Polymetallic sulfide deposits produced at hydrothermal vent fields are targets for mining exploitation along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, threatening the functioning and resilience of vent ecosystems that provide multiple ecosystem services. Knowledge about connectivity between vents will inform conservation practices. The present‐day genetic structure and demographic history of the two vent‐dwelling gastropod species, Lepetodrilus...

The Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) transmitted by the vector nematode Xiphinema index causes severe losses in viticulture. Truly resistant rootstocks that inhibit nematode development and virus transmission to grapevines are not available. Seedlings with genetic background of the accession Vitis shuttleworthii D’Arpa were evaluated using an established screening system to test for nematode resistance. For all tested candidate...

This study of Delaware Bay, USA, uses a numerical particle tracking model to examine the exchange of material between the bay and adjacent continental shelf on seasonal timescales. Vertically averaged, near-bottom, and near-surface transport were targeted by simulating particles with three different types of behavior: neutrally buoyant, bottom-seeking (similar to silt settling), and surface-seeking (similar to the slow rise of...

Reproduction is vital for forest resilience under climate change, enabling tree populations to recover from disturbances and migrate. Yet projections of habitat suitability often overlook seed production. For European beech ( Fagus sylvatica ), viable seed production depends on year‐to‐year variability and synchrony in reproduction (masting). Using data from 341 sites (mean record: 31.7 years), we show that, especially in cold...

Vascular repair and regeneration are critical for tissue homeostasis. Endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) are vessel-resident progenitors with vasoreparative capacity and they offer an important avenue for allogeneic cytotherapy to achieve perfusion of ischemic tissues. Endothelial Protein C Receptor (EPCR) has been proposed as a marker for vascular endothelial stem cells, but its precise role in ECFC biology remains unkn...

Temperature perturbations from climate change affect ecosystems through short‐term pulse events, such as heatwaves, and chronic long‐term shifts. Temperate rocky reef ecosystems have been observed to show substantial ecological change as a result of short‐term temperature fluctuations, but the longer‐term impacts of temperature change remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate temperate reef fishes and mobile invertebrates...

Grapevine ( Vitis spp.) propagation material is profusely exchanged across geographic and regulatory boundaries. Trading germplasm increases the diversity of cultivars and rootstocks with enhanced viticultural attributes but also risks the dissemination of pests and detrimental pathogens such as viruses in new grape production areas. Therefore, regulations are established to facilitate the safe trade of Vitis propagation mater...

Climate change is expected to affect the morphological, physiological, and life‐history traits of plants and animal pollinators due to more frequent extreme heat and other altered weather patterns. This systematic literature review evaluates the effects of climate change on plant and pollinator traits on a global scale to determine how species responses vary among Earth's ecosystems, climate variables, taxonomic groups, and or...
