Isotope metrics refine herbivory among three nominally herbivorous reef fishes of socio-ecological importanceNARA Subscribed
Herbivorous coral reef fishes are often assigned to different functional groups based on feeding mode and presumed ecosystem processes, such as algal removal ( i.e. , functional herbivory). However, these functional assignments do not necessarily identify assimilated resources nor predict nutritional pathways supporting fish biomass. We used stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes of amino acids to refine our understanding of herb...
The Marsupial Database: A comprehensive dataset on the ecology and life history of American and Australasian marsupialsNARA Subscribed
Marsupials are an important but typically neglected group of mammals that have been overlooked in many comparative analyses of vertebrate ecology and life history evolution. In order to address this knowledge bias, we have developed The Marsupial Database. The Marsupial Database contains traits for a phylogenetically diverse set of 414 extant and recently extinct (last 200 years) species from all seven modern marsupial orders...
A Review of Elite Athlete Evidence-Based Knowledge and Preparation for Competing in the HeatNARA Subscribed
Elite athletes will compete in extreme heat more frequently as global land and sea temperatures increase, alongside more intense, frequent and longer duration heatwaves. Best practices to protect athlete health and performance during competition include heat acclimation/acclimatisation [(HA); i.e., long-term pre-competition preparation] complemented by pre-planned and practised cooling and hydration strategies (i.e., short-ter...
Changes in the physical oceanography of the Northwest Atlantic stemming from both natural and anthropogenic climate change impact the foraging ecology and distribution of endangered North Atlantic right whales. In this study, right whale sightings from 1990 to 2018 were analyzed to examine decadal patterns in monthly habitat use in 12 high‐use areas. Depth‐integrated abundances of late‐stage Calanus finmarchicus and Calanus hy...
Climate warming alters the structure of farmland tritrophic ecological networks and reduces crop yieldNARA Subscribed
It is unclear how sustained increases in temperature and changes in precipitation, as a result of climate change, will affect crops and their interactions with agricultural weeds, insect pests and predators, due to the difficulties in quantifying changes in such complex relationships. We simulated the combined effects of increasing temperature (by an average of 1.4°C over a growing season) and applying additional rainwater (10...
