Rising temperature non‐additively alters how different dimensions of biodiversity affect ecosystem‐scale processes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The authors distil how dimensions of biodiversity drive ecosystem processes with increasing temperature. Specifically, species physiology more greatly affected ecosystem primary production than did foraging behaviour, and physiology mediated non‐additive interactions with temperature.

Vertical structure of Caribbean deep-reef fishes from the altiphotic to deep-sea boundary

Scientific Reports
While recent technical breakthroughs have enabled advances in the description of reefs down to 150 m, the structure and depth zonation of deep-reef communities below 150 m remains largely unknown.

Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

Native habitat affinities predict fish invasions with post‐invasion habitat shifts

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Initial invasion success is gated by native pre‐adaptations, but post‐invasion establishment is characterized by habitat shifts. We demonstrate that forecasting risk based solely on native niches severely underestimates future ecological impacts, and we provide an empirically validated watchlist of future invaders.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.

Reef fish community structure in the waters of small islands Central Bangka Regency

Nekton
This study aimed to analyze the community structure of reef fish in the small island waters of Central Bangka. The research was conducted in March 2022 in the waters of Bebuar Island, Ketugar Island, Ketawai Island, and Gusung Asam Central Bangka ...

Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

Study of the Behavioral Characteristics of Lutjanus erythropterus on the Basis of the Distance and Structure of Artificial Reefs

Biology
The aims of this study were to analyze the preferences of rocky reef fish for different types of artificial reefs and to determine the distances between reefs that lead to the production of independent effects.
