No escape from microplastics: Contamination of reef manta ray feeding areas in a remote, protected archipelago

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We found microplastic contamination of the upper water column around the Chagos Archipelago, a remote, protected archipelago in the central Indian Ocean. Key aggregation areas for reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) were contaminated, putting them at risk of microplastic ingestion.

Temporally‐indexed multi‐species density impact functions: Quantifying timing and impact of invasive predators on seabird breeding success

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conserving threatened species often requires effective predator suppression strategies, particularly on islands where introduced predators pose significant threats. Density‐impact functions provide a framework to quantify the relationships between predator abundance and impact but are currently limited to a single species with invariant impact.

Predicting Historical Populations and Evaluating Shifting Baselines of Traditionally Exploited Fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Development of data‐intensive stock assessment and ecosystem‐based models has improved our understanding of shifting species abundance in response to fishing, ocean ecology, and species interactions. Along with this analytical progress is evidence that many stocks lack data required for complex models, resulting in data‐limited options for ...

Human IDO2 exhibits unique binding affinities distinct to those of human IDO1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) is highly homologous to IDO1, it displays markedly lower catalytic activity. We found that IDO2 binds L‐tryptophan (L‐Trp) in a flipped orientation stabilized by the IDO2‐specific residue His143. Replacement of His143 with the IDO1‐equivalent tyrosine restored an IDO1‐like binding mode and increased ...

High Cost and Low Trust: Insights From Qualitative Commercial Fishing Cost Data in the Northeast United States

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In fisheries management, socioeconomic data, specifically qualitative data analysis, is often underutilized. This study qualitatively analyzed a primary federal data collection effort in the Northeast United States, The Greater Atlantic Region Commercial Fishing Business Cost Survey.
