voluModel: Modelling species distributions in three-dimensional space

Hannah L. Owens et al.

Summary: Ecological niche modelling in terrestrial systems has been developed, but for marine species, using only latitude and longitude coordinates to extract environmental data may result in inaccurate training and prediction of species' geographical distributions. To address this issue, the voluModel R package was developed to efficiently extract three-dimensional environmental data for training ENMs and provide tools for visualization and estimation of model extrapolation risk. The use of three-dimensional environmental data improves the accuracy of training ENMs and inference of species' ecological niches and potential geographic ranges.

Predictive performance of presence-only species distribution models: a benchmark study with reproducible code

Roozbeh Valavi et al.

Summary: This study reanalyzed a dataset of 225 species from six different regions to explore patterns in predictive performance across different methods. It found that the way models are fitted matters, with some emerging methods outperforming traditional regression algorithms.

Using the background of fish photographs to quantify habitat composition in marine ecosystems

Madison H. Bolt et al.

Summary: Citizen science projects that collect photos or recordings are important for monitoring biodiversity. In this study, the background information captured in fish photos was explored to characterize reef habitats. The analysis of fish photos shared on iNaturalist in Australia revealed that the composition of habitat captured in the photos was similar to standard surveys. This highlights the potential value of opportunistic photos in rapidly collecting habitat data.

Macroevolutionary dynamics of climatic niche space

Ignacio Quintero et al.

Summary: This study characterizes the evolution of bird species' temperature and precipitation niche spaces and finds that extant birds evolved from warm, mesic climatic niches to colder and drier environments. The overall rates of niche evolution have steadily increased, with some lineages experiencing exceptionally high rates due to the colonization of new niche spaces. The findings highlight the importance of integrating comprehensive environmental and phylogenetic information in ecological and conservation studies.

Phenotypic plasticity in Cassiopea ornata (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) suggests environmentally driven morphology

Colin J. Anthony et al.

Summary: This study investigates the phenotypic plasticity of Cassiopea ornata from Guam, Micronesia. The researchers found intraspecific phenotypic variation between populations, suggesting different ecotypes rather than species-specific differences. They also found differences in vesicle shapes and sizes as well as trophic modes between populations. Additionally, analyzing a comprehensive cnidome dataset, the study suggests that nematocysts can provide important information for species identification in Cassiopea. This study provides a roadmap for further research that aims to understand the relationship between environmental heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity in this model organism.

Species composition of Discomedusae jellyfish (Scyphozoa) in the coastal waters of Eastern Surabaya, East Java

Liza Gomez Daglio et al.

Summary: This study documents the first records of Discomedusae for the Java Sea using an integrative approach and provides notes about its distribution in the area. Seven species of Discomedusae were recognized, with five recorded for the Indo-Pacific area. The distribution of jellyfish in the coast of Java Sea might be correlated with the jellyfish life history and species-specific ranges of tolerance.

Resolution in species distribution models shapes spatial patterns of plant multifaceted diversity

Yohann Chauvier et al.

Summary: Species distribution models (SDMs) are statistical tools used to predict the geographic distribution of species. The resolution of predictors plays a significant role in model performance and diversity. Previous studies have shown that higher resolution predictors can improve model performance. Our study found that multifaceted diversity, especially relative phylogenetic diversity (rPD), is strongly affected by predictor resolution. Therefore, it is necessary to use higher resolution predictors to explain and predict the distribution of sessile species, particularly in mountain environments. Assessing species diversity is crucial for biodiversity management and conservation.

Summary: There is a disproportional underrepresentation of Black scientists in STEM, especially in recruiting Black faculty and researchers. Factors contributing to this include lack of access to opportunities, negative training experiences, lack of effective mentoring, and other more lucrative career options.

North Pacific warming shifts the juvenile range of a marine apex predator

Kisei R. Tanaka et al.

Summary: During the 2014-2016 North Pacific marine heatwave, unprecedented sightings of juvenile white sharks emerged in central California, contradicting their established life history and potentially creating conflicts with commercial fisheries, protected species conservation, and public safety. Research found a significant increase in white shark numbers in Monterey Bay, predominantly comprised of juveniles, and observed a dramatic shift in the cold limit of their range during the heatwave period.

Raising Awareness of the Severity of Contactless Stings by Cassiopea Jellyfish and Kin

Kaden McKenzie Muffett et al.

Summary: Current doctrine on jellyfish stings primarily focuses on physical contact with jellyfish, but certain jellyfish species like Cassiopea can cause pain and irritation without direct contact. The autonomous stinging structures released by Cassiopea into subtropical waters pose a novel risk for swimmers and waders. Increased awareness of this public safety hazard is needed to prevent incidents in labs, aquariums, and sampling locations.

Observing the Observers: How Participants Contribute Data to iNaturalist and Implications for Biodiversity Science

Grace J. Di Cecco et al.

Summary: The availability and use of citizen science data, particularly on platforms like iNaturalist, have increased in biodiversity science applications. However, a study on iNaturalist observations revealed spatial and temporal biases, as well as user behaviors where individuals tend to specialize on specific taxonomic groups and rarely observe the same species twice. Biodiversity scientists should be cautious of potential systematic biases in their analyses when utilizing iNaturalist data.

Life Cycle of Edible Jellyfish Acromitus hardenbergi Stiasny, 1934 (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) Inhabiting a Brackish-Water Environment

Hiroshi Miyake et al.

Summary: The edible jellyfish Acromitus hardenbergi is an important fishery resource, with polyps expanding their population through budding rather than podocysts. The life cycle of this jellyfish is influenced by dynamic environmental conditions in the estuary, possibly as an adaptation to salinity fluctuations.

First description of wild-collected ephyrae of Lychnorhiza lucerna (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Renato M. Nagata et al.

Summary: This study described for the first time wild ephyrae of Lychnorhiza lucerna from the Patos Lagoon Estuary in Southern Brazil, confirming that these ephyrae have the same morphological features as laboratory-cultivated individuals. Recruitment of L. lucerna ephyrae likely begins during warmer months, but the species may also support a considerable range of variation in the physical environment.
