Future climate change favours the increase in abundance of smaller, shorter‐lived fish in the northeastern Mediterranean

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As species distributions shift due to climate change, functional alterations may also occur within marine communities, potentially leading to ecosystem‐wide transformations.

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 ...

Animal translations: AI and the intelligibility of non‐human worlds Traduire l'animal : l'IA et l'intelligibilité des mondes non humains

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Amid the general sense of worry that large language models will soon drown out human voices, some researchers are optimistic that machine learning will allow humans to listen to and understand animal voices to an unprecedented extent. As part of a broader project aimed at interspecies communication, a loosely connected set of animal behaviourists, AI ...

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.

Fishing Activity Affected Odontocete Cetacean Distribution in a Marine Protected Area in the East China Sea

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

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.

An Enhanced Integrated Reporting Framework: Insights From a Critical Analysis of the Recent Research Literature

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given recent developments in the corporate reporting regulatory landscape, we provide a more comprehensive understanding of Integrated Reporting (IR) evolution and propose an enhanced version of the IR Framework. This enhanced framework incorporates new narratives and conceptualizations, introducing innovative perspectives that challenge and ...
