Parasites play a critical yet understudied role in Arctic ecosystems, particularly within key subsistence species such as Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ). As the Arctic undergoes rapid climate-driven change, establishing baseline parasite biodiversity is essential for monitoring ecological shifts and anticipating emerging health and conservation concerns. This study provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of Arct...
Fish Assemblage Shift Following Abrupt Seagrass Loss in a Southwest Florida Tidal CreekNARA Subscribed
Phase shifts can occur in ecosystems because of external stressors. Such transitions from one state (e.g., clear water, seagrass) to another (e.g., phytoplankton blooms, bare substrate) continue to be documented worldwide. In estuaries, stressors related to urban and suburban development are often implicated in phase shifts, including altered hydrology and eutrophication. Tidal creeks may be especially prone to phase shifts as...
Heterospecific social behavior in primates: insights into the evolutionary roots of pet-keepingNARA Subscribed
Primate interspecific interactions with both other primates and non-primate species range from predator–prey dynamics to affiliative behaviors such as grooming, play, and carrying. While many primates participate in interspecific associations or commensal relationships, to our knowledge interspecific social interactions have never been systematically synthesized. Here, we present the first comprehensive review of such interact...
Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservationNARA Subscribed
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time. Sharks, rays, and chimaeras (Chondrichthyes) have now been comprehensively assessed twice (1996–2011 and 2012–2021) with hindcast assessments from 1970 onward, yielding an unprece...
The Integration of Fire Ecology and Freshwater Ecosystems in North America: Knowledge Gaps and Research NeedsNARA Subscribed
Wildfires, unplanned fires that start and spread under the influence of weather and fuel composition, are increasing in frequency, duration, and severity across North America. While wildfires are one component of wildland fire, a broader natural process in many ecosystems, their changing behavior poses growing ecological and management challenges. Although wildfire is widely recognized as an important disturbance, empirical re...

Small jellyfish, large consequences: The overlooked predatory role of hydromedusae in subtropical estuarine ecosystemsNARA Subscribed
Hydromedusae are often overlooked in pelagic trophic ecology compared to large scyphozoans. We investigated the diet, prey selectivity, ingestion rates, digestion times, and predation impacts of the native Liriope tetraphylla and non‐indigenous species Cnidostoma fallax and Moerisia inkermanica in a subtropical estuary of the southwestern Atlantic. While all three species predominantly consumed copepods, L. tetraphylla exhibit...
Assessing the integration of social marketing principles in ivory demand management interventions in China and Southeast AsiaNARA Subscribed
Consumer demand for ivory perpetuates the unsustainable and illegal killing of African elephants and other wildlife species. Interventions that aim to change consumer behavior are increasingly recognized as a crucial element of demand management. However, poor design and implementation have limited their effectiveness. We evaluated how ivory demand‐management interventions in China and neighboring Southeast Asian countries ali...
