As reef-building coral cover has declined worldwide, coral restoration has become a widespread response towards repopulating degraded reefs. In-situ nurseries have provided refugia for the regrowth of several coral species, yet long-term success following outplanting remains highly variable, particularly when corals are introduced into novel or marginal environments. Additionally, while growth and survivorship are commonly use...

Host‐microbiome interactions shape key physiological processes, including bioenergetics, neurodevelopment and xenobiotic metabolism, and strongly influence the ecological fitness of the host. However, our understanding of host‐microbiome interactions is primarily derived from post‐embryonic free‐living life stages, when the organism is in direct contact with microbes. Whether environmental microbial communities influence embry...

Objective During the winter season of 2022–2023, numerous countries experienced a surge in invasive Streptococcus pyogenes (iGAS) infections. The role of viral coinfections in the post-COVID surge has not been elucidated. We report nation-wide data describing clinical presentation, microbiological characteristics, and associations with viral infection in adults during this period. Methods A multicenter retrospective cohort stu...

Urban forests provide numerous benefits including habitat for wildlife, improving human health, purifying air and water, and preventing and mitigating the effects of climate change. The need to protect and improve our urban forests will only increase as populations increase and cities densify and expand over time. However, urban forest establishment and maintenance is challenging due to a lack of effective policies, delays, la...

The benefits to humans of living by the ocean have led many coastal settlements to grow into large, densely populated cities. Large coastal cities have had considerable environmental effects on marine ecosystems through resource extraction, waste disposal, coastal development, and trade and travel routes. While our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of urbanisation for wildlife in terrestrial systems...

Aim To identify the broad‐scale oceanic migration routes (‘marine flyways’) used by multiple pelagic, long‐distance migratory seabirds based on a global compilation of tracking data. Location Global. Time Period 1989–2023. Major Taxa Studied Seabirds (Families: Phaethontidae, Hydrobatidae, Diomedeidae, Procellariidae, Laridae and Stercorariidae). Methods We collated a comprehensive global tracking dataset that included the mig...
