Climate‐informed stock‐recruitment models identify potential environmental links for commercial fish stocksNARA Subscribed
Several studies have demonstrated non‐stationarity in marine fish maximum per capita recruitment rate, which may be linked to regional environmental drivers. Exploring relationships between environmental drivers and time‐varying recruitment rate will provide insight into recruitment processes, and suggest how fisheries managers may adapt biological reference points and adjust harvest‐control rules in response to changes in the...
Addressing Bias in Non‐Probability Fisheries Surveys Using Multilevel Regression and Poststratification ApproachesNARA Subscribed
Quantifying harvest of fish stocks is challenging as census data are often unavailable, so surveys are required. Traditional probability‐based surveys use random sampling to obtain representative data that can be scaled to estimate total impact. However, these surveys are costly, so cheaper, non‐probability, citizen science surveys of self‐selected participants are becoming commonplace. Respondents in these surveys may not be...
Impacts of Quaternary Climate History on the Biogeography of Specialized Butterflies in the Great Basin of North AmericaNARA Subscribed
Aim Dramatic Quaternary climate fluctuations impacted the evolutionary history and contemporary biogeography of many residents of the Great Basin Desert of western North America. This study investigates the historical biogeographic processes that shaped the contemporary distribution of genetic variation in a polytypic group of specialized butterflies that are residents of unique dune and playa habitats. Many of the subspecies...
Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019NARA Subscribed
Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and whales occurred year‐round. The total number of (on‐ and off‐effort) sightings and s...
Peatlands are important ecosystems for carbon storage, water regulation, water quality and other valuable ecosystem services that have been heavily impacted by drainage and conversion to grassland and cropland. Rewetting, or raising of the water table closer to the ground surface, is proposed as a solution to reduce peatland subsidence and carbon losses. Both peatland drainage and peatland rewetting may have unintended impacts...
With over half of people with HIV (PWH) in the U.S. entering older adulthood, identifying markers to distinguish Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and its precursor, amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), from other forms of neurocognitive impairment among PWH is urgent. We examined how HIV and aMCI status relate to AD CSF biomarkers in adult PWH and people without HIV (PWoH) characterized for aMCI. We included 80 PWH from the Nati...
Environmental Gradients Decouple Demographic and Adaptive Connectivity in a Highly Mobile Coastal Marine SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Understanding how eco‐evolutionary processes shape genetic variation and persistence in marine species with highly variable recruitment dynamics and dispersal potential remains a fundamental challenge, particularly when considering the interplay between gene flow and local adaptation. Here, we employed a seascape genomics approach to investigate population connectivity and local adaptation in Australasian snapper ( Chrysophrys...
The expansion and intensification of aquaculture have been widely adopted to support large-scale production, creating a reliance on high-protein feed ingredients such as soybean meal (SBM) and fish meal (FM). These ingredients, however, are costly and unsustainable, emphasizing the need for alternative plant-based protein sources for aquafeeds. This study assessed the nutritional and feed value of fermented rice bran meal (FRB...
This study investigates the age-based life-history traits of two groundfish species, the spotted moray eel ( Gymnothorax moringa ) and squirrelfish ( Holocentrus adscensionis ), found in Ascension Island and St Helena. Both islands are part of the UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) and are known for their fish biodiversity. The research aims to provide essential life-history information to support sustainable management of these...
Nutrient, carbon, and darkening impacts on coastal dissolved phosphorus bioavailability—a mesocosm studyNARA Subscribed
Coastal eutrophication results from increased riverine loads of inorganic nutrients, including phosphorus (P), which may co‐occur with increased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) loading. These DOC molecules are often pigmented, causing water darkening, but they also contain dissolved organic P (DOP), which could exacerbate eutrophication. However, it is unclear how the bioavailable DOP (BDOP) pool responds to the individual and...
As a widely enjoyed pursuit, recreational fishing plays a key socio‐economic role in Australia by supporting coastal businesses, especially in regional areas. Satisfaction is considered an end outcome of angling that is important in fisheries management by contributing to ongoing participation and regulatory strategies. Port Phillip Bay (PPB) in Victoria, Australia, hosts the State's largest marine recreational fishery, yet an...
