Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 568-590, April 2025.
Abstract Does exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences

Climate change and El Niño Southern Oscillation influence on mixing regime and water quality in a deep tropical mountain lake

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Climate change alters lake functioning, water quality, and aquatic biota; yet our understanding of this process is poor for deep tropical mountain lakes.

Canopy position and tree size structure the distribution of honeydew‐producing scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) in a temperate hardwood forest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Scale insect abundance peaked in the upper canopy of sugar maples. Parthenolecanium peaked on older internodes; Lepidosaphes on the current leader. Internodes longer than the previous carried more scales; wider ones fewer. Abstract Forest canopies are vertically stratified habitats in which microclimate and host tissue quality vary with height.

Breaking the ice: multiple origins of ice‐binding/antifreeze proteins

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ice‐binding proteins (IBPs) evolved independently in many organisms during Cenozoic cooling and glaciation. In flounders, α‐helical IBPs evolved from an antiviral protein, while similar IBPs arose independently from different progenitors in three other fish lineages.

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...

A rapid shift in migration schedule of an Austral shorebird is linked to a changing southern climate oscillation

Ibis, EarlyView.
Global climate change is reshaping the schedules and routes of migratory birds, which can disrupt annual cycles, ecological interactions and the fitness trade‐offs of migrating or staying resident. In particular, climate change has led to advances in arrival at the breeding grounds and to shifts in the timing of post‐breeding migration, whereby both ...

A wild‐caught rosy barb Pethia conchonius in a British urban pond underscores the need to prevent aquarium releases

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A specimen of rosy barb Pethia conchonius of 51 mm standard length, encountered in an urban pond in London, is reported. This small cyprinid is native to lakes and streams in subtropical regions of southern Asia and is commonly sold as an ornamental fish.

Points vs. passes: A comparison between electric fishing techniques for sampling fish populations in upland headwater streams

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Point‐abundance sampling by electric fishing (PASE) was compared with single‐pass (DF1) and triple‐pass depletion sampling (DF3) electric fishing on the same reaches of four headwater streams sampled over multiple years in the Ribble catchment, UK. Juvenile salmonids, mostly brown trout Salmo trutta with some Atlantic salmon S.

Ontogenetic and spatial variation in the trophic ecology of the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) in temperate eastern Australia

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) is a fast‐swimming pelagic shark of global ecological and socioeconomic importance, yet it is relatively understudied in temperate eastern Australian waters. This study investigated the trophic ecology of mako sharks using stable isotope analysis (SIA) of nitrogen (δ15N), carbon (δ13C) and sulphur (δ34S ...

A deeper look into the diversity of suckermouth catfishes (Mochockidae: Chiloglanis Peters 1868) of southern Africa, with the description of four new species

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Suckermouth catfishes of the genus Chiloglanis Peters 1868 are small and predominantly rheophilic fishes endemic to Africa. This genus is quite diverse, with over 70 species distributed across most river systems on the continent, except for the Cape Fold ecoregion and most of northern Africa.
