Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Carbon production at shallow‐water artificial reef ecosystems relies on water column primary productivityNARA Subscribed
The attraction‐production continuum in fishery management centers on the extent to which artificial reefs increase fish production or whether they simply redistribute fish. Reef systems could produce carbon to support growth of higher trophic levels. Therefore, we aimed to understand carbon flows at lower trophic levels on shallow‐water (11 m) artificial reefs within a region which hosts an extensive artificial reef network. W...
Balancing Organic and Inorganic Carbon Dynamics in Enhanced Rock Weathering: Implications for Carbon SequestrationNARA Subscribed
Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a promising strategy for CO 2 removal via promoting inorganic carbon (IC) sequestration. However, knowledge gaps persist regarding its influence on the largest terrestrial carbon pool, soil organic carbon (SOC) and how these effects evolve as weathering progresses. This study investigated how basalt weathering influences soil carbon fluxes and organic matter (OM) turnover. Over a 6th‐month inc...
Soil Microbiome Inoculation for Resilient and Multifunctional New Forests in Post‐Agricultural LandscapesNARA Subscribed
Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a critical strategy to restore ecosystems and enhance biodiversity on post‐agricultural landscapes. However, agricultural legacies, such as altered soil structure, nutrient imbalances, and depleted microbial diversity, can slow down forest establishment or cause ecosystems to deviate from expected successional trajectories. In this opinion paper, we explore the potential of soil inoc...
Climate change is altering species’ range limits and transforming ecosystems. For example, warming temperatures are leading to the range expansion of tropical, cold-sensitive species at the expense of their cold-tolerant counterparts. In some temperate and subtropical coastal wetlands, warming winters are enabling mangrove forest encroachment into salt marsh, which is a major regime shift that has significant ecological and so...
The annual cycle of global dissolved oxygen content ( O 2 C ) and mean oxygen concentration in the surface mixed layer are estimated using monthly climatological oxygen fields from the World Ocean Atlas 2018 (WOA18). The largest seasonal variability in the mixed layer O 2 C occurs in the extra-tropics between 30° and 70° latitude of each hemisphere. A global view of the role of entrainment, air-sea flux, and biological activit...
Climate change is transforming ecosystems and affecting ecosystem goods and services. Along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts of the southeastern United States, the frequency and intensity of extreme freeze events greatly influence whether coastal wetlands are dominated by freeze‐sensitive woody plants (mangrove forests) or freeze‐tolerant grass‐like plants (salt marshes). In response to warming winters, mangroves have be...
Meta-analysis of Nekton Utilization of Coastal Habitats in the Northern Gulf of MexicoNARA Subscribed
Estuaries in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) provide habitat for many ecologically, commercially, and recreationally important fish and crustacean species (i.e., nekton), but patterns of nekton abundance and community assemblages across habitat types, salinity zones, and seasons have not been described region-wide. Recognizing the wealth of information collected from previous and ongoing field sampling efforts, we developed...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS : a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South AmericaNARA Subscribed
Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we a...
White spot syndrome virus ( WSSV ) is an important cause of mortality and economic losses in shrimp farming. Although WSSV ‐induced mortality is virus dose dependent and WSSV infection does not necessarily lead to mortality, the relationships between virus‐particle dose, infection and mortality have not been analysed quantitatively. Here, we explored WSSV dose–response by a combination of experiments, modelling and meta‐analys...
