In July 2022, a harmful algal bloom of Heterosigma akashiwo originated in a man-made lagoon and expanded to more than 4,500 km² of open-water habitat in the San Francisco Estuary, triggering a widespread mass mortality event involving bony fishes, sharks, rays, crustaceans, mollusks, polychaetes, and jellyfish. Notably, the event affected the southernmost spawning populations of White Sturgeon ( Acipenser transmontanus ) and f...
The high-value tropical sea cucumber Holothuria ( Metriatyla ) scabra or sandfish is central to the ‘400+ year old global’, bêche-de-mer trade. Consequently, it has faced heavy exploitation and has become extirpated in some regions within its broader Indo-Pacific natural distribution. Recent molecular evidence has provided clarity on its taxonomic identity, indicating it comprises a species complex, with four broad lineages de...
The impact of perceived human and computer interaction on collaborative learning: insights from the Map TaskNARA Subscribed
Learning new skills and information becomes more challenging as people get older, but learning collaboratively can provide benefits to learning in older age. Prior work has predominantly focused on improved learning in terms of accuracy and efficiency when interacting with another human compared to learning alone, while the potential benefits of a human learning with a computer are understudied. It has been reported that older...
Stable isotopes reveal that gelatinous zooplankton diets group by taxonomy and feeding traits in a coastal upwelling systemNARA Subscribed
Gelatinous zooplankton are abundant in marine ecosystems, yet their trophic roles and functional diversity in food webs have only recently gained attention. Gelatinous zooplankton taxa including hydromedusae, ctenophores, siphonophores, chaetognaths, and pelagic tunicates span multiple phyla and are often grouped taxonomically, but trait‐based categorizations have emerged as an ecologically meaningful alternative. Considering...
Nature-Related Risk Perceptions Among Vietnamese Smallholder Tea Farmers and Implications for Environmental ManagementNARA Subscribed
Smallholder farmers manage a significant share of the world’s agricultural landscapes and are highly vulnerable to nature-related risks arising from climate variability, soil degradation, water scarcity, and pest and disease pressures. Sustainably managing the balance between the environment and production in such systems requires an understanding of how land managers perceive and prioritize these risks, as perceptions often i...
Plan Bee: genetic diversity in an Australia honey bee (Apis mellifera) breeding programNARA Subscribed
Our reliance on honey bees for pollination has lead to greater uptake of modern animal breeding methods around the world to improve bee health and productivity. As breeding can result in loss of genetic diversity, it is worth considering the standing genetic diversity in breeding populations from the outset. A bee breeding program (Plan Bee) commenced in Australia in 2020. This study sought to quantify the genetic diversity of...
