Human development is placing growing pressure on coastal ecosystems worldwide. Coastal dolphins are consequently exposed to a range of anthropogenic threats, yet for many species, limited knowledge of population size and dynamics hinders effective conservation planning. Four species of humpback dolphin ( Sousa spp.) inhabit shallow coastal waters globally, and all are threatened by human activities. Along the South African coa...

The future of how we understand and manage ecosystems largely depends on direct and continuous observations that connect local territories to planetary processes. Latin America (LATAM: Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean) hosts ecosystems critical for regulating global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, persistent underinvestment in science and technology hampers the long‐term monitoring capacity neede...

Global fisheries support livelihoods, food security and economies, but the incidental capture of non‐target species—termed bycatch—remains a key conservation challenge. We compiled peer‐reviewed published studies to assess metrics used to evaluate the effectiveness of bycatch reduction technologies and gear modifications (BRTs) for reducing air‐breathing marine megafauna bycatch in global passive fisheries. We assessed 196 stu...

Aim The assembly of tropical tree floras is complex, involving many lineage‐specific histories; however, focusing on the biogeographic history of diverse clades can reveal general patterns. We investigated the historical biogeography of the ecologically important Brazil nut clade (Lecythidoideae) to: (1) expand prior phylogenies with greater sampling of the early branching Andean‐centered subclades; (2) infer the ages and disp...

This study evaluated the potential of mixed microalgae-bacteria cultures as electroactive microorganisms to enhance electricity production while simultaneously treating wastewater in emerging biophotovoltaic (BPV) systems. Graphite felt decorated with TiO₂ nanotubes (TiO₂-NTs) was used as the anode, supporting the growth of a biofilm composed of mixed microalgae-bacterial cultures. Batch BPV reactors treated real domestic-indu...
