Prevalence and antibiotic resistance profile of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in pyodermic dogs in Asia: a systematic review and meta-analysis - Mohammad Farzad Afshar; Nasir Ahmad Sarwary; Syafiqah Ishak; Tahera Hashimi; Priscilla Nasthalina Jabing; Mohammed Babatunde Sadiq; Chen Hui Cheng (Veterinary Research Communications, 2026)
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is the primary bacterial agent associated with canine pyoderma, with rising concern over methicillin-resistant strains in Asia. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of methicillin-susceptible (MSSP) and methicillin-resistant (MRSP) S. pseudintermedius from canine skin infections and to evaluate their antimicrobial resistance profiles. Following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) guidelines, studies published between 2015 and 2024 were retrieved from Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google. Only cross-sectional studies from Asian countries reporting disk diffusion susceptibility testing in dogs with pyoderma were included. Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria, with overall moderate methodological quality. Fourteen studies were included in prevalence analyses. The pooled prevalence of MSSP was 27.9% (95% CI: 18.8–39.3) and MRSP was 30.7% (95% CI: 21.3–42.1), with high heterogeneity between the included studies (I 2 = 93.85%; p < 0.001). The pooled prevalence of the mec A gene among MRSP was 11.9%. Meta-regression revealed no significant difference between MSSP and MRSP prevalence ( p = 0.853). MSSP isolates had the lowest resistance to amoxicillin–clavulanic acid and oxacillin, whereas MRSP exhibited broader resistance, particularly to oxacillin, clindamycin, and doxycycline. These findings highlight the substantial burden of MRSP in canine pyoderma in Asia and reinforce the need for susceptibility-guided therapy and strengthened antimicrobial stewardship.

Sodium Silicate Grouting: Mechanisms, Environmental Impacts, and Research Directions - Mohammad Valibeknejad; Thomas Sweijen; Alraune Zech; Julian Quodbach; Noushine Shahidzadeh; Mariette Wolthers; Amir Raoof (Transport in Porous Media, 2026)
Sodium silicate grouting is a widely used technique for reducing soil permeability and reinforcing unconsolidated soils. Despite decades of use, its field performance remains inconsistent, with efficiency strongly influenced by soil heterogeneity, groundwater composition, and contaminant interactions. In addition, the environmental risks associated with silica gels, such as leaching of diluted grout into groundwater and long-term degradation, are not fully understood. This review, the first comprehensive synthesis since the 1990s, integrates insights from scientific studies, field applications, and industry practice. We examine the coupled processes governing injection, gelation, and post-gelation evolution across micro-, pore-, and field scales, and identify the key hydraulic, chemical, thermal, and environmental parameters controlling grouting performance. Particular attention is given to sand–gel interactions, microstructural development, permeability reduction mechanisms, and factors governing strength enhancement. The review also evaluates environmental impact and discusses the potential of Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) for monitoring grout continuity. Finally, we outline critical research directions needed to develop constitutive relationships for grout properties, improve predictive modelling, and enable more reliable, sustainable, and environmentally compatible applications of silicate grouting.

