Contrasting life‐history strategies of three sympatric icefish species in the northern Scotia SeaNARA Subscribed
Comprehending a species' life‐history strategies is crucial to inform effective conservation efforts. Commercial fishing impacts icefish (family: Channichthyidae) in the Scotia Sea, but detailed information on species‐specific life histories remains largely unknown. In this study, the demographic characteristics of mackerel icefish ( Champsocephalus gunnari ), blackfin icefish ( Chaenocephalus aceratus ) and South Georgia icef...
Distribution and ecology of the four Macrourus species by‐caught in the longline fishery at South Georgia, Southern OceanNARA Subscribed
Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and vulnerabilities to fishing. Here, we provide the first comprehensive biological assessment of th...
Multi-species aggregation and movement patterns of danaid butterflies (Nymphalidae: Danainae) in Hong KongNARA Subscribed
Danaid butterflies (Nymphalidae: Danainae) in Asia form seasonal aggregations and/or exhibit migratory flights similar to those of the North American monarch ( Danaus plexippus ). In contrast to this well-studied single-species system, however, Asian danaids form smaller multi-species aggregations and show seasonal movements which remain relatively understudied. In this study, we used publicly reportable stickers to tag 15,918...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2024 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Coastal managers worldwide must prepare for changes in annual wave overtopping events due to climate change and sea-level rise. Research often assesses overtopping discharges by extreme events at a sea wall crest, typically using data from physical models or empirical rules based on scaled experiments. Here, we analyse a unique 1-year field dataset of coastal wave overtopping, from SW England, to determine the number of indivi...
Assessing shifting technology in genetic monitoring of the North American plains bison Federal conservation herdsNARA Subscribed
Human expansion is a major driver of both declining wildlife abundance and the contraction of species’ distributions, increasing the risk of genetic erosion and the need for genetic monitoring. Rapidly advancing technology has expanded the types of genetic data that are available for wildlife conservation. However, inferences from different genetic markers could result in different management decisions and, thus, must be consi...
The Impact of Exposure Dosage and Host Genetics on the Shedding Kinetics of Flavobacterium psychrophilum in Rainbow TroutNARA Subscribed
Flavobacterium psychrophilum , the causative agent of bacterial cold water disease (BCWD), is one of the leading pathogens in rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) aquaculture. To date, there is little knowledge of the transmission kinetics of F. psychrophilum over the course of infection. In particular, how transmission is affected by host genotype and pathogen exposure dosage are not well studied. In order to fill in these k...
Effects of Sulphate‐Reducing Bacteria Mixed‐Species Biofilms on Microbiologically Influenced CorrosionNARA Subscribed
Sulphate reducing prokaryotes are widely acknowledged as key contributors to microbiologically influenced corrosion in industry. Characterisation of their behaviour within mixed‐species biofilms that reflect ecologically relevant conditions is limited. A novel dual anaerobic biofilm reactor protocol allowed a complex microbial consortium to be investigated. Continual biofilm growth resulted in significantly greater corrosive p...
