invasive lake trout embryos in an effort to conserve native Yellowstone cutthroat trout. Using a field experiment, we determined that carcass treatment had limited, non‐target effects on benthic invertebrates.

Reciprocal intraguild predation and predator coexistence [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 AbstractIntraguild predation is a mix of competition and predation and occurs when one species feeds on another species that uses similar resources. Theory predicts that intraguild predation hampers coexistence of species involved, but it is common in nature.

The restoration potential of offshore mussel farming on degraded seabed habitat
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 437-449, December 2022., 2022 Due to the artificial structures that accumulate mussels and exclude destructive fishing practices, the seabed could be restored by the installation of mussel farming structure. After four years, there was a significantly greater abundance of mobile taxa compared to the Controls that remained open to trawling. Commercial European lobster and brown crab

Predation drives complex eco-evolutionary dynamics in sexually selected traits.
PLoS Biology, 2023 Predation plays a role in preventing the evolution of ever more complicated sexual displays, because such displays often increase an individual's predation risk.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 552-561, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Seahorses (Genus Hippocampus; Family Syngnathidae) are iconic fish characterised by tails with prehensile capabilities, which develop after the transition from planktonic to benthonic lifestyle. As a result, seahorses remain attached to vegetal structures or other elements most of the time, both in the wild and under rearing conditions. In the

Factors that influence Cape fur seal predation on Cape gannets at Lambert’s Bay, South Africa [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Seabird populations experience predation that can impact their breeding density and breeding success. The Cape gannet Morus capensis is endemic to the Benguela upwelling ecosystem and is classified as Endangered by the IUCN.
