Studies on biomobility in the Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) or the Harappan Culture provide important insights into pastoral practices, trade and environmental adaptation that shaped the civilisation's economy and social networks. At its height, the IVC engaged in extensive trade across its vast territory, resulting in cultural and economic change across diverse ecological zones. Although archaeological finds indicate trade...

Incorporating plantain into grazed pasture swards is proposed as an approach to reduce nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions. However, consideration must be given to potential emission-swapping, such as a reduction in soil carbon (C), which can contribute to increases in atmospheric CO 2 . We compared the net ecosystem C balance (NECB) of two adjacent newly-sown paddocks (~ 3 ha each) of (i) traditional ryegrass and whi...

Climate change is affecting agricultural productivity and economic stability across many parts of the world, but small islands like Sri Lanka are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. As a result, assessing recent rainfall dynamics is crucial for developing effective climate adaptation measures. This study analysed rainfall data from 44 meteorological stations across Sri Lanka's dry, wet and intermediate climatic z...

Bottom‐tow gear fisheries (trawls and dredges) produce ~24 million mt of harvest annually, representing a globally important animal‐sourced food system. While many are currently sustainably managed, growing concern over the potential for ecosystem impacts from bottom‐tow gears has increased pressure to improve these fisheries. We assembled an international working group of > 30 contributors, including fishing industry particip...

Turbidity is increasing in freshwaters globally due to human activities and is known to affect visually‐mediated behaviours in fish. As anthropogenic impacts continue to degrade aquatic environments, it is critical to determine how sensory systems are affected and what this might mean for population persistence. We investigated visual morphology and opsin gene expression in an African cichlid fish ( Pseudocrenilabrus multicolo...
