Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) in depleted gas reservoirs is an effective strategy for balancing renewable energy supply and demand, with cushion gases being used to maintain storage pressure. Here CO 2 is investigated as a cushion gas via measurements of the dispersion between hydrogen and CO 2 in a (Bentheimer sandstone) rock core, performed at reservoir-relevant conditions using a novel core flooding apparatus. Such dat...

Cryptophyllachora milletticola sp. nov., a causal agent of tar spot, on living leaves of Millettia versicolor (Fabaceae), is described from Yunnan Province, China, based on morphological characteristics and multigene phylogenetic analysis. The current low number of described species of tar spot fungi and the scarcity of available molecular data have constrained robust and precise phylogenetic inference for this group. Future r...

Conservation is an inherently social process—people collectively endeavor to enact conservation. Yet, in conservation social science, research methodologies, training, and competency are less common than in natural sciences. Globally, formal education and training in the social sciences are often unavailable or inaccessible to conservation practitioners, and nonformal education may help fill this gap. To identify potential opp...

Effective neuropsychological assessment of people with HIV (PWH) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is hampered by the unavailability of adequate test norms. We aimed to: (1) develop demographically-corrected (regression-based) South African (SA) normative data for an HIV appropriate neuropsychological test battery for Xhosa home-language speakers; (2) compare the utility of those norms to that of (i) internal standar...

Conservation of marine biodiversity requires an understanding of the habitats needed to support and replenish species of interest. It also requires knowledge about the abundance and diversity of multispecies assemblages. Variation in the distribution and composition of kelp forests, one of the most productive marine coastal habitats globally, can have major influences on reef fishes—a group of ecologically and socioeconomicall...

Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination and food production. Reduced taxonomic α‐diversity is often reported under land use change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e., γ‐diversity), either due to reduced β‐diversity amplifying diversity loss or increased β‐diversity dampening diversity loss. Additionally, studies often focus on taxo...

Introduction To counteract the rapid loss of marine forests globally and meet international commitments of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the Convention on Biological Diversity ‘30 by 30’ targets, there is an urgent need to enhance our capacity for macroalgal restoration. The Green Gravel Action Group (GGAG) is a global network of 67 members that are working on the restoration of a diverse range of macroalgal fores...
