Forecasting ecological trajectories from ecological dynamic regimes to improve resilience analysis

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The ecological dynamic regime (EDR) framework was recently proposed as an alternative to equilibrium‐based approaches for assessing ecological resilience in empirical systems, explicitly incorporating dynamic regimes as a reference for assessing the system's deviation during disturbances.

Life in a post‐eelgrass world: Temporal compression of a spatial refuge from predation

Ecosphere
Spatial refugia offered by structurally complex habitats mitigate high rates of predation for many aquatic and terrestrial prey species. These refuges are particularly important for small juvenile marine invertebrates, for which predation often ...

Autochthonous carbon loading of macroalgae stimulates benthic biological nitrogen fixation rates in shallow coastal marine sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology
Macroalgae, commonly known as seaweed, are foundational species in coastal ecosystems and contribute significantly to coastal primary production globally. However, the impact of macroalgal decomposition on benthic biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) after

Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.

What Endocrinologists Should Know About Iodine: Population Deficiency, Individual Excess and Misinformation in the United Kingdom

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iodine deficiency, once considered eliminated in the United Kingdom, has re‐emerged, particularly among women of reproductive age, in whom requirements are increased during pregnancy and lactation. The declining consumption of dairy and white fish, the emerging use of unfortified plant‐based milk alternatives, and the absence of a national ...

Subtropical marine reserve as key habitats for the critically endangered sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus) in the Southwestern Atlantic

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study documents the occurrence, seasonal patterns and reproductive activity of the sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus) within a no‐take marine protected area in southeastern Brazil, using Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) and diving records.

Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., a hairy ghost pipefish (Teleostei: Solenostomidae) from the Southwest Pacific, with an integrative comparison to S. paegnius

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., is described from the Coral Sea based on specimens (18–34 mm SL) collected from coral reef habitats in Queensland, Australia. The species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: abundant elongate integumentary filaments imparting a conspicuously shaggy ...