SPEI-Based Drought Regionalization and Cluster-Specific Machine Learning Forecasting in the U.S. Black Belt - Negin Nahidi; Wesley C. Zech; Mohammad Ismaeil Kamali; Rouzbeh Nazari (Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2026)
This study evaluates the historical spatial variability of drought in the Black Belt region of the southeastern U.S. by classifying the study area into drought-variation clusters and assesses the performance of three machine learning models for short-term drought forecasting. The Black Belt is a distinct agricultural subregion of the southeastern U.S., characterized by fertile Blackland soils, strong dependence on precipitation-based farming, limited irrigation infrastructure, uneven climatic monitoring coverage, socioeconomic challenges, and a history of repeated severe drought events that have caused substantial agricultural and water-supply impacts…Monthly gridded Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) [~ 5 km (3.1 miles) spatial resolution] was computed from precipitation and temperature data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) nClimGrid-Daily dataset, based on Global Historical Climatology Network-Daily (GHCN-Daily) observations, and used as the primary drought indicator for the 1990–2025 study period. SPEI includes precipitation and temperature-driven evapotranspiration, which strongly influences drought onset in warm subtropical regions such as the Black Belt. The 6-month accumulation period ( $${\text{S}\text{P}\text{E}\text{I}}_{6}$$ SPEI 6 ) is suitable for capturing agricultural drought by representing soil moisture conditions related to crop stress. Since the Black Belt has sparse and unevenly distributed weather stations, high-resolution gridded NOAA data provides spatially continuous, quality-controlled coverage (NOAA NCEI, n.d.). The Silhouette method was used to select influential $${\text{S}\text{P}\text{E}\text{I}}_{6}$$ SPEI 6 statistical parameters and validate three clustering algorithms (i.e., K-means, Hierarchical, and Expectation–Maximization) to create drought clusters from $${\text{S}\text{P}\text{E}\text{I}}_{6}$$ SPEI 6 data. K-means performed best, identifying three distinct drought-characteristic clusters. Three machine-learning models, Support Vector Regression (SVR), the M5P model tree (a decision-tree algorithm that fits linear regressions at its terminal nodes), and a Hybrid ensemble model combining SVR and M5P outputs, were trained for each cluster for 1-, 2-, and 3-month forecasting horizons using lagged $${\text{S}\text{P}\text{E}\text{I}}_{6}$$ SPEI 6 time series. Model performance declined for longer horizons and for the extreme-like drought characteristics, while the Hybrid model achieved the best results. These findings highlight the effectiveness of combining drought clustering with region-specific machine learning models for improved short-term drought forecasting in heterogeneous environments such as the U.S. Black Belt.

A quantitative comparison of tools for monitoring the abundance of crown-of-thorns starfish and coral cover - Emma Lawrence; Scott D. Foster; Samuel A. Matthews; David Williamson; Morgan S. Pratchett; Jason Doyle; Scott Bainbridge; Sven Uthicke; Peter C. Doll; Brano Kusy; Mohammad A. Armin; Mary C. Bonin (Coral Reefs, 2026)
Effective monitoring of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) populations and coral cover is critical for informing management of COTS outbreaks throughout their tropical Indo-Pacific range, including Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. However, existing monitoring tools such as manta tow and cull diver surveys have well-known limitations including accuracy and resource demands. This study evaluates a range of monitoring tools for assessing both COTS and coral populations. Tools that measure both COTS and coral include manta tow surveys, scooter-assisted large area diver-based (SALAD) surveys and surveys undertaken using the ReefScan towed camera platform. For COTS-only monitoring, we examine cull diver surveys and environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling. Data from side-by-side deployments on seven to ten reefs (depending on the tool) with varying COTS densities and coral cover were collected and analysed to calibrate estimates between tools. The calibration models developed will aid in integrating data from diverse sources and facilitate the translation of estimates based on one monitoring tool to another. Critically, the models provide a means of estimating COTS density (COTS per hectare) for monitoring tools that do not directly collect this measure, allowing more meaningful decision-making around ecological thresholds and enabling threshold-based management regardless of which tool collected the data. The study emphasises that each tool has specific applications for addressing knowledge gaps and informing management decisions, advocating for an integrated, multi-tool monitoring strategy that leverages the strengths of each tool to improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of COTS and coral monitoring.

Smart Innovations and Sustainability in EU Waste Material Trading: Evidence of Quantile Decomposition in EU Circular Economy Transitions - Eszter Lukács; Peter Németh; Md. Rashed; Mohammad Fakhrul Islam (Circular Economy and Sustainability, 2026)
Europe stands at the threshold of a transformative circular economy transition across the European Union (EU). However, to achieve a sustainable framework that improves resource use, transforms waste generator behavior, and guides high-polluting industries toward circular practices, the EU needs more efficient recovery networks and material circulation across member states. Using 14 years of cross-border waste recovery data from 2010 to 2023 across 27 EU countries, this study investigates the heterogeneous associations of several determinants of exports of notified waste for recovery (EWR) through the method of moments quantile regression (MMQR) to decompose location (median) and scale (dispersion) effects, alongside bootstrap quantile regression (BSQR) for robustness, the generalized method of moments (GMM) for persistence and endogeneity, and Granger causality tests for directional relationships. Our investigation identifies several policy factors associated with transboundary recovery participation and circular economy transition. The relationship also shows reverse Granger causality. AI innovation shows no significant associations with waste trade or the possibility of deployment gaps, but R&D intensity shows robust positive associations across all quantiles, with forward Granger causality supporting causal precedence. The recycling rate of municipal waste (RMW) has monotonically increasing associations in all quantiles and has bidirectional Granger causality, implying possible feedback mechanisms. These findings, put together, inform policymakers to consider market mechanisms, institutionalizing R&D investment, emphasizing infrastructure development, driving economic growth, and leveraging technological capabilities to support sustainable transboundary waste recovery networks and circular transition across the EU.

