Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are essential for conservation planning. Using the loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta )...

Experiments on entire ecosystems have contributed knowledge on effects of atmospheric CO 2 and climate change, environmental pollutants, trophic cascades, response of fisheries to management, consumer interactions, ecosystem resilience and stability, and early warning indicators of critical transitions in ecosystem state. Rate of change in external drivers of an ecosystem such as climate warming, inflow of water or nutrients,...

Objectives Physical activity is associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer (PCa) progression and death; changes in insulin sensitivity and inflammation are potential mediating mechanisms. This study examined whether exercise after PCa diagnosis affects insulin-related and inflammatory biomarkers. Methods The Active Surveillance Exercise (ASX) randomized controlled trial was assigned to men undergoing active surveillance f...

Multiple-use conflicts of the marine benthos (“bottom-use conflicts”) are increasing as humans expand use of the coastal zone. These conflicts necessitate balanced policies that consider the economic and ecological benefits of different bottom uses. In the Virginia coastal lagoons on the US east coast, there is a potential bottom-use conflict between hard clam ( Mercenaria mercenaria ) aquaculture and seagrass ( Zostera marina...

Net global losses of seagrasses have accelerated efforts to understand recovery from disturbances. Stressors causing disturbances (e.g., storms, heatwaves, boating) vary temporally and spatially within meadows potentially affecting recovery. To test differential recovery, we conducted a removal experiment at sites that differed in thermal stress for a temperate seagrass ( Zostera marina ). We also synthesized prior studies of...

The progress in chemical analytics and understanding of pesticide dynamics in surface waters allows establishing robust data on compounds with frequent exceedances of quality standards. The current chemical, temporal, and spatial coverage of the pesticide monitoring campaigns differs strongly between European countries. A questionnaire revealed differences in monitoring strategies in seven selected European countries; Nordic c...

Achieving Good Environmental Status (GES) requires managing ecosystems subject to a variety of pressures such as climate change, eutrophication, and fishing. However, ecosystem models are generally much better at representing top-down impacts from fishing than bottom-up impacts due to warming or changes in nutrient loading. Bottom-up processes often have to be parameterised with little data or worse still taken as a system inp...
