No effect of short‐term exposure to ocean acidification on individual‐level variation in behaviour and susceptibility to predation in a Great Barrier Reef damselfish

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study shows that projected ocean acidification does not alter behaviour or predation risk in coral reef fish, challenging earlier assumptions. By quantifying consistent individual‐level behavioural differences and relating individual traits to survival during a live‐predation trial, it also provides evidence for a boldness–predation trade‐off in a

Direct, but not indirect, predation‐risk cues deter larval settlement in a scyphozoan jellyfish

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Predators can shape population dynamics before consumption occurs, with prey using chemical information to guide larval settlement. We show that jellyfish larvae (Aurelia coerulea) respond selectively to predation‐risk cues, reducing settlement in response to predator presence and active predation cues, but not to residual cues from previously preyed ...

Suicides disguised as homicides through weapon concealment: A two‐way copycat phenomenon between fiction and real world

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Suicides disguised as homicides present a persistent challenge in forensic case analysis, particularly when the weapon is deliberately removed after discharge. This study investigates the evolution of weapon concealment techniques—specifically the “load‐and‐rope” and “helium balloon‐tied gun” methods—across documented casework, forensic ...

Dura mater‐preserving technique for fetal brain extraction after intrauterine death with prolonged retention

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Examination of the fetal brain represents a crucial step in the diagnostic assessment of fetal death in utero, particularly in cases of unexplained intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). Prolonged intrauterine retention, advanced autolysis, and the intrinsic structural immaturity of the fetal brain frequently compromise tissue integrity, limiting ...

Boat Noise Is Associated With Reduced Behavioral Lateralization in Juvenile Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Our results show that boat noise is associated with weaker expression of turning bias, poorer behavioral performance, elevated oxygen consumption, and concurrent gut‐associated shifts in juvenile Larimichthys crocea. These findings suggest that anthropogenic noise may influence not only physiological condition, but also behavioral phenotypes ...

Navigating Sovereignty and Marine Biosecurity: The Challenge of Regulating Visiting Naval Vessels in Global Ports

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental security has traditionally focused on climate change, resource scarcity and environmental degradation as drivers of instability and conflict. Comparatively little attention has been given to environmental biosecurity despite biological invasions representing one of the most significant and irreversible forms of environmental ...
