Navigating morphometric minefields: Modelling heteroscedasticity in length‐conversion modelsNARA Subscribed
A common problem when combining data on species' traits from multiple sources is that researchers often measure the same trait in different ways. For example, the length of a shark can be measured in a straight‐line or over‐the‐body, and for lengths that include the tail (e.g., fork and total lengths), with the tail in ‘stretched’ or ‘natural’ position. Statistical models comparing one variant to another can be used to standar...
High Site Fidelity and Elevated δ¹⁵N in Bonefish (Albula vulpes) Suggest Localized Wastewater Stress in a Marine National ParkNARA Subscribed
Coastal zones are subjected to many anthropogenic stresses that operate on multiple spatial scales. Understanding how these stressors interact with the movement and resource ecology of mobile species is critical for effective conservation and management. Biscayne National Park (BNP) is adjacent to Miami (U.S.) and supports an economically important recreational fishery for bonefish ( Albula vulpes ). Within BNP, the western re...
Habitat fragmentation is a key driver of reduced genetic connectivity and loss of genetic variation among populations, elevating the risk of inbreeding depression and reduced adaptive potential. The black-throated finch ( Poephila cincta ) is an endemic Australian finch with two recognised subspecies, a northern ( P. c. atropygialis ) and southern form ( P. c. cincta ) separated by a biogeographic barrier in northern Australia...
Divergence in migratory behaviour represents a striking and common axis of life‐history variation in animals. Plastic changes in adult animals in preparation for migration are well known, but the differences in early development between migratory and non‐migratory forms are not well documented. These differences might contribute to reproductive isolation because of the potentially substantial divergence in metabolism and physi...