Post-earthquake assessment and strengthening of the historical Elbistan Museum located at the epicenter of the Mw 7.6 Kahramanmaraş earthquake - Mohammad Manzoor Nasery; Mohammad Saber Sadid; Fatıma Zehra Sadid (Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2026)
The Elbistan Museum, located near the epicenter of the Mw 7.6 Elbistan earthquake, was affected by the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake sequence (Mw 7.7 Pazarcık and Mw 7.6 Elbistan), with the most severe structural damage occurring during the second mainshock. Diagonal tensile and shear cracks appeared on interior masonry walls, while the exterior façades showed surface cracking, material separation, and partial stone detachment. This study investigates the observed damage through detailed field surveys and digital twin modeling to evaluate the museum’s structural performance. During the 2017 restoration process, the building underwent structural retrofitting interventions. Independent internal steel frames were introduced to carry live and dead loads from visitors and intermediate floors, thereby reducing vertical load demand on the masonry walls. In addition, a continuous steel ring beam was installed at the roof level to provide rigid diaphragm action and enhance global stiffness. Three-dimensional finite element (FE) analyses were performed in ABAQUS using a macro-modeling approach. Linear modal and response spectrum analyses were conducted to evaluate the global dynamic characteristics, followed by nonlinear time-history analyses to assess seismic performance under strong ground motion. The results demonstrated that the steel ring beam significantly improved the structural response. Compared with the Unreinforced Masonry Model (URM), the dominant period decreased by approximately 9%, while stresses and roof displacements in the Steel Roof-Diaphragm Model (SRDM) were reduced by 34% and 41%, respectively. Furthermore, micro-model analyses were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed clamp and dowel reinforcements for wall reconstruction. The strengthened walls exhibited 28% lower out-of-plane displacements and no material detachment, indicating more stable behavior. These findings confirm that the proposed technique provides an effective strengthening solution for thin, ashlar-faced rubble masonry walls such as those of the Elbistan Museum.

Mitochondrial DNA markers reveal panmixia and new sister lineage in the eastern Red Sea mesopelagic fish - Kah Kheng Lim; Carlos Angulo-Preckler; Lutfi Afiq-Rosli; Vincent A. Pieribone; Mohammad A. Qurban; Carlos M. Duarte (Marine Biodiversity, 2026)
Cryptic diversity in mesopelagic fish is increasingly documented across the Indo-Pacific, but remains understudied in the Red Sea, a region known for its high endemism and unique ecological conditions. We investigated cryptic diversity in Benthosema spp. and population genetic structure in the two most abundant mesopelagic fishes in the eastern Red Sea, the Benthosema pterotum species complex and the endemic Vinciguerria mabahiss . Using concatenated mitochondrial ( 12S , 16S , and COI ) sequences from 275 V. mabahiss and 84 Benthosema specimens, we detected panmictic populations in both species. Both species showed high haplotype diversity and signatures of recent demographic expansion, supported by star-like haplotype networks, negative neutrality tests, and Bayesian skyline plots. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a cryptic lineage ( Benthosema cf. pterotum ) in the eastern Red Sea, forming a sister lineage within the genus. Its genetic similarity with Gulf of Oman populations suggests ongoing gene flow through the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb. These findings challenge current taxonomic frameworks and highlight the importance of accurate species delimitation for biodiversity monitoring and fisheries management. High genetic connectivity and demographic expansion in both mesopelagic fish species suggest resilience driven by large effective population sizes and high dispersal potential. These results provide the first population genetic baseline for the largest fish stock in the eastern Red Sea and support future efforts to assess adaptive potential in a warming marginal sea.

Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique environmental conditions that support extensive but poorly resolved biodiversity. Here, we applied metagenomic analyses to sediment samples collected from coastal to deep‐sea environments during the Red Sea Decade Expedition 2022 to characterise biodiversity across the web of life. From a single shotgun assay per sample, this approach simultaneously characterised the sediment microbiome, which amplicon‐based surveys recover only through parallel, targeted assays, and extended detection to higher eukaryotes. Using high‐throughput sequencing, we generated 12.8 billion sequences, revealing taxa covering all domains of life. Although eukaryotic sequences represented only 0.7% of the taxonomically annotated dataset, we managed to identify 679 eukaryotic families. Prokaryotic diversity was high, as expected in a basin‐scale sampling coupled with high sequencing depth, with groups covering a wide functional array. Community structure analyses revealed depth‐driven stratification of open‐ocean benthic microbial communities and latitudinal structuring of coastal benthic eukaryotes. Overall, this dataset provides an empirical reliability–coverage trade‐off with direct consequences for the design of eDNA monitoring programmes targeting conservation‐priority taxa, and clear priorities for taxa specific reference‐database expansion.

A Multi‐Index Multi‐Scale Approach to Analyse Regional Drought Variability - Mohammad Arab Amiri; Ali Danandeh Mehr; Milan Gocić (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
Drought regionalisation remains sensitive to index selection, temporal scale and clustering methodology, especially in hydroclimatically transitional regions. This study introduces a multi‐index multi‐scale meteorological drought regionalisation framework based on long‐term historical precipitation. The new approach starts with calculations of two standardised meteorological drought indices, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and China‐Z Index (CZI), at 1‐, 3‐ and 12‐month time scales. Then, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied for dimensionality reduction, followed by K‐means clustering to delineate homogeneous drought regions. To ensure methodological robustness, cluster validation is performed using Variance Ratio Criterion (VRC). The proposed approach was demonstrated using monthly precipitation data from 28 climatological stations (1946–2023) distributed across Serbia. The results indicated the presence of three statistically stable drought regions largely governed by topography and continentality gradients. Mountainous western and southern Serbia exhibit high cross‐scale stability (> 80% station persistence), whereas lowland northern regions show moderate sensitivity to index selection. SPI‐based regionalisation demonstrates stronger interannual variability representation, while CZI produces smoother regional drought signatures due to distributional assumptions. Crni Vrh and Zlatibor climatological stations in the mountainous regions of southwestern and central Serbia are representative stations with scale‐resistant drought characteristics. The most detailed spatial resolution that identified six distinct homogeneous sub‐zones is produced by the proposed approach across all time scales. The VRC across all index‐scale combinations is used to validate the stability of the identified regions. The proposed stability‐enhanced framework improves the reliability of drought regionalisation and provides a transferable methodology for climate transition zones under non‐stationary hydroclimatic conditions.

Climate vulnerability under forced migration: remote sensing analysis of land cover change and heat island effects of Nayapara Rohingya Refugee Camp, Bangladesh - Safakat Siddika; Stephen Yankyera; Bhuiyan Monwar Alam; Shamiha Shafinaz Shreya; Mohammad Hossain Bin Idrish (Environment, Development and Sustainability, 2026)
This study investigates the environmental impacts of the Nayapara Rohingya Refugee Camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, an under-researched site adjacent to the fragile Teknaf Wildlife Sanctuary, housing over 151,659 Rohingya refugees who fled ethnic persecution in neighboring Myanmar. The novelty of this paper lies in the fact that it is the first study that examines the environmental impacts of the Nayapara Rohingya Refugee settlements on both inside and outside of the camp area over a span of 12 years. Using multi-temporal Landsat imagery, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques, the paper assessed changes in land cover, vegetation health, measured by normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and land surface temperature (LST) between 2013 and 2025. Results show a substantial increase in built-up areas, from 6% in 2013 to 21% in 2025, largely replacing vegetated areas. High vegetation cover declined from 35% in 2013 to 19% in 2025. The reliability of the classification was confirmed through accuracy assessments, with Kappa coefficients consistently indicating strong agreement: 83.5% (2013), 78.8% (2015), 92.9% (2017), 96.5% (2019), 91.8% (2021), 94.1% (2023), and 92.9% (2025). NDVI inside the camp decreased by a substantial 27.8% during the study period, while it declined by only 9.8% outside the camp during the same period, highlighting intensified ecological stress within the refugee settlement boundary. LST analysis shows consistently higher temperatures within the camp, with the strongest thermal contrast in 2023 and 2025, when inside-outside differences exceeded 4.7 °C. This pattern indicates an emerging urban heat island-like effect associated with settlement expansion. These findings underscore the environmental consequences of large-scale refugee settlements and emphasize the need for sustainable, climate-aware regional planning.

