First record of stone moroko (Pseudorasbora parva), an invasive alien fish species, in water bodies of urban green areas in Poland by Wróblewski Paweł, Maciaszek Rafał, Kasprzak Robert

“…The population in pond 2 apparently survived the winter, and the fish caught in June displayed visible signs of sexual dimorphism and were significantly larger (average body mass: 1648 ± 1123 mg; range: 460–6090 mg) than those caught in the pond in the two fall samplings (404 ± 122 mg; 154–729 mg). …”

Understanding Indigenous knowledge of conservation and stewardship before implementing co-production with Western methodologies in resource management by Stafford Maracle, Jennifer Maracle, Stephen Lougheed

“… In the face of an increasing global human popula­tion and multiple anthropogenic environmental stressors including climate change, the limitations of relying solely on Western science and ap­proaches to mitigating impacts, conserving bio­diversity, and managing resources sustainably is apparent. Many Indigenous Peoples have lived sus­tainably as part of their respective environments for millennia, passing conservation and manage­ment practices down generations despite coloniza­tion and genocide. …”

Rapid life-history evolution reinforces competitive asymmetry between invasive and resident species by Chapuis, Elodie, Jarne, Philippe, David, Patrice

“…In addition, our experiments suggest that A. marmorata populations having experienced competition by P. acuta for sufficient time in nature, have evolved to become even less tolerant to it. Though apparently paradoxical, this result supports the hypothesis that rapid life-history evolution has allowed A. marmorata not to resist competition, but to avoid it by increasing its specialization into the colonizer lifestyle previously documented by long-term field surveys. …”

Dynamic Balance is Similar Between Lower Extremities in Elite Fencers by Nader Abdelkader, Stephen H.M. Brown, Tyson A.C. Beach, Samuel J. Howarth

“… # Conclusions The results of this study indicate that dynamic balance is not significantly different between the lead and trail legs in elite fencers, despite the asymmetrical nature of their sport. The apparent symmetry of dynamic balance control in uninjured fencers means that the YBT could be used in this population for monitoring progress during training and rehabilitation…”
