Scientific working groups bring together experts from different disciplines and perspectives to tackle the "wicked problems" facing natural systems society. Yet participants can feel overwhelmed or inadequate in within academic environments, which tends be most acute at early career stages people systematically marginalized backgrounds. Such feelings block innovation that would otherwise arise gaining full spectrum of unique perspectives, knowledge skills a group. Drawing on personal...
Abstract Diel partitioning of animals within ecological communities is widely acknowledged, yet rarely quantified. Investigation most patterns and processes involves convenient daylight sampling, with little consideration the contributions nocturnal taxa, particularly in marine environments. Here we assess diel reef faunal assemblages at a continental scale utilizing paired day night visual census across 54 shallow tropical temperate reefs around Australia. Day–night differences were...
Mussel cultivation is the most valuable sector of bivalve aquaculture industry in United Kingdom, and largest mussel fishery Britain located Menai Strait, North Wales. The common starfish, Asterias rubens highly abundant widely distributed throughout British waters, affecting distribution abundance prey species such as mussel, Mytilus edulis. This study investigates potential influence Strait on seasonal patterns abundance, distribution, migration A. rubens, aspects their reproductive...
ABSTRACT Recent research into the spatiotemporal dynamics of eDNA in marine environments indicates that signals are highly localized and may dissipate beyond detection levels within a few hours production. This affects whether single‐timepoint sampling, which generally occurs during daylight hours, or cyclic (day/night) interval sampling is necessary to detect both diurnal nocturnal species. Our study investigated short‐term variability derived from fishes macroinvertebrates across three...