Natural Concurrent Infection by Water Moulds of the Genera Achlya and Protoachlya in a Red Tilapia ( Oreochromis sp.) Hatchery in Malaysia - Mohammad Amirul Faiz Zulkiply; Muhammad Salahudin Kheirel Anuar; Mohd Termizi Yusof; Annas Salleh; Ina Salwany Md Yasin; Channarong Rodkhum; Mohammad Noor Amal Azmai (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
This paper reports a natural concurrent infection by water moulds of the genera Achlya and Protoachlya in a red tilapia hatchery in Malaysia. In December 2024, a mass mortality of cultured juvenile red tilapia was noticed at 7 days after transportation and introduction into a hatchery. The affected fish showed lethargy at the bottom of the tanks, loss of appetite, pale colouration, and were isolated from the schooling group. Further examination found brownish cotton wool‐like growth, particularly at the operculum, gills, and at the base of the fins. Several fish exhibited clinical signs including fin rot, gill inflammation, and cloudy eyes. Histopathological examination of the gills revealed secondary lamella necrosis, fusion, hyperplasia, and infiltration of leucocytes. Morphological and molecular identifications revealed the presence of Achlya bisexualis , A. prolifera , and Protoachlya paradoxa in the diseased fish. These organisms belong to the Oomycetes, a group of fungus‐like protists rather than true fungi. Achlya bisexualis and A. prolifera were more sensitive to salinity, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 15 ppt, compared to P. paradoxa , which was more halotolerant until 25 ppt. The isolated oomycetes demonstrated the ability to grow at temperatures ranging from 5°C to 30°C, with growth rates increasing with temperature. A cumulative mortality rate of 68% with estimated losses of RM 1000 was recorded from the outbreak, while gradual increases in water salinity up to 20 ppt helped to reduce the mortality. Saprolegniasis poses a significant threat to tilapia's egg and fingerling productions in hatchery operations. However, a synergistic multispecies infection of the pathogens may exacerbate the problem.

Through the Sands of Time: Evolutionary History and Systematics of the Awl‐Headed Snakes (Colubridae: Lytorhynchus ) in the Saharo‐Sindian Region - Lukáš Pola; Daniel Jablonski; Rafaqat Masroor; Bassam Abu Afifeh; Roberta Graboski; Mohammad Abu Baker; Zuhair S. Amr; Ahmed Mohajja AlShammari; Avrajjal Ghosh; Salvador Carranza; Jiří Šmíd (Zoologica Scripta, 2026)
The psammophilous colubrid genus Lytorhynchus is widely distributed in the deserts of the Saharo‐Sindian region and adjacent areas. The taxonomy of the genus and the number of recognised species have remained unstable since the last taxonomic revision in 1970, with differing views on the taxonomic status of L. gaddi and L. kennedyi . As no comprehensive study has included all species in a phylogenetic context, we present here the first phylogenetic and biogeographical hypothesis for all but one recognised species ( L. gasperetti ) based on three mitochondrial and four nuclear genetic markers. Our time‐calibrated phylogeny revealed that the genus originated in the late Oligocene–early Miocene, with an ancestral geographic range within the present‐day Irano‐Turanian region. Most diversification events occurred during the Miocene and were likely driven by tectonic movements, mountain uplifts, and increasing aridification across the region. Our results are largely congruent with the traditional taxonomic concept of the genus and its recognised species. Phylogenetic analyses recovered L. gaddi and L. kennedyi as distinct lineages separate from L. diadema , with which they were previously treated as synonyms, subspecies or colour variants. However, this distinction is not fully reflected in all the nuclear loci or in species delimitation analyses, possibly due to limited sampling and incomplete lineage sorting. Accordingly, species‐level status for both taxa is provisionally proposed pending further investigation.

