Aim Climate‐driven fire increases could be modified by fire‐fuel feedback, as recent fires reduce burnable fuels for future fires. Knowing the effects of fire‐fuel feedback is essential for more accurate projection of fire activity, which, however, has often been overlooked due to the challenge in its quantification. This study aims to project future fire activity under the changing climates with consideration for fire‐fuel fe...

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...

We reconstruct one of the longest relative sea‐level (RSL) records in north‐west Europe from the north coast of mainland Scotland, using data collected from three sites in Loch Eriboll (Sutherland) that we combine with other studies from the region. Following deglaciation, RSL fell from a Lateglacial highstand of +6−8 m OD (Ordnance Datum = ca. mean sea level) at ca. 15 k cal a BP to below present, then rose to an early Holoce...

Collections of three species of oreos (smooth oreo, Pseudocyttus maculatus; black oreo, Allocyttus niger; and warty oreo, A. verrucosus ) from Australasian waters were examined for genetic variation. Allozyme heterozygosity was high in each species (25–29 loci: mean heterozygosity per locus per sample ranging from 0.100 to 0.148), but mitochondrial DNA variation was less extensive (10 six‐base restriction enzymes: nucleotide d...

Samples of Neocyttus rhomboidalis from eight areas off southern Australia and eastern New Zealand were examined to assess the stock structure of the species. No spatial heterogeneity was detected for mitochondrial DNA variation after restriction analysis by two enzymes detecting polymorphic cut sites. Twenty mtDNA haplotypes were recorded, with an overall haplotype diversity of 0·683. Twenty‐eight allozyme loci were examined;...
