Editors are biased too: An extension of Fox et al. (2023)'s analysis makes the ...

1. Functional Ecology conducted a randomised trial comparing single- and double- blind peer review; a recent analysis of this data found substantial evidence for bias by reviewers. 2. We show that this dataset can also be analysed for editor bias, after controlling for both reviewer bias and paper quality. 3. Our analysis shows that editors tend to be more likely to invite high-scoring man- uscripts for revisio...

Joint species distribution models unveil co-occurrences between freshwater muss...

Freshwater mussels are among the most threatened taxa in the world, partially due to the dependence on fish hosts to complete their life cycle. Knowledge about the role of environmental and biotic drivers in determining mussels' distribution is currently lacking. We aimed to assess the role of environmental and biotic drivers in determining the distribution of mussels and their fish hosts and to test if co-occu...

Identifying freshwater priority areas for cross-taxa interactions

Information about biotic interactions (e.g. competition, predation, parasitism, diseases, mutualism, allelopathy) is fundamental to better understand species distribution and abundance, ecosystem functioning, and ultimately guide conservation efforts. However, conservation planning often overlooks these important interactions. Here, we aim to demonstrate a new framework to include biotic interactions into Marxa...

Streams in the Mediterranean Region are not for mussels: predicting extinctions...

Climate change is becoming the leading driver of biodiversity loss. The Mediterranean region, particularly southwest-ern Europe, is already confronting the consequences of ongoing global warming. Unprecedented biodiversity declines have been recorded, particularly within freshwater ecosystems. Freshwater mussels contribute to essential ecosystem services but are among the most threatened faunal groups on Earth....

Effect of moisture on the characteristics of hazelnut kernel during storage

The organoleptic and nutritional quality of hazelnuts during storage can be greatly influenced by environment conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of moisture on the physicochemical characteristics of hazelnut kernels when stored under controlled conditions of temperature (25 °C) and different relative humidities (RH) (57.6, 68.9, and 78.6%). To obtain these RH in the hazelnut storage at...
