Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are foundational species in shallow-water marine ecosystems, playing a critical role in their structural and ecological integrity. Additionally, their calcium carbonate skeletons serve as high-resolution paleoclimate archives, offering valuable insights into historical oceanic variability. Here, the effects of bleaching under controlled culture conditions on skeletal structure and geochemistry we...

Trophic dynamics and conceptual niche spaces of top piscivores were assessed using stable isotope analysis following the introduction of hybrid striped bass Morone saxatilis (Walbaum) × Morone chrysops (Rafinesque) into an established reservoir fishery devoid of gizzard shad, Dorosoma cepedianum (Lasueur). Hybrid striped bass were initially stocked into Three Mile Lake, Iowa as an attempt to biologically control pervasive yell...

High‐resolution biogenic and geologic proxies in which one increment or layer is formed per year are crucial to describing natural ranges of environmental variability in Earth's physical and biological systems. However, dating controls are necessary to ensure temporal precision and accuracy; simple counts cannot ensure that all layers are placed correctly in time. Originally developed for tree‐ring data, crossdating is the onl...
