B., Milner, N., Edwards, F., Harvey, R., de Bruyn, M., Bista, I., Walsh, K., Emmett, B., Blackman, R., Altermatt, F., Lawson Handley, L., Mächler, E., Deiner, K., Bik, H. M., Carvalho, G., Colbourne, J., Cosby, B. J., …Creer, S. (2024). An integrated spatio-temporal view of riverine biodiversity using environmental DNA metabarcoding. Nature communications, 15(1), Article 4372. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-48640-3

Anthropogenically forced changes in global freshwater biodiversity demand more efficient monitoring approaches. Consequently, environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is enabling ecosystem-scale biodiversity assessment, yet the appropriate spatio-temporal r...

Global perspectives and transdisciplinary opportunities for locust and grasshopper pest management and research (2024)
Journal Article
Ries, M. W., Adriaansen, C., Aldobai, S., Berry, K., Bal, A. B., Catenaccio, M. C., Cigliano, M. M., Cullen, D. A., Deveson, T., Diongue, A., Foquet, B., Hadrich, J., Hunter, D., Johnson, D.

Global perspectives and transdisciplinary opportunities for locust and grasshopper pest management and research. Journal of Orthoptera Research, 33(2), 169-216. https://doi.org/10.3897/jor.33.112803

Locusts and other migratory grasshoppers are transboundary pests. Monitoring and control, therefore, involve a complex system made up of social, ecological, and technological factors. Researchers and those involved in active management are calling fo... Read More about Global perspectives and transdisciplinary opportunities for locust and grasshopper pest management and research.

Inland recreational fisheries contribute nutritional benefits and economic value but are vulnerable to climate change (2024)
Journal Article
Lynch, A. J., Embke, H. S., Nyboer, E. A., Wood, L. E., Thorpe, A., Phang, S. C., Viana, D. F., Golden, C. D., Milardi, M., Arlinghaus, R., Baigun, C., Beard, T. D., Cooke, S. J., Cowx, I. G., Koehn, J. D., Lyach, R., Potts, W., Robertson, A. M., Schmidhuber, J., & Weyl, O. L. (2024). Inland recreational fisheries contribute nutritional benefits and economic value but are vulnerable to climate change. Nature Food, 5, 433-443. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-00961-8

Inland recreational fishing is primarily considered a leisure-driven activity in freshwaters, yet its harvest can contribute to food systems. Here we estimate that the harvest from inland recreational fishing equates to just over one-tenth of all rep...

Synthetic analysis of trophic diversity and evolution in Enantiornithes with new insights from Bohaiornithidae (2024)
Journal Article
Miller, C. V., Bright, J. A., Wang, X., Zheng, X., & Pittman, M. (2024). Synthetic analysis of trophic diversity and evolution in Enantiornithes with new insights from Bohaiornithidae. eLife, 12, Article RP89871. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.89871

Enantiornithines were the dominant birds of the Mesozoic, but understanding of their diet is still tenuous. We introduce new data on the enantiornithine family Bohaiornithidae, famous for their large size and powerfully built teeth and claws. In tand...

Movements and habitat use of native and invasive piscivorous fishes in a temperate and channelized lowland river (2024)
Journal Article
Nolan, E. T., Hindes, A. M., Bolland, J. D., Davies, P., Gutmann Roberts, C., Tarkan, A. S., & Britton, J. R. (2024). Movements and habitat use of native and invasive piscivorous fishes in a temperate and channelized lowland river. Hydrobiologia, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-024-05533-2

Lowland temperate rivers provide important habitats for piscivorous fishes, but with their year-round spatial and temporal habitat use is often poorly understood, including their use of off-channel habitats. Here, the movements and habitat use of the... Read More about Movements and habitat use of native and invasive piscivorous fishes in a temperate and channelized lowland river.

Institution level awarding gap metrics for identifying educational inequity: useful tools or reductive distractions? (2024)
Journal Article
Hubbard, K. (2024). Institution level awarding gap metrics for identifying educational inequity: useful tools or reductive distractions?. Higher Education, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10734-024-01216-y

Equity is increasingly seen as a core value for Higher Education systems around the world. (In)equity is often measured through construction of achievement gaps, quantifying the relative outcomes of two populations of students. Institution-level gaps...

Genetic consequences of improved river connectivity in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) (2024)
Journal Article
Moccetti, P., Dodd, J. R., Joyce, D. A., Nunn, A. D., Gillespie, B., & Bolland, J. D. (2024). Genetic consequences of improved river connectivity in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.). Evolutionary Applications, 17(4), Article e13660. https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.13660

Fragmentation of watercourses poses a significant threat to biodiversity, particularly for migratory fish species. Mitigation measures such as fishways, have been increasingly implemented to restore river connectivity and support fish migration. The...