Prediction of Soil Moisture Constants in Coastal Soils of Bangladesh Using Machine Learning Algorithms - Mohammad Saiful Islam; Mohammad Ismail; Jayanta Kumar Basak; Bhola Paudel; Murchana Chakraborty; Mustafa Jaihuni; Pinaki Chowdhury (Irrigation and Drainage, 2026)
The prediction of soil moisture constants (SMCs), including field capacity (FC), permanent wilting point (PWP) and available water content (AWC), is essential for efficient irrigation scheduling and water management in the coastal regions of Bangladesh affected by salinity, flooding and waterlogging. However, the comparative evaluation of machine learning (ML) models for predicting SMCs in these complex coastal soils remains limited. Therefore, this study evaluated five ML models to predict SMCs using soil physicochemical parameters (pH; electrical conductivity; organic matter; bulk density; and sand, silt and clay fractions). The observed ranges were 6.5%–38.4%, 1.3%–15.5% and 5.1%–26.0% for FC, PWP and AWC, respectively. Among the applied models, the multilayer perceptron (MLP) achieved the best predictive performance, with R 2 values of 0.926, 0.911 and 0.906 for FC, PWP and AWC, respectively, whereas MLR showed the weakest performance, with corresponding R 2 values of 0.804, 0.761 and 0.738. Compared with the other models, MLP improved R 2 by 3%–23% and reduced RMSE by 13%–40% across FC, PWP and AWC. Using input combination‐5 (IC‐5), the MLP explained more than 89% of the variability and achieved up to 98% prediction accuracy, highlighting its strong potential for predicting SMCs in coastal soils to support agricultural productivity.

Satellite‐Based Modeling of Marine Productivity and Fisheries Habitat Conditions in the Northern Bay of Bengal - Tasnim Binth Abin; Mohammad Muslem Uddin; Priyanka Mazumder (Fisheries Oceanography, 2026)
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is a vital marine ecosystem that sustains diverse fisheries and significantly contributes to regional food security. This study investigates the spatiotemporal variability of marine primary productivity in the northern BoB and its environmental drivers—sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity (SSS), dissolved oxygen (DO), and chlorophyll‐a (Chl‐a). Multiseasonal Sentinel‐3 OLCI and SLSTR satellite datasets from 2024 were analyzed using correlation analysis, multiple linear regression, and ARIMA time‐series forecasting to assess how hydrographic variability influences phytoplankton dynamics. The results show that winter exhibits the highest phytoplankton biomass (Chl‐a up to 1.50–3.02 mg m −3 ), driven by low SST, elevated DO, and freshwater discharge that enhance vertical mixing and nutrient availability. Statistical analysis revealed that SST appears to be a significant driver during the monsoon ( p = 0.012), whereas DO showed a significant association with productivity ( p = 0.002), which may reflect favorable environmental conditions rather than a direct biological causation as phytoplankton produce oxygen. During summer, stratification may have contributed to the suppression of productivity, and a multivariate statistical link ( R 2 = 0.78) reflected combined effects of SST, SSS, and DO. ARIMA forecasting indicated a short‐term increase in Chl‐a (1.62–2.28 mg m −3 ), suggesting continued favorable production trends. Seasonal hydrographic variability therefore regulates habitat suitability, influencing spawning, feeding, and migration of hilsa, sardine, anchovy, mackerel, and juvenile tuna. Integrating satellite‐based monitoring with predictive modeling supports climate‐resilient fisheries management and reinforces ecosystem‐based governance. The outcomes contribute to multiple sustainability targets, including SDG 14 (Life Below Water), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), and SDG 1 (No Poverty).

