Monitoring vegetation edges in dynamic coastal zones is essential for understanding long-term shoreline change and supporting effective coastal management, particularly as climate change accelerates erosion, sea-level rise, and ecosystem shifts. This study provides the first validation of VedgeSat, an automated Vegetation Edge (VE) detection toolkit, in contrasting tropical coastal environments, with relevance for coastal moni...

High‐latitude ecosystems are simultaneously warming and acidifying under ongoing climate change. Arctic cod ( Boreogadus saida ) are a key species in the Arctic Ocean and have demonstrated sensitivity to ocean warming and acidification as adults and embryos, but their larval sensitivity to the combined stressors is unknown. In a laboratory multi‐stressor experiment, larval Arctic cod were exposed to a combination of three temp...

Neurons form the basic anatomical and functional structure of the nervous system, and defects in neuronal differentiation or formation of neurites are associated with various psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dynamic changes in the cytoskeleton are essential for this process, which is, inter alia, controlled by the dedicator of cytokinesis 4 ( DOCK4 ) through the activation of RAC1 . Here, we clinically describe 7...

Coastal wetlands provide a variety of ecological functions that sustain biodiverse habitats, serve as barriers to storm surge, regulate biogeochemical cycles, and yield ecosystem goods and services that benefit society. The magnitude of wetland functional delivery varies with geomorphology and landscape position, hydropattern and hydrodynamics, vegetation structure and composition, soil properties, and microbial community asse...

The rapid decline in Pacific cod ( Gadus macrocephalus , Gadidae) biomass following multiple Gulf of Alaska marine heatwaves (2014–2016 and 2019) may be one of the most dramatic documented changes in a sustainably managed marine fishery. As such, fisheries managers are exploring new recruitment paradigms for Pacific cod under novel environmental conditions. In this review, we address the challenges of managing and forecasting...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are epigenetic markers with a key role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Several studies have described the dysregulation of miRNAs in temperature and hypoxic stress responses of marine organisms, but their role in the response to acidification conditions has remained relatively underexplored. We investigated the differential expression of miRNAs in whole brain tissue of Arctic cod ( Boregogadus saida...

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) is a widely researched ergogenic aid, but the optimal blinding strategy during randomised placebo-controlled trials is unknown. In this multi-study project, we aimed to determine the most efficacious ingestion strategy for blinding NaHCO 3 research. During study one, 16 physically active adults tasted 0.3 g kg −1 body mass NaHCO 3 or 0.03 g kg −1 body mass sodium chloride placebo treatments given...

Summary Some Serratia entomophila isolates have been successfully exploited in biopesticides due to their ability to cause amber disease in larvae of the Aotearoa (New Zealand) endemic pasture pest, Costelytra giveni . Anti‐feeding prophage and ABC toxin complex virulence determinants are encoded by a 153‐kb single‐copy conjugative plasmid (pADAP; a mber d isease‐ a ssociated p lasmid). Despite growing understanding of the S ....
