Spatial Genetic Structure and Diversity Reveal Central‐Marginal Patterns in the Rare Freshwater Mussel, Pleurobema riddelliiNARA Subscribed
Aim This study sought to evaluate how historical drainage connectivity and contemporary basin isolation have shaped population genetic structure and diversity in an imperilled species of freshwater mussel, Pleurobema riddellii. Location Covers the range of P. riddellii , spanning seven river basins of the Gulf Coastal Plains of the southern USA, including the San Jacinto, Neches, Sabine, Calcasieu, Red, Ouachita and Pearl rive...
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...
The impact of isosmotic conditions on the metabolism and hypoxia tolerance of a reportedly oxyconforming teleostNARA Subscribed
Fish must manage the competing demands of ion balance and gas exchange across the gills – a physiological tension known as the osmorespiratory compromise. In dynamic estuarine environments, the osmorespiratory compromise may be exacerbated by variable salinity and periods of hypoxia that demand high respiratory work. This study examined whether acute exposure to isosmotic conditions (9 ppt) lowers aerobic metabolism and enhanc...
The late Early Miocene site of Buluk, Kenya, has yielded a rich mammalian fauna comprised of about 30 species in 20 genera, notably including a stem cercopithecoid and a range of primitive hominoids. This temporal interval is poorly represented in Africa but is important because it coincides with the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO), a previous period of global warming tied to a carbon excursion. As the only late Early Miocene f...
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...
Faith without action? Christian ecological conviction and the civic participation gap in AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Three-quarters of the world’s population identify with a religion, suggesting that faith communities constitute a vast (yet under-mobilised) civic infrastructure for sustainability transitions. Christianity remains the world’s largest religious tradition, making it consequential for analysing conviction–action dynamics. Using Australia as a case study, this research investigates why widely professed moral concern for the envir...
Radiocarbon analysis reveals the contribution of aged terrestrial carbon to sedimentary methane cyclingNARA Subscribed
Methane (CH 4 ) production in lacustrine sediments is known to be spatially heterogeneous, varying both horizontally and vertically. Porewater methane concentrations often differ between locations within a lake and with depth within the sediment profile. The drivers of this heterogeneity are often not well understood. Here, we explore methane cycling in the sediments of Lake Constance, the 2 nd largest perialpine lake in Europ...
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...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...

Blowing the trumpet for fungal conservation: a comprehensive assessment of the conservation status of Cantharellus and CraterellusNARA Subscribed
There is a growing appreciation of the role that fungi play in ecosystems, and thus their importance in conservation efforts. However, they remain under-represented and very few species have had their conservation status assessed at a global level. In this study we looked at a well-known group of fungi, the chanterelles of Cantharellus and Craterellus and evaluated the extinction risk of this group using the IUCN Red List meth...
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...
