The continuing expansion of seaweed cultivation could assist in ensuring future global food security. The Laminariales species Alaria esculenta and Saccharina latissima are each cultivated for food across their European ranges. The predominant method for cultivating European kelps involves growing juveniles on twine within a hatchery which is then deployed at a farm site. The associated hatchery and deployment cost of this app...

To limit warming to well below 2°C, most scenario projections rely on greenhouse gas removal technologies (GGRTs); one such GGRT uses soil carbon sequestration (SCS) in agricultural land. In addition to their role in mitigating climate change, SCS practices play a role in delivering agroecosystem resilience, climate change adaptability and food security. Environmental heterogeneity and differences in agricultural practices cha...

This paper presents the results of micromorphological analysis of laminated sediments that accumulated in ice‐dammed lakes in Lochaber (Glen Roy and vicinity) during the Younger Dryas (Loch Lomond) Stadial. These lakes were responsible for the formation of the famous ‘Parallel Roads of Glen Roy’ (Agassiz, 1840 ), prominent shorelines cut into the valley sides of Glen Roy and adjacent valleys. Annually deposited (varved) layers...

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 516–527 Abstract Host species that colonize new regions often lose parasite species. Using population arrival and establishment data for New Zealand’s introduced bird species and their ectoparasitic chewing lice species, we test the relative importance of different processes and mechanisms in causing parasite species loss. Few lice failed to arrive in New Zealand with their hosts due to being missed...
