Small mesopelagic fishes dominate the world’s total fish biomass, yet their ecological
importance as prey for large marine animals is poorly understood. To reveal the little-known …

Like landscapes of fear, animals are hypothesized to strategically use lightscapes based on
intrinsic motivations. However, longitudinal evidence of state-dependent risk aversion has …

Stable isotope analysis of slow-growing, metabolically inert tissues is a common method for
investigating foraging ecology in migratory animals, as direct observations of feeding are …

Understanding how insular ecosystems recover or are restructured after the eradication of
an invasive species is crucial in evaluating conservation success and prioritizing island …

Racial and ethnic discrimination persist in science, technology, engineering and mathematics
fields, including ecology, evolution and conservation biology (EECB) and related …

Sleep is a crucial part of the daily activity patterns of mammals. However, in marine species
that spend months or entire lifetimes at sea, the location, timing, and duration of sleep may …

Seasonal resource pulses can have enormous impacts on species interactions. In marine
ecosystems, air-breathing predators often drive their prey to deeper waters. However, it is …
