Cooperative foraging occurs across diverse taxa and facilitates prey acquisition and social learning, particularly when prey is shared among group members. In Resident killer whales ( Orcinus orca ater ), prey sharing is central to how individuals acquire salmonid prey, yet current research has relied primarily on boat‐based observations. Using 10 years of drone‐based imagery, we examined prey sharing behaviors in two populati...

The hyperiid amphipod Brachyscelus rapacoides is a warm-water species associated with gelatinous zooplankton. In the Mediterranean it has been reported in association with Rhopilema nomadica in both Israel and Turkey. Here, we document the first record of B. rapacoides in Greek waters, representing the first confirmed record for Europe, based on both morphological examination and DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial COI gene. Sp...

Coastal communities worldwide face accelerating risks from sea-level rise and intensifying storms, yet many lack the capacity and framework needed to adapt. ResilientWoodsHole ( RWH ), a private–public partnership in the low-lying scientific village of Woods Hole, Massachusetts, offers lessons learned and practical strategies for how small communities can meet this challenge. Bringing together thirteen partners, including Wood...

In situ observed data are commonly used as species occurrence response variables in species distribution models. However, the use of remotely observed data from high‐resolution multispectral remote‐sensing images as a source of presence/absence data for species distribution models remains under‐developed. Here, we describe an ensemble species distribution model of black microbial mats ( Nostoc spp.) using presence/absence poin...

Long Island Sound (LIS) is a highly urbanized estuary that receives high inputs of nitrogen pollution leading to summertime hypoxia in the bottom waters of its western region. Though LIS hypoxia has been well-studied for decades, there is a paucity of information regarding eutrophication-induced acidification due to the challenges of obtaining high-precision observations of the marine carbonate system. In this work, we establi...

Forest residue utilization for energy has increased in the southeastern United States and additional increases are anticipated. However, such removals generate concerns regarding potential accelerated erosion and nutrient drains, which could affect site productivity and stream water quality. To address erosion and water quality concerns, postharvest erosion rates, operational feature areas, best management practice (BMP) imple...
