Delisting the Northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf from the US Endangered Species Act: an assessment of political discourse over 20 years

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Feared, revered, and politicized, wolves have long captured human imagination, and ignited fierce conservation conflicts. In the United States, the Endangered Species Act protects species at risk of extinction from human impacts. This far‐reaching legislation, which impacts development and state‐level wildlife management, has been fraught with legal ...

Local Ecological Knowledge Reveals the Distribution of Cryptic Nocturnal Wildlife 局域生态知识揭示隐秘夜行野生动物的分布

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Many nocturnal animals are difficult to study because they are rarely seen, including nocturnal primates, galagos and pottos, in West Africa. Working with over 600 people in 52 villages in southern Guinea‐Bissau, we found that communities frequently recognized galagos by their red eyeshine and distinctive calls, while pottos were not known.

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.

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

Elevating the importance of Risk of Bias assessment for ecology and evolutionary biology

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Systematic reviews and meta‐analyses are key evidence synthesis methods for informing future research, interventions and policy. As the validity of their conclusions depends on the primary studies they synthesise, assessing the internal validity of the included studies is essential.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Crushing and Cutting: Shape Variation and Morphological Integration Between the Claws of Two Swimming Crab Species (Brachyura: Portunidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated shape variations and morphological integration between the components of crusher and cutter claws in two species of swimming crabs, Callinectes danae and Callinectes ornatus. The propodi and dactyli of the claws were analysed in males and females of both species, using geometric morphometric techniques to identify ...

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.
