Crop termination with microwaves: thermo-management of residual plant material and pathogen inoculum in strawberryNARA Subscribed
Crown rot diseases have become increasingly important in strawberry production following the withdrawal of key pesticides due to environmental and human health concerns. The principal causal agents, Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae , can persist for extended periods in infected crown tissues and residual plant material in soil, serving as inoculum sources for subsequent crops. In some regions, cr...
Plasma membrane gap junctions, formed by connexin proteins, are responsible for direct intercellular communication between adjacent cells by allowing the exchange of ions, metabolites, secondary messengers and microRNAs. Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a widely expressed gap junction protein. Cx43 mis-expression is associated with various disease states, including chronic non-healing wounds. Loss of Cx43 from the plasma membrane is impo...
The Black Array of Broadband Absolute Radiometers Earth Radiation Imager (BABAR-ERI) is a small, adaptable nadir-pointed pushbroom imager to measure Earth-leaving broadband radiance from 0.3 µm to 100 µm with higher information content than is currently measured by reducing radiometric uncertainty and enabling cloud-resolving spatial resolution. The three-instrument BABAR-ERI suite fits a 12U CubeSat form factor and contains c...
Increasingly frequent marine heatwaves have escalated the prevalence and extent of mass coral bleaching events. Global-scale coral bleaching events (GCBEs) can unfold when marine heatwaves impact reefs across all tropical ocean basins within a common period. Here, we define an objective, quantifiable index to compare periods of satellite-derived coral heat stress accumulation globally from 1985 to 2025 and examine their relati...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2024 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Reliable predictions of species responses to intensifying temperature extremes are crucial for managing climate change impacts. However, limited data of species' responses to heat stress across their distribution restricts prediction accuracy. Here we analyse three‐decades of kelp abundance observations in Australia, including cool to warm‐edge populations, relative to marine heatwaves (MHWs). As MHWs intensified, changes in k...
Although cratons owe their longevity to thick, depleted and consequently buoyant sub-continental lithospheric mantle, their extents are commonly indicated by the known distribution of crustal rocks. However, the limits of a mapped cratonic area often do not match the seismically imaged thick sub-continental lithospheric mantle roots. New mantle xenolith petrology and geochemistry, combined with continental scale geophysical da...
Aotearoa New Zealand’s marine carbon cycle in a changing climate – Current understanding and future directionsNARA Subscribed
The marine system plays a critical role in the global climate cycle, as a major control of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Marine primary production (photosynthesis) and remineralisation of organic carbon (respiration, degradation) determine the amount of CO 2 sequestered in marine sediments and deep‐water environments on century to millennial timescales. The stocks and fluxes of the marine carbon cycle are susceptible to...
Climate change is expected to have significant impacts on the biology, abundance and distribution of transboundary fish stocks, not only among neighbouring countries within the jurisdictions of regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) but also between adjacent RFMOs. Using South Pacific albacore tuna ( Thunnus alalunga ) as a case study, we highlight how RFMOs need to understand the impacts of climate change on tran...

Halos of herbivory, feeding-preference, and predation risk on contemporary Belizean reefsNARA Subscribed
Biotic interactions in marine ecosystems can create visible patterns on the benthos. An archetypal example of such a pattern is the conspicuous ‘halos’ (i.e., areas largely cleared of macrophytes) that surround many tropical reefs. While early ecological studies identified the role of herbivores and the predators that feed on them in the formation of halos on Caribbean reefs, recent evidence has highlighted the context-depende...
