Abiotic variables drive different aspects of fish community trait variation and species richness across the continental United States

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Trait distributions provide insight into how niches overlap within a broader trait space. By integrating individual‐level trait observations from different communities, we can explore how facets of trait dimensionality vary across environmental conditions.

Invasive goldfish trigger a regime shift in experimental lake ecosystems of varying trophic state

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The pet trade distributes exotic animals around the globe that enrich human lives. However, some pets become pests when released into the wild. This study provides experimental evidence that goldfish will negatively affect native freshwater organisms and ecosystems.

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 ...

Waterbird zoogeochemical effects shape wetland nutrient dynamics and algal communities in Laurentian Great Lakes coastal freshwater wetlands

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

The role of the Eastern Mediterranean in human evolution: recent results from Greece Le rôle du Bassin méditerranéen oriental dans l’évolution humaine : résultats récents en Grèce

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

Eyes on the water: How local mariners can accurately detect a submerged human proxy in shallow nearshore coastal water with modern recreational fish finders

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract It has recently been demonstrated that modern recreational fish finders with high‐frequency (800 kHz) Sidescan transducers can detect submerged human bodies. This ubiquitous technology is widely used on the water and has the potential to be utilized for the rapid detection of submerged decedents in any waterbody.
