Crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS: Acanthaster spp.) remain one of the foremost causes of coral mortality on coral reefs throughout the Indo West-Pacific, and recurrent population irruptions compound upon other major disturbances, especially climate-induced coral bleaching. Renewed scientific and management interest in CoTS stems from both the initiation of new and renewed population irruptions and sustained degradation of coral...

Purpose Running-related lower extremity injuries are common and often linked to modifiable biomechanical factors. Gait retraining (GR) using real-time feedback (RTF) has emerged as a potential intervention to alter running biomechanics and reduce pain, but the clinical effectiveness in injured runners has not been determined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of GR with RTF on lower extremity pain and...

Population recovery following environmental stress is known to depend on demographic structure, life‐history and evolutionary dynamics. However, it is unclear how traits shaped by sexual selection affect population dynamics and recovery. We examined this by manipulating presence/absence of males expressing either a non‐aggressive ‘scrambler’ phenotype or an aggressive and lethally armed ‘fighter’ phenotype in soil mite populat...

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are primary vectors for viral diseases including Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Yellow Fever. Understanding the climatic factors influencing their proliferation is crucial for targeted vector control strategies. This study investigates the relationship between air mass (AM) categories and the annual and seasonal presence of Aedes aegypti in Manatee County, Florida, using data spanning from 1979 to 2024...