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants in the marine environment. The potential pathway through the food web to humans is a general public concern. Commonly consumed marine organisms have never been studied for the presence of MPs as an entry route into the food chain. This study selected Penaeus monodon (tiger prawn) and Metapenaeus ensis (greasyback shrimp) because of their commercial importance, high consumption rates, and consistent availability in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. Samples were collected from major fish markets supplied by both coastal fisheries and aquaculture farms. The gastrointestinal tracts of both species were analyzed under a microscope, and Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-Transform Infrared (ATR–FTIR) spectroscopy was performed on suspected MPs based on their physical characteristics. All samples contained plastic: 280 ± 91 pieces/kg wet weight for P. monodon and 457 ± 171 pieces/kg for M. ensis . Fibers were the dominant shape of the MPs observed, followed by fragments and pellets; black was also the dominant color. Most of the particles determined by size were within 500 to 1000 μm in dimension. Polyester and polystyrene were the two major types of polymers by the FTIR analysis. This calls for urgent reinforcement in food safety measures accompanied by environmental policy interventions directed towards microplastic contamination in seafood that encapsulates potential health risk avenues to consumers as well as broader ecological impacts.

Bridging the Scale Gap: Regional Refinement of National Mineral Prospectivity Models for Nunavut, Canada - Julie E. Bourdeau; Mohammad Parsa; Christopher J. M. Lawley; Steve R. Beyer; Bruce Kjarsgaard; Tommy Tremblay (Natural Resources Research, 2026)
Mineral exploration in the Arctic is challenging, resulting in decreased survey and mineral discovery rates. Data-driven mineral prospectivity mapping is intended to reduce exploration risk by delineating promising areas. However, data sparsity, especially of deposit locations, is a critical bottleneck. In this study, we developed and tested a method to conduct data-driven mineral prospectivity mapping in regions where annotated data are too sparse. Our method is predicated on the existence of large-scale mineral prospectivity frameworks (data, models and methods), which are fine-tuned using regional ground truth to produce locally refined predictions. This is possible because the spatial transferability of trained machine learning models is incomplete. We explicitly tested the hypothesis of limited spatial transferability. To within limitations of our experimental design, our results are supportive of our hypothesis that the incorporation of new positive samples into an existing training dataset preferentially influences the local outcome. Using a suite of critical minerals combined with published data and models in Canada, we demonstrated that by treating large-scale mineral prospectivity frameworks as foundational, it is productive to fine-tune trained models using regional data. Although national-scale maps exist prior to this study, they did not incorporate a substantial amount of ground truth from Nunavut. Therefore, through regional refinement, we produced the inaugural version of a set of pan-Canadian mineral prospectivity maps that are specifically refined for Nunavut for: (1) flake graphite; (2) magmatic Ni (±Cu ±Co ±PGE); and (3) Mississippi Valley-type Pb–Zn. The regional refinement method is a perspectivist and federated approach to MPM that extracts additional value from large-scale mineral prospectivity frameworks and provides an interoperable method for national, regional and inter-regional mineral exploration.

The Fatigue Load Analysis of Wind Turbines in a Reconfigurable Floating Offshore Wind Farm - Mohammad Mahdi Malayeri; Yue Niu; Ryozo Nagamune (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
This paper analyzes the fatigue loads of wind turbines in a floating offshore wind farm (FOWF) whose layout can be reconfigured. Such wind farm reconfiguration will be useful for wake effect mitigation in varying wind conditions. As an example FOWF, a farm with three 5 MW floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) models on semi-submersible platforms, developed by the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) (formerly the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)), is considered. Simulations for the example FOWF are conducted with various realistic turbulent wind and irregular wave conditions in the medium-fidelity wind farm simulator FAST.Farm. Using the simulation data, fatigue analysis is conducted by calculating the damage equivalent loads (DELs) using the computational tool MLife at critical components of the three FOWTs. The analysis results demonstrate the potential of reconfigurable FOWFs in not only increasing power outputs but also reducing fatigue loads for many critical components of turbines.
