Recently, international judicial forums have issued landmark advisory opinions on the subject of the ocean–climate nexus. The opinions are based on the recognition of the interconnection between the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). All judicial forums stated that Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are a distinct focus due to thei...
Food web complexity alters phytoplankton persistence and resilience to nutrient pulses in experimental ecosystemsNARA Subscribed
In aquatic ecosystems, greater food web complexity is theorized to increase persistence and resilience of primary production to pulse disturbances, yet experimental evidence is limited. We simulated two storm‐induced pulse disturbances by adding nutrients (~ 3%–5% increase in ambient concentrations) to three ponds with low, intermediate, and high food web complexity and compared to reference ponds. We evaluated the ecological...
Weedy rice is a close relative of cultivated rice ( Oryza sativa ) that infests rice fields worldwide and drastically reduces yields. To combat this agricultural pest, rice farmers in the southern US began to grow herbicide‐resistant (HR) rice cultivars in the early 2000s, which permitted the application of herbicides that selectively targeted weedy rice without harming the crop. The widespread adoption of HR rice coincided wi...
Empowerment of parents of infants with congenital heart disease after rapid genome sequencingNARA Subscribed
Background Despite rapid genome sequencing (rGS) being utilized as a first-tier genetic test for infants with congenital heart disease (CHD), little is known about its impact on parental empowerment. Methods To address this gap, parents of infants with CHD (≤ 1 year old at the time of inpatient rGS) were asked to participate in an online survey, which measured empowerment using an adapted version of the Genomic Empowerment Sca...
Bilateralism in ocean governance is a novel concept that can be developed under the existing International Environmental Law (IEL) and United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This research paper suggested that bilateralism in ocean governance is one of the Agenda of Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14). This research paper utilized the methodology of a Comprehensive Review of Law and Relevant Literature (...
