Research on cephalopod early ontogeny has significantly advanced in recent decades, including embryo organogenesis and neurogenesis and early behavioural adaptations, particularly in commercially important and coastal species. Within this context, here we compiled current knowledge on the collection, handling and care under experimental conditions and monitoring in the field of cephalopod eggs and egg masses. It covers field o...

With heatwaves set to increase in frequency, intensity and duration, a policy shift is needed to build climate resilience on national and local levels. In London, a new strategy has been introduced to build urban heat resilience with the ‘Cool Spaces’ scheme. Cool spaces are free, public, indoor areas where people can escape hot weather and reduce heat-related health risks. Despite the scheme’s potential, it is unclear what ty...

Many predatory fishes hunt and feed in structurally complex environments making their feeding behaviors challenging to observe. We designed a transparent microhabitat to document how the California moray ( Gymnothorax mordax ) uses its elongated body to apply leverage during crevice foraging within the rocky reef. To generate leverage, these predatory fish use complex behaviors to extract prey from tight spaces. Morays form an...

Understanding the effects of climate change on ecological communities has been limited by a lack of general theory for how temperature affects competition. To fill this knowledge gap, we integrated Modern Coexistence Theory and the Metabolic Theory of Ecology by incorporating empirically derived temperature sensitivities into Modern Coexistence Theory's central model. We then simulated warming in consumer‐resource systems and...

Shortleaf pine has the broadest range of the southern pine species, occurring in 22 states and extending north into New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York (Staten Island). Shortleaf pine has been understudied compared to loblolly pine and longleaf pine, typically favored for timber production and conservation value, respectively. The extensive range of shortleaf pine contributes to a high degree of variability within and among...

Abiotic, biotic, and spatial processes shape patterns of biodiversity in coastal ecosystems. In this study, we test how these processes influence eelgrass‐associated invertebrate diversity in a subarctic seascape. We sampled invertebrate assemblages in 12 meadows along 300 km of coastline in James Bay, Canada, and tested the relative contributions of abiotic conditions, spatial arrangement, and meadow attributes in explaining...

Adult salmon enteritis (ASE), characterised by severe ulcerative enteritis, has been linked to prespawn mortality (PSM) in spring Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) in certain rivers in Oregon, USA. Catastrophic losses of spring Chinook salmon have resulted from PSM, a significant threat to their population stability. Understanding the causes of ASE is therefore critical for mitigating PSM and supporting conservation....

When quantifying changes over time in the natural environment, the stability of the observations used should be considered. Stability conceptually refers to how accurately true geophysical changes and trends are reflected in observational data. We argue the need for a better approach to defining and quantifying stability consistently across climate data records. We propose that the appropriate stability metric is the stability...
