Gillnet bycatch is the primary global threat to marine mammals. In this study, the effectiveness of upcycled plastic bottles used as acoustic reflectors to reduce dolphin bycatch and their effect on target catch was evaluated. Observed trials with (treatment) and without (control) bottles in bottom‐set trammel nets and bottom‐set gillnets were conducted between November/2020 and April/2025. Across 318 sets (170 control; 148 tr...

Key message Black pine and Maritime pine exhibit considerable differences in growth phenology across elevation belts with a 1-month delay for xylogenesis and increasing growth rates from low, mid to high elevations. Abstract Investigating seasonal wood formation is crucial to understand tree growth responses to climate impact. The present study quantifies the variability of xylogenesis along an elevation gradient on the Medite...

Many terrestrial silicate reservoirs display a characteristic depletion in Nb, which has been explained in some studies by the presence of reservoirs on Earth with superchondritic Nb/Ta. As one classical example, K-rich lavas from the Sunda rear-arc, Indonesia, have been invoked to tap such a high-Nb/Ta reservoir. To elucidate the petrogenetic processes active beneath the Java rear-arc and the causes for the superchondritic Nb...

In this paper, we outline the need for a coordinated international effort toward the building of an open-access Global Ocean Oxygen Database and ATlas (GO 2 DAT) complying with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). GO 2 DAT will combine data from the coastal and open ocean, as measured by the chemical Winkler titration method or by sensors (e.g., optodes, electrodes) from Eulerian and Lagrang...

Climate warming and harvesting affect the dynamics of species across the globe through a multitude of mechanisms, including distribution changes. In fish, migrations to and distribution on spawning grounds are likely influenced by both climate warming and harvesting. The Northeast Arctic (NEA) cod ( Gadus morhua ) performs seasonal migrations from its feeding grounds in the Barents Sea to spawning grounds along the Norwegian c...

Summary The advent of environmental O 2 about 2.5 billion years ago forced microbes to metabolically adapt and to develop mechanisms for O 2 sensing. Sensing of O 2 by [4Fe–4S] 2+ to [2Fe–2S] 2+ cluster conversion represents an ancient mechanism that is used by FNR Ec ( Escherichia coli ), FNR Bs ( Bacillus subtilis ), NreB Sa ( Staphylococcus aureus ) and WhiB3 Mt ( Mycobacterium tuberculosis ). The phylogenetic relationship...
