The evolution of genotypic parallelism under shared environmental conditions provides strong evidence for the role of natural selection. However, analyses typically examine genomic signatures of selection long after the putative selection event and only assess the repeatability of responses across spatial population replicates. This impedes our ability to attribute a particular response to a given selection pressure and to dis...

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...

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are widely used in cancer therapy yet are strongly associated with acute and chronic cardiotoxicity in patients. There is a critical need to advance our understanding of the pathophysiology that underlies TKI-mediated cardiotoxicity, and central to this is the use of reproducible and relevant preclinical models, which are employed in the evaluation of TKIs across the drug discovery pipeline. W...

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is a major oil-producing area which experiences frequent oil spills that severely impacts the local environment and communities. Effective environmental monitoring and management remain inadequate in this area due to negligence, slow response times following oil spills, and difficulties regarding access and safety. This study investigates the pervasive issue of oil spills in the Niger Delta re...

Intraspecific variation in personality traits is increasingly recognized as an important driver of ecological processes, particularly within the context of species invasions. However, relatively few studies have investigated personality in native fauna with more localized dispersal patterns, and information regarding the existence of personality in stream fishes native to the southeastern US is particularly lacking. In this st...

Forecasting population responses to rapidly changing marine ecosystems requires mechanistic models integrating complex demographic processes, fitted to long time series, across large spatial scales. We used a Bayesian metapopulation model fit to colony census data and climatic covariates spanning 1900–2100 for all Northeast Atlantic colonies of an exemplar seabird, the Northern gannet ( Morus bassanus ) to investigate metapopu...

Purpose of Review Environmental chemical exposures may disrupt child development, with long-lasting health impacts. To date, U.S. studies of early environmental exposures have been limited in size and diversity, hindering power and generalizability. With harmonized data from over 60,000 participants representing 69 pregnancy cohorts, the National Institutes of Health’s Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) P...

The role of phenotypic plasticity during colonization remains unclear due to the shifting importance of plasticity across timescales. In the early stages of colonization, plasticity can facilitate persistence in a novel environment; but over evolutionary time, processes such as genetic assimilation may reduce variation in plastic traits such that species with a longer evolutionary history in an environment can show lower level...

Population estimates are required for effective conservation of many rare marine species, but can be difficult to obtain. The critically endangered red handfish ( Thymichthys politus ) is a coastal anglerfish known only from two fragmented populations in southeast Tasmania, Australia. It is at a high risk of extinction due to low numbers, loss of habitat, and the impacts of climate change. To aid conservation efforts, we provi...
