Urban freshwater ecosystems are increasingly exposed to mixtures of pollutants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). However, their ecological effects remain poorly understood, especially in tropical regions with limited sanitation infrastructure. This study investigated PFAS contamination, water quality, and microbial community structure in Pampulha Lake, a tropical urban reservoir in southeastern Brazil. Spa...
Unveiling Gender Disparities: The Role of Women in Transforming Small‐Scale FisheriesNARA Subscribed
Issues of equity and social justice have never been more urgent than they are today, as global social disparity continues to rise. The small‐scale fisheries (SSF) sector, long neglected by top‐down policies and mainstream markets, remains essential to the livelihoods of millions worldwide. In this context, equity challenges are particularly pressing. This study examines Brazil's SSF sector, focusing on gender dynamics and disp...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Understanding the ecology of large pelagic fishes is important for species conservation and maintaining ecosystem dynamics. The Atlantic blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) is usually targeted in recreational fisheries and occasionally captured as bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries, yet it is considered an overexploited stock in the Atlantic. In this study, pop-up archival satellite tags were deployed on twenty-one blue marlins...
Climate change impacts on a sedimentary coast—a regional synthesis from genes to ecosystemsNARA Subscribed
Climate change effects on coastal ecosystems vary on large spatial scales, but can also be highly site dependent at the regional level. The Wadden Sea in the south-eastern North Sea is warming faster than many other temperate coastal areas, with surface seawater temperature increasing by almost 2 °C over the last 60 years, nearly double the global ocean mean increase. Climate warming is accompanied by rising sea levels, which...
