Purpose of Review Increasing wildfire size and severity across the western United States has created an environmental and social crisis that must be approached from a transdisciplinary perspective. Climate change and more than a century of fire exclusion and wildfire suppression have led to contemporary wildfires with more severe environmental impacts and human smoke exposure. Wildfires increase smoke exposure for broad swaths...

Article impact statement : Machine learning optimizes processes of systematic evidence synthesis and improves its utility for evidence‐based conservation.

The ontogenetic change in turbiditaxis ( i.e . attraction to turbid waters) was examined in the larvae and juveniles of Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus by testing three levels of turbidity (0, 20 and 100 ppm of kaolin). Larvae of 12, 20 and 30 mm standard length ( L S ) exhibited turbiditaxis to both 20 and 100 ppm of kaolin, whereas 6 mm L S larvae and 45 mm L S juveniles did not exhibit any turbiditaxis. Turbiditaxis mi...

The ontogeny of swimming speed, schooling behaviour and jellyfish avoidance was studied in hatchery‐reared Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus to compare its life‐history strategy with two other common pelagic fishes, jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus and chub mackerel Scomber japonicus . Cruise swimming speed of E. japonicus increased allometrically from 1·4 to 3·9 standard length ( L S ) per s ( L S s −1 ) from early larval...

Ontogenetic changes in learning capability were studied in jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus juveniles ranging from 20 to 95 mm standard length ( L S ) collected from either pelagic or coastal habitats. Simple spatial and reversal learning tasks were used to estimate learning capability. There was no size dependence in the scores of simple reward conditioning using a Y‐maze, whereas the scores of reversal learning tasks showed...
