Sound the alarm: A meta‐analysis on the effect of aquatic noise on fish behavior and physiology
Kieran Cox,Kieran Cox,Lawrence P. Brennan,Travis G. Gerwing,Travis G. Gerwing,Sarah E. Dudas,Sarah E. Dudas,Francis Juanes +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the majority of fish species are sensitive to changes in the aquatic soundscape, and depending on the noise source, species responses may have extreme and negative fitness consequences.

TL;DR: The large number of unprofessional comments, and IIUCs observed could heighten psychological distress among investigators, particularly those at an early stage in their career.
Relative importance of biotic and abiotic forces on the composition and dynamics of a soft-sediment intertidal community.
TL;DR: It is suggested that community and population structure were relatively uncoupled from the structuring influences of biotic and abiotic factors in this system because of high concentrations of resources that sustain high densities of infauna and limit exploitative competition.
Community assessment techniques and the implications for rarefaction and extrapolation with Hill numbers.

TL;DR: Density, richness, Shannon diversity, and Simpson diversity estimates varied between methods, despite assessments occurring at the same locations, with photo quadrats detecting the lowest estimates and full quadrat assessments the highest.

Mercury and methylmercury bioaccumulation by polychaete worms is governed by both feeding ecology and mercury bioavailability in coastal mudflats.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that feeding depth and method of feeding are more important than trophic position or sediment Hg concentrations for predicting Hg bioaccumulation.
