We hypothesized that prey adopt a similar adaptive strategy to address different predation risks, but their response mechanisms depend on the attributes of predation risk cues. To test this hypothesis, we used <em>Didinium</em>-<em>Paramecium</em> as a predator-prey model to first evaluate the effects of various predation risk cues, including homogenates of predators (TD) and prey (TP) alone or in combination (TM), and the density of conspecific prey on the specific growth rate (SGR) to determine their adaptive strategies and their underlying response mechanisms based on transcriptomic analysis. Our results show that predation risk cues considerably enhance prey SGR, with effects in descending order of TM, TD, and TP. However, such effects gradually decrease as the density of conspecific prey increases until they disappear. The trend in the levels of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in prey exposed to different predation risk cues is similar to that of SGRs. In particular, pathways based on DEG enrichment mediated by predation risk cues involve cellular processes, nutrient metabolism, and synthesis of biological macromolecules. However, they differ in type, number, and location within specific biological processes. In conclusion, <em>Paramecium</em> uses early reproduction strategies to address the risk of predation caused by different cues, and differences in its response mechanisms depend on the attributes of the cues of predation risk, resulting in differences in the SGR of the prey.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101277,"journal":{"name":"Water Biology and Security","volume":"4 3","pages":"Article 100364"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144517886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though the role of people in the (un)intentional spread of aquatic invasive species is increasingly recognized as a priority, there are widespread assumptions about the importance of public awareness in explaining biosecurity behaviors. A disconnect exists between what people think and what they do—as articulated by the simple but powerful “knowledge-action” gap—that warrants attention to clarify how environmental social science research can most effectively advance invasive species prevention. Using survey data collected from aquarium hobbyists in the U.S. state of Illinois, we investigated the role of belief systems in shaping intentions to engage in biosecurity behaviors, such as purchasing only native species as pets. We also examined how beliefs were rooted in multiple forms of knowledge. Self-efficacy was the strongest driver of intended biosecurity behavior, whereas both perceived benefits and risk perceptions were instrumental in explaining hobbyists’ decisions. Beliefs were informed by two types of reported knowledge, which in turn, were influenced by a range of information sources. Our results suggest that a more nuanced conceptualization of public awareness is urgently needed given its critical but often misunderstood role in the formation of beliefs that influence participation in biosecurity behaviors. Knowledge of both biological invasions and biosecurity behaviors, in addition to information sources, needs to be distinguished in future research. These multiple forms of knowledge serve as the foundation for belief systems that activate behavior change among aquarium hobbyists. We also argue that science communication and outreach campaigns that highlight the risks of invasive species while strengthening self-efficacy and perceived benefits of prevention will be the most effective pathways for fostering hobbyist engagement in biosecurity behaviors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101277,"journal":{"name":"Water Biology and Security","volume":"4 3","pages":"Article 100337"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144517485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Between September 2020 and September 2021, underwater noise monitoring was carried out in the Xinluo Baiji National Nature Reserve, located in Hubei province, China, with the aim of assessing the potential impact of underwater noise pollution on the Yangtze finless porpoise. The reserve was divided into 30 sub-sections to systematically monitor underwater noise across the reserve. Passive acoustic monitoring was conducted at each site within these sub-sections during four sampling periods, and these data were subjected to comparative analysis with data collected in 2012 and 2017. The results showed that the root mean square sound pressure levels at each site ranged from 117 to 162 ​dB. Power spectral levels (11.2–152 ​kHz) exceeded the average audiogram levels for the porpoise at most sites. 94.2% and 93.3% of the sites exceeded underwater acoustic thresholds known to induce a hearing threshold shift for the porpoise in terms of both the averaged cumulative unweighted sound exposure level, and cumulative weighted sound exposure level respectively. Noise levels in this section during 2020–2021 were approximately 25 and 30 ​dB higher compared to the levels recorded in 2012 and 2017, and likely due to increased shipping activity and the proximity of sampling sites to the shipping channel.

Understanding the key environmental factors determining life history strategies can provide insights into the mechanisms of community assembly and identify potential biodiversity threats by predicting selective responses to environmental perturbations. We collected life history traits for fish species from 14 river basins across 5 continents to identify their life history strategies and explore the related key environmental factors. Our results showed that fishes from all the river basins conformed to a triangular life history strategy model including periodic, opportunistic, and equilibrium endpoints. However, the proportions of these three strategies varied significantly amongst river basins. For example, the Rhine River basin had a high proportion of fish with the periodic strategy and a low proportion of fish with the opportunistic strategy, whereas the Mississippi River basin displayed the opposite pattern. At the river basin extent, linear regression analysis revealed that the proportion of species with the opportunistic strategy increased with mean annual temperature, annual variation in river discharge, and annual precipitation, and was negatively associated with latitude. In contrast, species with the periodic strategy were negatively related to annual variation in river discharge and positively with latitude. These findings corroborate that opportunistic species are adapted to unpredictable environments, whereas periodic species are adapted to predictable environments. We then used molecular phylogeny to reconstruct the ancestral state of Yangtze fishes and analyzed the percentage composition of the three life history strategies across geological times. We found dominance of the equilibrium strategy in the Upper Cretaceous followed by dominance of periodic fishes before the Paleocene. Opportunistic fish species began to dominate the Yangtze River basin after the Miocene, with more than half of the fish species being opportunistic. This implies that the environmental conditions in the Yangtze River basin evolved from stable (low annual variation in river discharge) to unstable (high annual variation in river discharge and high annual precipitation) states, possibly associated with the onset of seasonality expressed as prevalence of a monsoon climate and the overall alteration of precipitation patterns. Life history theory can give hints for assessing river ecological conditions because changes in strategy proportions may indicate the alteration of environmental conditions. Such changes can aid in developing suitable strategies for river ecological protection and fish resource management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101277,"journal":{"name":"Water Biology and Security","volume":"4 3","pages":"Article 100376"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144517483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
