The pygmy right whale ( Caperea marginata ) is one of the least studied mysticete species. To shed light on its geographic and seasonal distribution, we compiled archival acoustic recordings from 26 sites across southern Australia and developed a deep‐learning detector for pygmy right whale “doublet” vocalizations. Seasonal patterns differed markedly between regions: On the southwestern shelf, detections consistently peaked be...

In photosynthetic organisms, the major light-harvesting antenna protein LHCII performs the dual function of capturing excitation energy and protecting the photosystem from over-excitation via non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). We investigated the role of far-red-fluorescing chlorophylls (emission > 700 nm) in quenching LHCII by comparing isolated trimeric LHCII (denoted F680) with aggregated LHCII prepared in a glycerol-rich m...

Purpose It is challenging for practitioners to navigate through the multitude of life cycle assessment (LCA) approaches due to the rich literature and a lack of systematisation. The LCA flexibility allowed by standards results in a multitude of applications and, as referred to in previous works, as an “alphabet soup”. This paper proposes a scheme for a clearer classification of currently used LCA approaches, with consideration...

Candidate gene studies have identified genetic variants associated with clinical outcomes following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH), but no genome-wide association studies have been performed to date. Here we report the results of the discovery phase of a two-stage genome-wide meta-analysis of outcome after aSAH. We identified 157 independent loci harbouring 756 genetic variants associated with outcome after aSAH (...

The global accumulation of plastic waste has reached crisis levels. The diverse and multilayered impacts of plastic on biological health prompts an evaluation of these effects from a One Health perspective, through which the complexity of these processes can be integrated and more clearly understood. Plastic particles ranging from nanometers to meters in size are found throughout every ecosystem on Earth, from the deepest mari...
