Climate‐informed stock‐recruitment models identify potential environmental links for commercial fish stocksNARA Subscribed
Several studies have demonstrated non‐stationarity in marine fish maximum per capita recruitment rate, which may be linked to regional environmental drivers. Exploring relationships between environmental drivers and time‐varying recruitment rate will provide insight into recruitment processes, and suggest how fisheries managers may adapt biological reference points and adjust harvest‐control rules in response to changes in the...
Addressing Bias in Non‐Probability Fisheries Surveys Using Multilevel Regression and Poststratification ApproachesNARA Subscribed
Quantifying harvest of fish stocks is challenging as census data are often unavailable, so surveys are required. Traditional probability‐based surveys use random sampling to obtain representative data that can be scaled to estimate total impact. However, these surveys are costly, so cheaper, non‐probability, citizen science surveys of self‐selected participants are becoming commonplace. Respondents in these surveys may not be...
RSP: a reef stereo photogrammetry toolkit for time and cost-effective underwater 3D reconstructionNARA Subscribed
Photogrammetry has emerged as an important tool for underwater reef monitoring and addressing a wide range of research questions. However, these methodologies are typically labour-intensive and demand specialized expertise in survey techniques, image processing workflows, and three-dimensional modelling pipelines, frequently limiting the development of accurately scaled models. We introduce RSP (Reef Stereo Photogrammetry), an...
Short-term metabolic stress response of the temperate cup coral Caryophyllia smithii to a simulated marine heatwaveNARA Subscribed
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change, posing significant threats to marine biodiversity. While tropical coral responses to thermal stress are well studied, less is known about the responses of temperate, azooxanthellate corals to temperature anomalies. The aim of our study was to investigate the physiological response of the temperate scleractinian coral Caryophyllia smithii t...
Mixed Support for Pleistocene Sea‐Level Fluctuations in Promoting the Diversification of Anole Lizards in the Northern Lesser AntillesNARA Subscribed
In the Pleistocene, climatic changes resulted in cycles of sea‐level fluctuation that periodically fragmented islands into aggregate island complexes. These temporary saltwater barriers between islands within an island bank had the potential to decrease migration between populations on separate islands, resulting in increased genetic divergence and potentially speciation. In the Lesser Antilles, Anolis lizards (anoles) are dis...
Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019NARA Subscribed
Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and whales occurred year‐round. The total number of (on‐ and off‐effort) sightings and s...
Linking feldspar luminescence phenomena and mineralogy using spatially resolved techniquesNARA Subscribed
Feldspars, the most abundant mineral group in the Earth’s crust, exhibit a striking chemical and structural variety resulting from variations in their crystallisation environments and post-crystallisation processes. Since feldspars record both formation and alteration processes and conditions, they are key components in geological studies and valuable for developing tools to reconstruct past environmental change. Thermally and...
Impact of Elevated Suspended Sediment on the Physiology of the Temperate Sponge Suberites australiensisNARA Subscribed
Suspended sediment (SS) is a major stressor to coastal marine ecosystems worldwide, with SS loads expected to increase under future anthropogenic and climatic pressures. Sponges, as obligate filter feeders, are often assumed to be sensitive to elevated SS, yet responses vary widely among species, and little is known about physiological impacts of SS. Here, we examined the response of the abundant temperate sponge Suberites aus...
