Doliolids and salps are pelagic tunicates that reproduce both asexually and sexually during their life history, occasionally forming massive blooms (> 1000 ind. m −3 ) that can clear large volumes of water daily. Although blooms of doliolids and salps are often associated with pulses of primary productivity, little is understood about their life history dynamics in response to the full range of oceanographic conditions they en...

Coastal areas play a critical role in the well-being of communities worldwide. The Mediterranean basin is a climate change hotspot and contains several vulnerable, low-lying areas such as the Ebro Delta (Northeast Spain). In this study, CMIP6 wind projections from 19 GCMs are used to obtain medium-to-high resolution wave conditions for 2070–2100 in the North-Western Mediterranean, and very-high resolution wave data near the Eb...

This review comprehensively examines the variability and uncertainty associated with test guideline (TG)-conform genotoxicity data and explores the respective implications for the integration of non-animal-methods (NAMs) into regulatory frameworks. Historical amendments to OECD TGs are mapped to reveal the method’s evolution that improves the scientific quality of the data but also explains data heterogeneity within available...
