Blue Mussels (Mytilus edulis) Improve Light Conditions in a Downstream Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Meadow in the Limfjorden, DenmarkNARA Subscribed
Eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) constitutes critical habitat worldwide in terms of ecosystem services and biodiversity, yet less than 30% coverage remains in Danish waters compared to historical records. Persistent eutrophication has substantially reduced water clarity, making light the primary limiting factor for the distribution of eelgrass. Through particle filtration, filter-feeders such as blue mussels ( Mytilus edulis ) can...
Dispersal is one of the most important aspects of animal behavior and can have far‐reaching consequences for organismal ecology and evolution. Despite recent theoretical advances in understanding why individuals within the same population vary in dispersal behavior, relatively few studies have empirically evaluated the long‐term causes and consequences of variable dispersal within natural populations. In this study, we used li...
Redfield revisited: Insights into freshwater seston carbon : nitrogen : phosphorus stoichiometryNARA Subscribed
Seston carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry plays a fundamental role in aquatic ecosystems, influencing nutrient cycling, primary and secondary production, and trophic interactions. In freshwater systems such as lakes, P limitation is more common, whereas in marine environments, N more frequently limits primary production, reflecting different nutrient limitation patterns across aquatic ecosystems. The Re...

Which Body Size Metrics Should Be Used for Assessing Temperature Impacts on Fish Growth and Size?NARA Subscribed
An extensive literature and debate exist on how and why temperature impacts animal, and especially ectotherm, body sizes. However, there remain considerable discrepancies and misunderstandings in the key definitions and concepts of body size used to describe observed temperature impacts across studies. For fish and other animals that continue growing throughout life, body size can be defined as size‐at‐maturity, adult size, as...
Defining an ageing-related pathology, disease or syndrome: International Consensus StatementNARA Subscribed
Around the world, individuals are living longer, but an increased average lifespan does not always equate to an increased health span. With advancing age, the increased prevalence of ageing-related diseases can have a significant impact on health status, functional capacity and quality of life. It is therefore vital to develop comprehensive classification and staging systems for ageing-related pathologies, diseases and syndrom...
Biomass and trait biogeography of cephalopods on the European and North American continental shelvesNARA Subscribed
Aim We evaluate whether the biomass and trait biogeography of cephalopods follow the distribution expected by metabolic theory for ectotherms with rapid growth and high metabolic rate. Location Continental shelves of the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific oceans; global marine ecoregions. Time Period 1968–2020. Major Taxa Studied Cephalopods and fishes (Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes). Methods We map the biomass of cephalop...
Ecological network structure in response to community assembly processes over evolutionary timeNARA Subscribed
The dynamic structure of ecological communities results from interactions among taxa that change with shifts in species composition in space and time. However, our ability to study the interplay of ecological and evolutionary processes on community assembly remains relatively unexplored due to the difficulty of measuring community structure over long temporal scales. Here, we made use of a geological chronosequence across the...
Aim Theory predicts fish community biomass to decline with increasing temperature due to higher metabolic losses resulting in less efficient energy transfer in warm‐water food webs. However, whether these metabolic predictions explain observed macroecological patterns in fish community biomass is virtually unknown. Here, we test these predictions by examining the variation in demersal fish biomass across productive shelf regio...
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is among the most widely studied organisms, but relatively little is known about its natural ecology. Genetic diversity is low across much of the globe but high in the Hawaiian Islands and across the Pacific Rim. To characterize the niche and genetic diversity of C. elegans on the Hawaiian Islands and to explore how genetic diversity might be influenced by local adaptation, we repeatedly sam...
Groundwater is an important global resource and its sustainable use faces major challenges. New methods and advances in computational science could lead to much improved understanding of groundwater processes and subsurface properties. A closer look at current groundwater monitoring practice reveals the need for updates with a special focus on the benefits of high-frequency and high-resolution datasets. To future-proof hydroge...
