Improving Demographics and Conservation of Fishes Through Multi‐Frame Individual Distinctions by Size (MIDS)

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
MIDS (Multi‐frame Individual Distinctions by Size) is a new software package for improving how fish populations are assessed using stereo‐video data. By using the length, error and statistical inference of measurements, MIDS distinguishes individuals across multiple video frames and autonomously removes repeat observations, regardless of when the ...

Seagrass Patch Complexity Affects Macroinfaunal Community Structure in Intertidal Areas: An In Situ Experiment Using Seagrass Mimics

Diversity, 2021
Seagrasses, as key ecosystem engineers in coastal ecosystems, contribute to enhancing diversity in comparison with nearby bare areas. It has been proved mainly for epifauna, but data on infauna are still scarce.

Network indices show heat wave‐induced fragility in experimental food webs: Operational insights for ecosystem management [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Emerging global change imposes challenges for marine ecosystems placing them at the verge of collapse. The identification of early signs of ecosystem collapse is crucial to assist adaptive management. Shifts in the ecosystems are preceded by rewiring of ecological networks.

Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...

Biodiversity in seagrass meadows in contrast to adjacent bare sand habitats of Foros Bay (Bulgarian Black Sea coast) assessed using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding [PDF]

Nature Conservation
The present study presents an initial eDNA-based assessment of metazoan biodiversity associated with Zostera seagrass meadows and neighbouring bare sand habitats in Foros Bay, located along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Milder winters alleviate seasonal challenges for a migratory goose facing Arctic warming

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
By combining extensive body mass records with population‐wide migration counts spanning several decades, this study uncovers long‐term improvements in body condition associated with progressively milder winters, alongside earlier spring departure in an Arctic migrant, highlighting the importance of the full annual cycle in determining species ...

Study on the effects of extreme climate and human activities on the growth mechanisms of Zostera japonica in the Yellow River estuary

Frontiers in Marine Science
Zostera japonica, as one of the major seagrasses in the Yellow River Estuary, plays a critical ecological role, particularly in providing habitat for marine organisms, stabilizing sediment, and contributing significantly to carbon sequestration.
