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...

Background Fomepizole has been suggested as adjunctive therapy for severe acetaminophen poisoning though clinical efficacy is unknown. We sought to determine trends in the use of fomepizole for acetaminophen poisoning. Methods This is a cross-sectional analysis of hospitalized patients with acetaminophen poisoning from January 2013 through December 2024, using Epic Cosmos, a research database of 298 million patients nationally...

Stacking desirable haplotypes across the genome to develop superior genotypes has been implemented in several crop species. A major challenge in Optimal Haplotype Selection is identifying a set of parents that collectively contain all desirable haplotypes, a complex combinatorial problem with countless possibilities. In this study, we evaluated the performance of metaheuristic search algorithms (MSAs)—genetic algorithm (GA), d...

While the ecological effects of wildfires have been documented in terrestrial and aquatic environments, impacts on coastal and ocean ecosystems are largely unexplored. Here, we describe the physical and chemical properties of ash from the CZU Lightning Complex fire (California, USA) and assess its experimental impacts on unicellular marine phytoplankton, using model monocultures. Air‐fall ash samples were primarily composed of...

Forage availability is a key factor regulating large herbivore populations. Global changes in land use and climate may affect the spatiotemporal distribution of forage across the ranges of large herbivores, especially in mountain ecosystems. We test two synergistic hypotheses for how landscape and climate changes from 2001 to 2023 have affected forb and graminoid biomass at the peak of the growing season within and across ecor...

Purpose of Review A major contributor to household air pollution (HAP) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is unclean cooking fuel. Improved cookstove technology (ICT) interventions have been promoted as a solution, but their impacts on health are unclear. Our aim is to conduct a systematic review to explore the impacts of ICT interventions on health outcomes in SSA. We conducted a systematic review, following PRISMA guidelines, on IC...

Ocean acidification can negatively affect a broad range of physiological processes in marine shelled molluscs. Marine bioeroding organisms could, in contrast, benefit from ocean acidification due to reduced energetic costs of bioerosion. Ocean acidification could thus exacerbate negative effects (e.g. reduced growth) of ocean acidification and shell borers on oysters. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of ocean aci...

Heat flow measurements are a standard technique in Geophysics both onshore and offshore. Recently, such measurements became increasingly important in shallow waters. The increasing amount of offshore power installations makes it necessary to have a good knowledge about the subsurface heat flow and the thermal properties of the sediments to optimize the construction of the necessary powerlines. While the thermal properties are...
