Trade-offs with telemetry-derived contact networks for infectious disease studies in wildlife

Marie L. J. Gilbertson et al.

Summary: Telemetry sampling in network studies of infectious disease in wildlife has significant impact on network structure estimates, while spatial configurations of populations play a role in telemetry sampling requirements. The use of telemetry data can inform disease management strategies in wildlife infectious disease.

Water column structure defines vertical habitat of twelve pelagic predators in the South Atlantic

Daniel J. Madigan et al.

Summary: Quantifying the vertical distributions of 12 pelagic predators in a large-scale marine protected area in the tropical South Atlantic Ocean revealed diverse depth distributions grouped into four categories based on thermal physiology and foraging ecology. These vertical habitat differences were influenced by water column features and largely conserved physical constraints from other ocean basins, providing valuable information for fisheries practices, bycatch risk assessments, and population estimates.

Estimating demographic parameters for fisheries management using acoustic telemetry

K. J. Lees et al.

Summary: Traditional mark-recapture methods in fisheries may have challenges and biases, while acoustic telemetry mark-recapture methods can overcome these issues but are not commonly used in fisheries management. Studies have identified various types of acoustic telemetry mark-recapture designs, highlighting their benefits and providing planning considerations for wider application.

Impacts of Oxazepam on Perch (Perca fluviatilis) Behavior: Fish Familiarized to Lake Conditions Do Not Show Predicted Anti-anxiety Response

Johan Fahlman et al.

Summary: The study hypothesized that European perch populations exposed to oxazepam would exhibit reduced anti-predator behavior, but the results showed that perch exposed to oxazepam in a lake actually displayed increased anti-predator behavior compared to a control lake. This indicates that the effects of oxazepam on perch behavior in a natural ecosystem may be negligible compared to other environmental factors.

Sea temperature effects on depth use and habitat selection in a marine fish community

Carla Freitas et al.

Summary: Understanding how aquatic animals respond to temperature variation is crucial for predicting future climate change impacts and guiding conservation efforts. In a coastal area of Norway, a study found that fish species adjusted their behavior and habitat selection based on thermal preferences, with cod preferring colder waters, while pollack and ballan wrasse favored warmer waters in different seasons. This study highlights the importance of behavioral plasticity in coping with temperature variability and potential adaptation to climate change.

Environmental conditions, diel period, and fish size influence the horizontal and vertical movements of red snapper

Nathan M. Bacheler et al.

Summary: The study used an acoustic positioning system to track the horizontal and vertical movements of red snapper, revealing individual variations in movement speed and distance from the bottom. Movement rate was found to be lower during the day, negatively correlated with bottom water temperature, and vertical movements were influenced by bottom upwelling events.

Summary: The study explores the importance of cleaning symbiosis for highly mobile species to visit inshore reef environments, finding that manta ray habitat use is significantly associated with cleaner fish distribution and hard coral substrate, with cleaning interactions dominating their habitat use at the site.

Dynamic Thermal Corridor May Connect Endangered Loggerhead Sea Turtles Across the Pacific Ocean

Dana K. Briscoe et al.

Summary: The North Pacific Loggerhead sea turtle undergoes a significant migration from nesting grounds in Japan to foraging grounds in the eastern North Pacific, with a new hypothesis suggesting the existence of a thermal corridor connecting these habitats. By studying oceanography and tracking data, it was found that a small percentage of loggerhead turtles move eastward during anomalously warm ocean conditions, providing insights into recruitment pathways. The discovery of this potential thermal corridor offers the opportunity to explore the development of dynamic ocean pathways for this protected species, shedding light on a longstanding mystery in sea turtle ecology.

A guide to state-space modeling of ecological time series

Marie Auger-Methe et al.

Summary: State-space models (SSMs) are a crucial modeling framework for analyzing ecological time series, providing flexibility to model different types of data and separating biological variation from observation error to improve estimation accuracy. By allowing researchers to model these two sources of stochasticity separately, SSMs generally yield better estimates of ecological quantities of interest.
