Colour Polymorphism in Coconut Crabs Is Under Relaxed Selection From Conspecifics?
Ethology, EarlyView.Coconut crabs are either red or blue irrespective of age or sex, are nocturnal and have very few predators. This experimental study shows that they do not use conspecific's colour but do use relative size to settle competitive interactions over food in the wild.

Effects of the Invasive Round Goby on Swedish Recreational Fishing Values
Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The round goby, an invasive fish from the Black and Caspian Seas, has spread to Swedish waters, threatening recreational fisheries. We modeled impacts on the future recreational fishery in Sweden using data from a recreational fishing survey, and estimated effects of the round goby on other fish species. Values attached to recreational fishing

Muddied waters: suspended sediment impacts on gill structure and aerobic scope in an endangered native and an invasive freshwater crayfish [PDF]
, 2013 Suspended sediment (SS) loadings in freshwater habitats have increased over the past century and SS is now a significant environmental stressor. Greater tolerance to environmental stressors has been proposed as a factor in the success of aquatic invasive

Genetic and Ecological Management of Pacific Salmon Fisheries for the 21st Century
Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Based on ecological adaptation theory, tremendous effort is being spent on measures that are eliminating salmon hatcheries and fishing opportunities with the intention of protecting wild runs deemed to be of particular genetic importance to the survival of the species.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...
