Honouring the Past, Embracing the Future

The Ecumenical Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Church of Canada, founded in 1925, represents an ambitious experiment in church union that blends Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist traditions. Over the past century, the church has played a pivotal role in shaping Canadian society by advocating for social justice, Indigenous reconciliation, interreligious dialogue ...

Length‐Based Spawning Potential Ratio Assessment of Key Species From a Remote Recreational Fishery at Diego Garcia, Indian Ocean

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recreational fisheries in remote regions often operate under limited regulation and data availability, presenting challenges for sustainable management. Diego Garcia, located within the Chagos Marine Protected Area, hosts a unique recreational reef fishery embedded within a highly protected environment. We assessed the stock status of five key

Lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) growth and longevity estimated from adult capture–mark–recapture data

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective fishery management policy depends on accurate life‐history data, particularly for harvested species. Longevity is a core life‐history trait that is directly related to annual survival and lifetime reproductive potential, but fish longevity is generally not well documented, particularly for long‐lived species.

Listening to tuna: Acoustic characterization of captive juvenile yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species‐specific sounds. While sound production is well‐documented in reef and freshwater fishes, the acoustic behaviour of ecologically and economically vital pelagic species like tunas still remains largely ...

Assessing the microstructure of simple rhamphothecae in chickens (Aves: Galliformes: Gallus gallus domesticus)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Simple rhamphotheca are externally homogeneous but internally are composed of several corneous layers with varying hardness. Areas under more mechanical stress such as the rostral portion and the tomia are significantly harder than other areas. Abstract Corneous sheaths on the jaws of beaked tetrapods, or rhamphothecae, are classified as simple or ...

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.
