Cognitive and institutional barriers to effective natural resource management under global change

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many of the most challenging decisions facing natural resource managers today can be understood as time dependent. The concept of time‐dependent decisions is useful when considering natural resource management decisions that are characterized by nonstationarity in the underlying ecological system, uncertainty surrounding key ecological ...

The Effect of Familiarity Among Social Partners on the Jumping Behavior of Amazon Mollies

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Pairs of familiar or nonfamiliar clonal Amazon mollies were tested in individual bowls, from which they could only escape from by jumping. Familiar pairs remained together significantly more than non‐familiar ones. Other behavioral aspects, such as timing and direction of jumps was not affected by familiarity.

Investigating the Dynamics of Sex‐Structured Stock Assessment Models Under Sexual Size Dimorphism

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The integration of separate sexes in stock assessment models represents an advancement towards more realistic modeling of interactions between fisheries and target species. However, increased model complexity can also introduce additional uncertainty into the modeling process.

Defining Sustainability for Multispecies Fisheries and Challenges in Application of Global Certification and Labeling Schemes

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most fisheries in the world do not focus on the capture of only one or two species but harvest multiple species. Multispecies fisheries are challenging to understand and manage, with single species management options often insufficient and/or inappropriate.

Appraisal of Six Natural Mica Reference Materials for In Situ Rb‐Sr Geochronology

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points Evaluated six natural mica reference materials for in situ LA‐ICP‐MS/MS Rb‐Sr geochronology using geochemical, microstructural and isotopic characterisation. Identified robust primary reference materials: Mount Dromedary biotite (99.37 Ma) and Mica‐Fe biotite (307.75 Ma). La Posta biotite and Högsbo muscovite are suitable secondary reference

Combining eDNA metabarcoding and stable isotope analysis advances diet studies in a colonial, non‐regurgitating seabird

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Understanding seabird diet is fundamental to assessing trophic interactions and predicting responses to environmental change. However, seabird diet studies are often constrained by low taxonomic resolution, invasive sampling methods or reliance on opportunistically collected samples, leaving the diet of important populations such as Common Guillemots ...

Balancing options for shrimp farming : a landscape approach to investigate the future of shrimp farming in the Mekong Delta

open access: yes
Balancing options for shrimp farming A landscape approach to investigate the future of shrimp farming in the Mekong Delta Olivier Joffre While providing an option for development in coastal areas, shrimp farming is usually associated with high environmental cost due to the loss of mangrove forest and high social cost as farmers suffer heavy financial ...

Effect of Selection for High Growth on Resilience of Giant Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resilience is the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by disturbances or to rapidly return to its pre‐disturbance state. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has investigated resilience in the giant freshwater prawn (GFP, Macrobrachium rosenbergii).
