Ecosystem models are increasingly central to the decision‐making for environmental policy, conservation planning, and climate‐related investments. Yet, the growing reliance on Multi‐Model Ensembles (MMEs) of ecosystem models by practitioners and policymakers, sometimes under tight timelines and imperfect information, has frequently outpaced the scientific rigor required to ensure ensemble reliability. Here, MMEs refer to appro...

The Loop Current (LC) and its associated eddies, known as Loop Current Eddies (LCEs), are key oceanic features in the Gulf of Mexico. Using a statistical analysis of 29 years of satellite altimeter data (1993–2021), we show that more than half of the LCEs that detach from the LC reattach within 30 d and that only 42 % truly separate from the LC and move westward in the Gulf. Our observational analysis also shows that (i) befor...

Rice paddies are a major source of anthropogenic CH 4 emissions globally, with the temperature sensitivity ( Q10 ) of CH 4 production playing a key role in forecasting emissions under future climate scenarios. However, the mechanistic links among Q10 , the soil microbiome and mean annual temperature (MAT) in paddy soils remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we employed quantitative PCR, amplicon sequencing, genome‐res...

When embryos experience different environments than their parents, plasticity can enable the development of alternate phenotypes that confer higher fitness in the new conditions. Temperature-induced plasticity could be especially critical for species that inhabit areas with considerable thermal variation. We studied transcriptional variation in embryos of mangrove rivulus ( Kryptolebias marmoratus )—a self-fertilizing hermaphr...
