Effects of Body Size and Environmental Region on the Nutritional Value of Small Pelagic Species in the California Current

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the effects of regional environment and body size on the nutritional traits of five small pelagic species differing in habitat use, feeding behavior, and importance as prey for top predators in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME).

Low breeding propensity in a declining Arctic‐breeding swan revealed by telemetry data

Ibis, EarlyView.
Many migratory bird populations are declining in the face of habitat degradation and climate change, making it important to identify which stages of their annual cycle are most affected in order to guide conservation measures. The Bewick's Swan Cygnus columbianus bewickii, an Arctic‐breeding waterfowl species, has suffered a dramatic population decline

Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

Ibis, EarlyView.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Warmest spring on record in the United Kingdom provides insights into how a specialist spring‐flying butterfly may respond to future climate change

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Previous work indicates that the Duke of Burgundy butterfly, a specialist spring‐flying species in the United Kingdom, is poor at buffering its thoracic temperature as air temperatures rise. Taking advantage of unusually warm spring weather, we collected new field data and found that the species can lower its thoracic temperature more than expected in ...

Winners and losers in subarctic moth communities in a changing climate: Marine regime shifts as predictors for terrestrial insect biomass

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
1972–2017, the total moth biomass ina subarctic community had a positive trend but biomass trends differ betweenmoth groups based on taxonomy, phenology and resource use. In the northern latitudes,outbreaking species impact greatly moth biomass Moth biomass is associated withtemperature variables and marine Regime shifts, which can be effective ...
