Gillnet bycatch is the primary global threat to marine mammals. In this study, the effectiveness of upcycled plastic bottles used as acoustic reflectors to reduce dolphin bycatch and their effect on target catch was evaluated. Observed trials with (treatment) and without (control) bottles in bottom‐set trammel nets and bottom‐set gillnets were conducted between November/2020 and April/2025. Across 318 sets (170 control; 148 tr...

Extensive research has been performed into the effectiveness of nitrification inhibitors (NIs) in preventing N losses; however, tropical agriculture has been underrepresented in recent meta-analyses. Here, we apply a meta-analytic approach using data from 50 articles to identify the impact of NIs (DMPP, DCD, and DCD + NBPT) on crop yield, N 2 O emissions, soil NH 4 + and NO 3 − concentrations, and NH 3 volatilization in subtro...

We show that ocean fronts set recruitment patterns among both community‐building invertebrates and commercially important fishes in nearshore intertidal and rocky reef habitats. Chlorophyll concentration and recruitment of several species of intertidal invertebrates ( Balanus spp., Chthamalus spp., Mytilus spp.) and rockfishes ( Sebastes spp.) are positively correlated with front probability along the coast of the California C...

A method is presented to create an ensemble of perturbations that satisfies linear dynamical constraints. A cost function is formulated defining the probability of each perturbation. It is shown that the perturbations created with this approach take the land-sea mask into account in a similar way as variational analysis techniques. The impact of the land-sea mask is illustrated with an idealized configuration of a barrier isla...
