Microplastic transport through estuaries represents a critical and poorly understood pathway from catchments and wastewater sources to coastal zones. Microplastics can host microbial communities including pathogenic microorganisms that pose serious public health risks for coastal activities. This study investigated the role of estuarine hydrodynamics on microplastic dispersal in the Conwy estuary, UK, characterised by density-...
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...
Butterflies and moths have played historically important roles in developing our understanding of both ecology and evolutionary biology, and neuroethology. In both contexts, the diversity of behavioral strategies and specializations displayed by different Lepidoptera make them informative case studies. However, as in neuroscience more broadly, lepidopteran neuroethology has tended to focus on intricate functional studies withi...
The diversity of lepidopteran spatial orientation strategies – neuronal mechanisms and emerging challenges in a changing worldNARA Subscribed
The Lepidoptera, butterflies and moths, display an astonishing diversity of spatial orientation strategies essential for survival, reproduction, and ecological success. These spatial orientation strategies range from basic taxes to light, wind, gravity, and chemical cues, to more advanced strategies such as straight-line dispersal, multigenerational migration across continents, and complex trap-lining foraging involving long-t...
Purpose of Review Forest ecosystem multifunctionality, the capacity of forests to simultaneously deliver multiple ecosystem functions and services, is being increasingly affected by pressures stemming from anthropogenic activities and climate change. Here, we conducted a systematic literature review to explore how forest ecosystem multifunctionality was evaluated in the literature, and to identify its main drivers. Recent Find...
The drivers of animal social structures remain poorly understood, particularly in species such as cetaceans that are wide‐ranging and challenging to study. Understanding the factors shaping sociality can shed light on population ecology, gene flow, and information transmission. Here, we investigated variation in social structure among three independent island‐associated stocks of common bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus...
