Extreme site fidelity in long‐distance migratory shorebirds in Australia and potential implications for conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...

Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmon

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g ...

Evaluating harvest risk with limited data: A case study on polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in East Greenland

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We developed a state‐dependent modeling and management framework to evaluate the demographic effects of different harvest strategies on the East Greenland polar bear subpopulation. This paper is for scientists undertaking wildlife harvest risk assessments for conservation and management, and for wildlife managers responsible for establishing ...

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

The Great Dividing Range as a driver of genetic divergence in a low‐dispersing dragonfly

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Population genomic analyses revealed low genetic differentiation and no discrete population structure across the Great Dividing Range, indicating widespread gene flow in Synthemis eustalacta. Genetic divergence was associated with environmental gradients, elevation and landscape resistance rather than geographic distance, supporting isolation by ...

Structural insights into θ‐type carbonic anhydrases 3 and 4: Tuning the directionality of CO2 hydration in a diatom

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
θ‐CA3 from a marine diatom has an N‐terminal transmembrane helix and two homologous catalytic domains. The enzyme functions as a dimer, with active sites formed near the dimer interface. A bicarbonate ion binds on the symmetry axis of the dimer and forms hydrogen bonds with both monomers, thereby activating θ‐CA3 and tuning CO2 hydration activity ...

Site Fidelity, Depth Preference and Vertical Movement Patterns of Lentic and Lotic European Catfish Silurus glanis

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To study variables that may trigger the dispersion of the currently expanding European catfish in its native distribution limits, 42 individuals were captured from Upper Lake Constance (lentic) and 42 from two streaming tributaries (lotic), fitted with pressure and temperature loggers, and released at the site of capture (control: lotic or ...

Does Survey Angling CPUE Reflect Population Density of Northern Pike (Esox lucius) in Small Boreal Lakes?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowing the relationship between catch per unit effort (CPUE) and population density is crucial for the management of recreational fisheries. We conducted standardized angling for pike in 16 lakes (3.4–22.1 ha) to test whether lure type, color, and pike density affect CPUE and the size of captured fish.
