Phytoplankton blooms structure primary production and food‐web dynamics in the Gulf of Alaska, yet their response to recent warming and marine heatwaves (MHWs) remains poorly described. Using a parametric Gaussian framework applied to 21 years of satellite chlorophyll a (Chl a ), this study classified daily Chl a timeseries into double‐bloom, single spring‐bloom, single fall‐bloom, and no‐bloom regimes and related these to lar...

Global trait axes reveal overarching dimensions of plant functional variation. However, how these dimensions are spatially organized within and across forest types remains unclear. We combined drone‐based full‐range imaging spectroscopy with crown‐level measurements of 16 physiological, morphological and biochemical traits across temperate, subtropical and tropical forests in China to enable spatially‐explicit trait mapping. T...

Hyacinth bean ( Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet), commonly known as lablab, is an underutilized legume with potential for improving food and nutritional security in smallholder farming systems. Although it is adapted to low-input and drought conditions, genetic improvement of lablab is constrained by limited knowledge of its genetic diversity, despite extensive germplasm collections. Moreover, additional diversity maintained in fa...

Aim We aim to reconstruct the phylogeographical history of Musa acuminata subsp. banksii across New Guinea and Australia and to test whether its occurrence in Australia results from ancient natural dispersal or recent human‐mediated translocation. Location New Guinea and northern Australia (Sahul Shelf). Taxon M. acuminata subsp. banksii (F.Muell.) N.W.Simmonds (Musaceae). Methods We generated genome‐wide single nucleotide pol...

The recreational fishery for pollack ( Pollachius pollachius ) in the northeast Atlantic is impacted by the species' high sensitivity to barotrauma. When captured at depth and brought to the surface, gas expansion within the peritoneal cavity can cause a variety of injuries and hinder release. Via an experimental weighted cage, this study evaluated the efficacy of releasing Pollack at depth as a barotrauma mitigation strategy....

The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure. The population of bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, experienced long...

The high commercial value and the increasing demand for caviar make it susceptible to illegal trade and fraudulent activities, while mislabelling can occur both deliberately and unintentionally. Therefore, reliable methods are urgently needed to distinguish even closely related sturgeon species for the authentication of declared species in caviar products. In this study, we explore the effectiveness of ONT sequencing combined...
