Integrated Species Distribution Model Using Historical Data Shows Decline in a Common Semi‐Aquatic Mammal

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
A diagram of the integrated species distribution model of river otter intensity of use. Three types of data (latrine detections, roadkill detections, and detection/nondetection surveys) are linked by different observation processes to the same underlying intensity of use.

Interactions and Community Structure of Fungi and Prokaryotes in Salt and Brackish Marsh Ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA
Microbial communities play a fundamental role in biogeochemical cycling within salt and brackish marsh ecosystems, yet fungal‐prokaryotic interactions in these environments remain poorly understood.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Anticoagulant Rodenticides Contribute to a Decline in an Urban Carnivore

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) have been shown to negatively affect carnivores globally and are closely tied to human activity and development. We examined drivers of annual survival in bobcats persisting on a residentially developed barrier island over 16 years.

The protective role of coastal marshes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundSalt marshes lie between many human communities and the coast and have been presumed to protect these communities from coastal hazards by providing important ecosystem services.

Structural Basis for Trivalent Cross‐Linking of a Patient‐Derived IgE Antibody by the Major Peanut Allergen Ara h 2.0201

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Graphical The crystal structure of a major peanut allergen Ara h 2.0201 in a complex with a human‐derived IgE Fab fragment has been determined. The immunocomplex shows the trivalent binding of Fabs, creating a cross‐linked structure effective in the formation of large complexes on the surface of effector cells. Hydroxylation of proline has implications

A limpet's eye view of post‐glacial isostasy: fixed biological indicators provide new sea‐level index points for the Mid‐Holocene relative highstand in eastern Northern Ireland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.

Between Care and Control: Age Assessments and the Regulation of Unaccompanied and Asylum‐Seeking Children

open access: yesChild &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article offers a critical conceptual review of age assessments in England and examines their implications for unaccompanied asylum‐seeking children (UASC). Drawing on Foucault's theories of biopower and governmentality, age assessments are conceptualied as technologies of control that set the parameters for who is deemed ‘deserving’ of ...

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...
