Prevalence of haemosporidian parasites in raptors in rehabilitation centers across the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Avian haemosporidians are common vector-transmitted parasites that infect birds. Although avian haemosporidians have been studied extensively in songbirds, less is known about haemosporidian prevalence in raptors, particularly in the United States. We used molecular methods to test blood samples collected from raptors at five wildlife rehabilitation centers across the United States for avian haemosporidians. We identified para...
Historically, racial minority private forest landowners have been underserved in conservation programs. We review the literature to explore the factors that influence landowners of color (LOCs) decisions to participate (or not) in conservation programs and the challenges they face in accessing these programs. Our review is largely based on the experiences of African American forest landowners (generally referred to as “landown...
Integrated Reanalysis of Global Riverine Fish eDNA Datasets Shows Robustness and Congruence of Biodiversity ConclusionsNARA Subscribed
The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized biodiversity assessments in aquatic ecosystems, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of fish communities across diverse regions. However, the global comparability of these eDNA datasets remains ambiguous due to heterogeneous sampling protocols and bioinformatic workflows across studies, making it difficult to assess how robust and comparable the biodiversity patterns infe...
Spatiotemporal Patterns and Drivers of Fish Biodiversity on a Remote Freshwater ArchipelagoNARA Subscribed
Aim Fish communities are shaped by environmental filters operating across different spatiotemporal scales. While many recent studies focus on anthropogenic gradients, few can isolate the role of natural drivers in community assembly. Isle Royale's inland lakes offer a rare opportunity to explore long‐term fish biodiversity dynamics with minimal confounding influences. We analysed fish communities in 23 lakes surveyed in the 19...
Minimising bycatch is a pervasive challenge for sustainable fisheries management, the importance of which is amplified for non‐target species or populations that are in decline. In the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) walleye pollock ( Gadus chalcogrammus ) fishery, salmon—most notably Chinook ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) and chum ( O. keta )—are encountered as bycatch. Salmon bycatch in the EBS pollock fishery has become an issue of...
In landscapes recently impacted by continental glaciation, landslides may occur where topographic relief has been generated by the drainage of glacial lakes and ensuing post-glacial fluvial network development into unconsolidated glacially derived sediments and exhumed bedrock. To investigate linkages among environmental variables, post-glacial landscape development, and landslides, we created a landslide inventory of nearly 1...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
