Dimensions of dace dynamics: temporal variation in abundance and survival of an imperiled desert fish guide habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Desert fishes are vulnerable to anthropogenic environmental alterations that degrade habitat and reduce water availability, but these same fishes benefit from restoration actions that reverse the causes of decline. Ash Meadows speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus nevadensis) is a federally endangered minnow endemic to the Mojave ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Effects of selective harvest on antler size of white‐tailed deer in Texas, USA

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 222, Issue 1, June 2026.
We conducted 20 years of experiments on the selective harvest of white‐tailed deer by antler size, judged inferior, in 2 areas of South Texas, USA. Selective harvest increased the phenotypic antler size of older males in one study area but not the other. There was little evidence of evolution resulting from selective harvesting. Abstract There has been
