Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Sustainable management of post-phytoremediation biomassNARA Subscribed
Organic and inorganic contaminants are entrained into environmental systems through natural and anthropogenic processes, such as mining activities, manufacturing, and waste disposal. In terrestrial and aquatic environments, the contaminant(s) remediation can be achieved by immobilization, thereby inhibiting their dispersal and bioavailability. Mobilization, through leaching and plant uptake, is another process of pollutant rem...
Ecological and Mutation‐Order Speciation in SenecioNARA Subscribed
Natural selection shapes how new species arise, yet the mechanisms that generate reproductive barriers remain actively debated. Although ecological divergence in contrasting environments and mutation‐order processes in similar environments are often viewed as distinct speciation mechanisms, we show they can occur simultaneously and act as part of a continuum of selective pressures. In the Senecio lautus species complex, Dune a...
Measuring the Diurnal Variation of Root Conductance in Olive Trees Using Microtensiometers and Sap Flow SensorsNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Understanding the variation of root hydraulic conductance ( L p ) is critical for the simulation of the soil–plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC), but its monitoring remains challenging. In this study, we introduce a new non-destructive method for characterizing L p dynamics in woody species through the combination of simultaneous determinations of sap flow and xylem water potential. Recent studies indicate th...
Broad thermal tolerance and high mitochondrial genetic connectivity in the pinfish ( Lagodon rhomboides )NARA Subscribed
Pinfish ( Lagodon rhomboides ) are highly abundant in coastal ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic Ocean and serve as a crucial link in marine food webs. Despite their ecological relevance, little is known about this species' susceptibility to anthropogenic climate change. Here, we characterized patterns of mitochondrial genetic divergence and examined the upper thermal tolerance of pinfish across a large port...
