Coastal environments are increasingly recognised as reservoirs of known antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but are less frequently identified as sources of novel ARGs. Here, we investigated class A β‐lactamases circulating in European coastal environments used for oyster farming. We examined their diversity, function, and the ecological factors associated with their geographic distribution and environmental dynamics. A high d...
Air pollution and climate change remain critical environmental challenges, particularly in urban areas, where conventional monitoring networks are often too sparse to capture fine‐scale exposure gradients due to their high operational costs. Epiphytic lichen biomonitoring provides a valuable complementary approach, as these organisms are sensitive to both air pollutants and climate conditions. Despite the existence of a standa...
Daily Sun‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence vs. irradiance curves reflect the photoadaptation of phytoplankton in surface watersNARA Subscribed
Phytoplankton chlorophyll Sun‐induced fluorescence is observable in the upwelling light field of the ocean. This allows its observation by radiometers in situ or on satellite sensors. Since it is influenced by both biomass and physiology it can potentially provide information about both. Since fluorescence yield is complementary to photosynthesis and heat in photosystem II, its observation throughout the day provides informati...
Coefficients in Taylor's law increase with the time scale of water clarity measurements in a global suite of lakesNARA Subscribed
Identifying the scaling rules describing ecological patterns across time and space is a central challenge in ecology. Taylor's law of fluctuation scaling, which states that the variance of a population's size or density is proportional to a positive power of the mean size or density, has been widely observed in population dynamics and characterizes variability in multiple scientific domains. However, it is unclear if this phen...
The composition and size distribution of particles in the ocean control their optical (scattering and absorption) properties, as well as a range of biogeochemical and ecological processes. Therefore, they provide important information about the pelagic ocean ecosystem’s structure and functioning, which can be used to assess primary production, particle sinking, and carbon sequestration. Due to its harsh environment and remoten...
The challenge of assessing the effects of drifting fish aggregating devices on the behaviour and biology of tropical tunaNARA Subscribed
Fishers have intensively used drifting fish aggregating devices (DFADs) over the last three decades to facilitate their catch of tropical tunas. DFADs increase purse‐seine efficiency, potentially increasing tuna fishing mortality. They could also have impacts on tuna natural mortality and reproductive potential, and assessing the consequences of their presence at sea on tuna populations is a challenge. The use of DFADs results...
Genomic evidence for three distinct species in the Erebia manto complex in Central Europe (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)NARA Subscribed
A problem to implement conservation strategies is that in many cases recognized taxa are in fact complexes of several cryptic species. Failure to properly delineate species may lead to misplaced priorities or to inadequate conservation measures. One such species complex is the yellow-spotted ringlet Erebia manto , which comprises several phenotypically distinct lineages, whose degree of genomic isolation has so far not been as...
