Coral reefs support a vast diversity of marine life but are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activities. To assess changes in community composition and the recovery potential of coral reefs in a changing climate, documenting sexual reproduction and understanding its environmental drivers are essential. Here, we report the exact timing and reproductive strategies for 375 individual coral colonies across 28 species from...

Fruit and vegetable consumption is below the WHO recommendations, globally, in Southeast Asia, and in West Africa. Affordability, accessibility, and acceptability are the main drivers of consumption. Nutrition-sensitive food system interventions that address these drivers may be effective in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. This study evaluates the effect of an integrated nutrition-sensitive program that aimed to in...

Feral cats ( Felis catus ) pose a significant global threat to biodiversity, primarily through predation, disease and competition. A key gap in parameterizing models for improving management decisions for feral cat control relates to factors that drive feral cat survival and movement in the wild. Our study objective was to conduct the first continental-scale analysis of survival rates and displacement distances for feral cats....

Populated coastal areas worldwide have a legacy of numerous solid waste disposal sites. At the same time, mean sea level is rising and likely to accelerate, increasing flooding and/or erosion. There is therefore concern that landfill sites located at and near the coast pose a growing risk to the environment from the potential release of liquid and solid waste materials. This paper aims to assess our present understanding of th...

Summary The dematiaceous (melanized) fungus S cedosporium prolificans is an emerging and frequently fatal pathogen of immunocompromised humans and which, along with the closely related fungi P seudallescheria boydii , S cedosporium apiospermum and S . aurantiacum in the P seudallescheria – S cedosporium complex, is a contributing aetiology to tsunami lung and central nervous system infections in near‐drowning victims who have...
