Globally, increasing air moisture can limit not only the human body’s ability to cool down, but also that of the Earth’s surface. This interaction, however, remains understudied—especially across subtropical-to-tropical regions that experience high levels of humidity. Here, we examine how air moisture influences nighttime land surface temperatures (LSTs), as well as what this interaction means for thermal comfort overnight. Du...

Siberian boreal forests have experienced increases in fire extent and intensity in recent years, which may threaten their role as carbon (C) sinks. Larch forests ( Larix spp.) cover approximately 2.6 million km 2 across Siberia, yet little is known about the magnitude and drivers of carbon combustion in these ecosystems. To address the paucity of field‐based estimates of fuel load and consumption in Siberian larch forests, we...

Evolving immunogenicity assay performance expectations and a lack of harmonized anti-drug antibody validation testing and reporting tools have resulted in significant time spent by health authorities and sponsors on resolving filing queries. Following debate at the American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences National Biotechnology Conference, a group was formed to address these gaps. Over the last 3 years, 44 members from...

Aim Given its catastrophic consequences, the extinction of apex predators has long been of interest to modern ecology. Despite major declines, no present‐day species of marine apex predator has yet become extinct. Because of their vulnerability, understanding the mechanisms leading to their extinction in the past could provide insight into the natural factors that interact with human threats to drive their loss. We studied the...

Quantifying landscape‐scale methane ( CH 4 ) fluxes from boreal and arctic regions, and determining how they are controlled, is critical for predicting the magnitude of any CH 4 emission feedback to climate change. Furthermore, there remains uncertainty regarding the relative importance of small areas of strong methanogenic activity, vs. larger areas with net CH 4 uptake, in controlling landscape‐level fluxes. We measured CH 4...

Saline and warm Mediterranean water flowing through the Bosporus Strait maintains a permanent pycnocline with vertical separation of oxic (O 2 ), suboxic (absence of O 2 and H 2 S), and anoxic (H 2 S) zones in the Black Sea. The stable suboxic zone implies restricted vertical mixing of the upper oxic and lower anoxic layers and limited vertical flux of oxygen that cannot balance the upward flux of sulfide. We report data that...
