NEW PAPER: Impact of marine hitchhiker load on host energy intake
Determining the energetic and fitness trade-offs associated with symbiotic relationships (mutualism, commensalism or parasitism) can reveal the implication

NEW PAPER: Separating biological signal from methodological noise in home range estimates
Space use is commonly estimated in animal ecology and has become a cornerstone of evidence-based conservation planning, with animal tracking increasingly used to underpin the designation of protec...

NEW PAPER: Low growth rates at high population densities in sea turtles
Over 29 years (1996–2024) in a lagoon environment in the Chagos Archipelago (Indian Ocean) we conducted a mark-recapture growth rate study during whi

NEW PAPER: Optimization of swim depth across diverse taxa during horizontal travel
Semiaquatic taxa, including humans, often swim at the air–water interface where they waste energy generating surface waves. For fully marine animal...
