Since their discovery, the question of the phylogenetic position of Microcerberidae within Isopoda has been widely debated. Initially perceived as close relatives of the Anthuridae, the debate has shifted towards considering them either as a sister group of Asellota or positioned within the Asellota in their own right. In this study, we used sequence data for eight slow‐evolving nuclear genes in 37 isopod taxa to test for the...
Coral acclimatization to novel, co-varying stressors is associated with fitness trade-offsNARA Subscribed
Reef-building corals are under pressure to acclimatize and/or adapt to multiple co-occurring stressors, including climate change and declines in water quality. However, their capacity to do so is largely unknown. Yet, some corals naturally persist in habitats with multi-stressor conditions which can provide crucial insight into coral adaptive capacity under future ocean conditions. To assess the role of phenotypic plasticity a...

Mercury (Hg), and specifically methylmercury (MeHg), is a contaminant of global concern to humans and wildlife, but there is still limited understanding of its effects on many taxa. Amphibians are closely associated with water, where Hg is converted to MeHg, and high concentrations of MeHg can reduce survival of amphibians in the wild. However, limited non-lethal proxies exist for estimating MeHg bioaccumulation in amphibian l...
Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) are among the most important aquaculture species but are highly susceptible to Vibrio infections. Novel disease management strategies are necessary. Previous studies have reported that peracetic acid (PAA) is an effective disinfectant, but its application in shrimp aquaculture remains underexplored. This study aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) of PAA at tw...
Site Selection for Seaweed Biofilters Installation within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage AreaNARA Subscribed
Elevated terrestrial nutrient loads entering coastal waters in northeastern Australia are adversely affecting the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. ‘Seaweed biofilters’ have been proposed as a mechanism for the bioextraction of elevated nutrient levels from coastal environments, with potential to target diffuse source nutrient discharges while generating biomass with potential applications as fertiliser, soil conditionin...
Rare disease genomics and justice: overview of a workshop at the Fondation Brocher, 22–24 January 2025NARA Subscribed
Genomics is transforming health care but its implementation raises challenges. This paper reports a 2025 workshop on justice in the implementation of genomics for rare disorders. The workshop goals were to develop a consensus understanding of the problems faced by rare disease patients and families where justice is at stake, to achieve a shared perspective on support for rare disease patients, and to consider the implications...
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...
Bacteria are fundamental to coral health and resilience, though a dearth of knowledge exists on the formation of the coral microbiome in early life history stages. Although this initial microbial consortium is thought to hold key roles throughout development, its sparsity is easily obscured by environmental background microbiota. This opacity renders accurate studies of the early coral microbiome difficult, and limits applicat...
Effective conservation and enforcement strategies for marine turtles depend on understanding population structure, connectivity, and the geographic origins of turtles impacted by threats such as bycatch, overexploitation, and illegal trade. However, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) data remain fragmented across studies, with inconsistent sequence lengths, haplotype nomenclature, and metadata standards limiting their application in co...
Emotions are central to engagement and learning in physical education (PE), yet German PE has lacked validated tools to assess discrete emotions. This study translated and validated the Discrete Emotions in Physical Education Scale (DEPES) for German secondary-school students (DEPES-G) and piloted a simplified elementary-school version (DEPES-G-E). Cross-sectional surveys were collected from secondary students ( n = 418, M age...
